The contact owns 2010 bmw 528i. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign id number: 12v126000 (electrical system:battery:cables) and called the dealer to secure an appointment for recall repairs.

Found faults for vanos system. I was driving on the highway and car start making a rattle noise like something bucking against something as i accelerated.
I received a displayed message there was a malfunction with the rear lamp. When checking the tail light assembly and wiring, i noticed the connector on the tail lamp assembly was melted (plastic) where the brown ground wire connected. The male/female connector parts got so hot that the plastic connector was melted where the ground wire connects. This was on the drivers side, but it is likely the passenger side would have the same problem. The heat generated to melt the plastic connector could cause the ground wire to burn and the brake/rear lights to fail. With a failure of the rear lights, an accident could happen.
The insulaton of the wiring to both my headlight and parking light lamps is flaking off in small and large pieces leaving the copper wiring exposed.
My vehicle suddenly stops. I've already replace the sparkplugs, coils, & fuel filter, but the problem does not go away. The sudden stopping happens when i'm driving or when i'm idle at either a stop sign or a light. The vehicle sputters until it completely turns off from i'm idle and there is no warning for when i'm actually driving, it just stops.
I took my vehicle to bmw irvine in california for a recallon my tail lights, they stop working, the recall was to replace both sides and they only did one. The side that burn out but they left the same connector which was burnt and with the wires loose and i wasnt even notify when i pick the vehicle until when i start driving the light stopworking again. They answer is not t heir fault dont care. Now my vehicle doesn't run and i got all kinds of wired messages on my idrive.half way done recalls??? bad customer service.
The contact owns a 2010 bmw 528i. While driving various speeds, the brake warning indicator illuminated. The contact also stated that the right and left turn signal indicators failed to operate and the rear brake lights failed to illuminate. In addition, the instrument panel lighting failed to illuminate. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing of the failures. The contact, a certified independent mechanic, stated that the brake light module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and informed the contact that the vin was not included in any recalls; therefore, no assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Vehicle stalled twice on the interstate while driving 70 mph; the engine shut off while driving in traffic and was nearly rear ended both times. Another time it stalled while approaching a red light. My vehicle has been at the bmw in baton rouge for almost two months now and they are telling me there is not yet a fix from bmw.
While driving car began sluggish and the engine/transmission sounded like it was slipping. Took it to the dealer said it was the #2 and #5 engine coils. I replaced those. Two weeks later same problem engine coil #2 had to be replaced. Two months later same problem - engine coils #1, #2, and #5 had to be replaced. No explanation for the continued problem. Their only suggestion is to have them all replaced. Seems like there's a bigger problem here.

The pcv valve heater melted causing the fire.the fire department was called who put the fire out and the vehicle was towed to the tow yard. Recall notice was received from bmw, however, no instruction provided on how to file a complaint on this loss. Was informed "remedy unavailable".

Each time i started the engine , there would be a lot of smoke coming from under the hood,i brought the car to the mechanic, and was told that engine oil was leaking from somewhere. There is currently a recall on the vehicle, involving the pcv valve, which also relates to leakage of engine oil.the recall poses a fire risk . I've contacted bmw, they stated "unfortunately, the parts and procedures aren't available to any dealer yet.bmw is currently working on producing the parts for this recall. " i haven't been given a specific time frame to which they will fix the problem , there have been many reports on the news of bmw cars that have caught on fire , even while just being parked. I have two young children and i'm ver concerned about our safety.

While accelerating the car jumps into neutral randomly. Whether from a slow start or accelerating on a highway. It has happened dozens of times and the dealer says there is no fix.
I have taken this car in specifically for this complaint twice in the last year.i have a severe gas fume smell in my car, in my trunk and around my car.happens after i have been driving and park and return to the car typically.sometimes happens when i have been driving and turn off the car.if i park in my garage the garage smells like gas/gas fumes for a lengthy period of time.i have been told that after testing by the dealer that there is no gas leak.the problem continues.happens regardless of the amount of gas in the tank.happens mainly in the warmer months but, i live in az so that accounts for 9 months.i feel the car is dangerous to drive, the fumes are noxious and remain in the interior of the car for awhile.i ask my children to get in the car when it smells like gas fumes upon picking them up from school.i have owned other cars in az and have never experienced an issue with gas fume smells consuming the interior of my car nor garage.i was told by the service manager that complaints similar to mine have surfaced in reno and tucson.suggesting this may be a result of the gas being different in these two cities.that makes absolutely no sense as i frequently buy gas in phoenix and have gas fume issues.i cannot get the dealer to address the problem to the extent of a solution.i know this is not normal nor acceptable.i fell unsafe with my young children in the car.i fell unsafe driving my car and worry about being hit by someone with gas fume issues in the trunk and car and i have relayed such to the dealer repeatedly.i did not receive any feedback from the dealer after the last service check for leaking gas about 2 weeks ago.i was told the car was safe and to carry on with my 2 hour commute on a busy freeway and they would check with other dealers where the similar complaints had risen.
I noticed a smell of fuel each time my wife parked her car inside our garage.her car for due a service so i took the vehicle in for a full service.the mechanic called and asked if we had been smelling fuel inside or around the vehicle.he then explained that he suspected it was originating from underneath the rear seat.he later contacted me to explain that the plastic tube located on top of the in-tank electric fuel pump assembly had developed a crackand was allowing fuel to spray out on top of the assembly, which was allowing fuel and fumes to build-up in-and-around the vehicle.he recommended we replace it immediately due to safety concerns.when i went to pickup the vehicle, he showed me the crack in the fuel pump assembly, and explained that he had never seen one crack like that.taking the vehicle in for maintenance and finding the problem with the fuel pump assembly at the time that we did, i believe, was a disaster avoided. We are planning a trip out of town, and will leave the vehicle in our garage for approximately 5 days.our home gas (open flamed) hot water heater is located inside our garage.my wife often backed her car into our garage which placed the rear of the vehicle approximately 2 to 3 feet from the open flames of the hot water heater.i shutter to think what might have happened if we had left the vehicle with the leaking fuel and fumes, and open flames from the hot water heater shutup in our garage for 5 days.not only would we have lost our car, but quite possibly our home.
While having my oil changed, i told the mechanic that i smelled a little bit of gasoline when driving and to check it out. I was shown that under the back seat, behind the driver side there is a sending unit and a fuel line that transfers gas from one tank to another. This plastic component has a tip where the fuel line connects. This tip cracked and broke (no idea why), leaking and pooling gasoline inside the car, directly underneath the passenger seat and filling the car with highly combustible fumes. So much so that the mechanic i took this car to, would not let me drive it out of there. I had to have it towed to a dealership. Bmw customer relations had me leave this car for five days at a bmw dealership while they went through their process. Then, they informed me they assume no responsibility for this and they do not consider this a defect or a flawed design.my car is only five years old and is kept in perfect condition. Please look into this. I fear i will read about some person or family being burned alive and i feel i have to do something. I have the defective parts if you need them.

While driving, all of a sudden, it comes to neutral and engine rpm goes to around 4000 and transmission malfunctioning sign comes. I have to pullover and restart the engine. After that it runs smooth. It happens once a while. In last two months it happened six times. Two times i was on the highway and hardly survived from the accidents. It is a serious safety concern.
While driving car began sluggish and the engine/transmission sounded like it was slipping. Took it to the dealer said it was the #2 and #5 engine coils. I replaced those. Two weeks later same problem engine coil #2 had to be replaced. Two months later same problem - engine coils #1, #2, and #5 had to be replaced. No explanation for the continued problem. Their only suggestion is to have them all replaced. Seems like there's a bigger problem here.
