I just closed the door and it would not latch! I have soft close doors and it would not work. It will not latch with the key and it won't work with the inside lock button? I had to tie the door shut to get home! I see that this is a recall for some vehicles but not mine? This is very unsafe and very frustrating! I see that there are many other models like mine having the same issue. This should be repaired by bmw across the board!
Brake peddle appear to resist depression, and braking becomes difficult or impossible. The resistance feels like a control system resisting, and preventing the peddle from being depressed. But it could possibly be a failure of power assist, but it feels like a hard, but slightly spongy resistance, like a hydraulic system closed a valve down stream of the brakes. The issue began abruptly 5 days ago, from no indication at all of an issue, to an abrupt issue in full effect. Now it is consistant, and very repeatable. When braking to a stop from over 20 MPH, the brakes work normally down to ~10mph. Then between 10 and 7 MPH, the brakes feel like they are pushing back, if not strongly resisting depression. Braking is difficult and dangerous. Take caution.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 bmw 750li. The contact applied the push-to-start ignition and shifted into drive when the transmission automatically shifted into neutral without warning. The contact turned the engine off and upon restarting, the vehicle resumed normally. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but was not repaired. There was a recall related to the defect under the federal safety agency campaign id number 12v502000 (electrical system, power train), however the contact's VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
Driver side door will not close after I attempted to get in the driver seat.
The seat sensor is failing on the driver side reporting a driver restraint system fault. Causing error of airbag system. Possibly due to massage seat leaking. Read numerous reports about same error fault on bimmerfest.com forums.
The right side passenger soft auto close latch is not working. The latch somehow tries to unlock when trying to soft close and door remains open. Door has to be manually hard closed due to this issue. This seems to be a widespread problem for a $100k car. No updates or reset option available on the internet.
The car, while driving, rebooted its internal systems and the car had a 2-second shut-down and greatly reduced speed and responsiveness. When the dashboard and middle console came functional again, it displayed several warnings that certain features (like dynamic drive) were shut off and the car needs to go to a dealership. This car has been plagued with "electronic" problems since its purchase and has been in the shop every two weeks with a system failing or shutting off. Bmw has proposed many solutions but have yet to fix it, and after the last "fix" the car started to reboot itself and turn off safety features. The car has had a "version update" of the software but that has seemed to make matters worse. I have pictures of the on-display faults that were being displayed as well as a video recording of the system rebooting itself.
