Issues: both front thrust arm bushings worn, oil leaking from vehicle, replacement of microfilter needed, brake fluid flush service and sunroof not initialized. Comments: I took the vehicle in to be serviced as I was getting a driver stability malfunction error and when driving over potholes or any uneven street/highway, wheel would jerk extremely hard causing me to enter other lanes. Vehicle was pulling hard and I heard noise every time I drove over uneven roads. I was also getting an anti-trap malfunction for sunroof error message. Issues: vehicle sputtered, shut off in the middle of an intersection and would not start, vehicle still pulling and needed to replace the two front tires. Comments: due to the vehicle malfunctioning, sputtering and not starting, I was stalled in the middle of an intersection and could have been injured in an accident. Other motorists helped push the vehicle to the side of the road to get me out of the way of oncoming traffic. Issues: 2nd occurrence: faulty fuel pump and ekps (< one month after first repair). Vehicle needed right front tire replaced. Comments: upon driving my vehicle onto the dealership lot to have my tire replaced, as soon as the technician got in the vehicle, it stalled and would not start again. Issue: 2nd occurrence: left front thrust arm ball joint loose causing clunk in front end. Issue: 3rd occurrence: left lower control arm bent. Wheel alignment needed due to bent control arm. Comments: my husband was driving on the highway with our children in the car and the tire and steering wheel began to jerk. The steering wheel had to be turned all the way to the right for the vehicle to go straight on the highway. These issues put my family in danger and could have severely caused my family harm and/or harm to other vehicles.

My vehicle cut of on me on the freeway in the middle lane and traffic. My engine started smoke. I was afraid for myself and children. I have always took my car into the bmw of bloomfield dealership for services and maintenance I have never miss not one appointment. For the last 5 to 6 months. My vehicle stayed in their dealership. The longest was approximately 42 days and once I received my car my engine started smoking so I give them back my vehicle. I asked them if they found out what caused my engine to smoke like this? There couldn't give me a straight forward answer. On numerous occasions while picking up my vehicle they always left something unplugged causing my interior lights to go crazy because of the wires being not properly fixed. This has happened at least 3 times in six months. I've probably spent no less than 3,500. On top of them telling me I need some run flat tires and all the lights will stop because of those tires. Only 5 days later my car stalled right in the middle of the freeway. I called roadside assistance and they took the car over to the bmw dealership the called me to inform me of my engine being doesn't work I asked how they said they don't know, and in the same breath they said that if I wanted a new engine it will cost me 15,000 not including time and labor.

Upon on starting the vehicle and dropping into drive or reverse the vehicle accelerates on its on , the the tachometer jumps to 1000 and even up to 1500 without touching the accelerator. I have brought the vehicle three time to different dealerships and they could fix the issue. I have almost collided with multiple vehicles in parking lots and almost ran into our building, I have to step on the break very hard to reduce the car lunging forward, the car still travels with my brake on, if there were a child or person in front of me they would be injured severely, this is very unsafe. I have video of the tachometer going from 0-1000 almost coming to a stall, it has stalled two times in the past.
