When purchased, it was discovered that the OE Passenger Side (Right) brake light/indicator housing of this vehicle had melted from the heat of the standard OE halogen brake bulb, causing the brake light to fall out of its placement in the housing. This results in the brake light indicator to emit little or no visible warning to other drivers, since the indicator bulb has fallen down outside of the casing. Because the indicator may not be visible to other drivers, it presents a hazard of others not being warned that I am braking and could result in drivers of other vehicles not being prepared to brake and therefore could result in a collision that can vary from minor fender bender to fatal collision. It could also result in a more devastating vehicle fire that could destroy more than just the indicator housing. It is visible and is reproduced every time vehicle brake pedal is depressed and brake indicators are engaged. Problem has been confirmed by BMW of South Austin. This specific vehicle has yet to be inspected by insurance, police, manufacturer or others, but is a known problem with these rear indicator housing assemblies that are present on both sides of the vehicle. No warning chimes or signals were present before, during, or after incident, and to this day, there are still no warning signals, signs, chimes, or indicators present.

2007 X5 4.8 WITH PANORAMIC SUNROOF, SUNROOF TRAY OVERFLOWS AND LEAKS INTO INTERIOR ELECTRICAL, AIRBAGS, AND CARPET DUE TO DEFECTIVE DESIGN/ASSEMBLY (BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION). SUNROOF DRAINS BOTH FRONT AND REAR HAVE DRAIN TUBES WHICH ARE PRONE TO KINK AND BACK UP WATER INTO THE SUNROOF TRAY, WHICH THEN SPILLS OVER ONTO THE TOPSIDE OF THE HEADLINER AND FROM THERE ONTO JUST ABOUT EVERY ELECTRONIC ITEM IN THE CAR INCLUDING AIR BAGS AND CONTROLLERS, LIGHTING CONTROLS, AND ELECTRICAL BOXES ON THE FLOOR AND TRUNK AREA. SOME HAVE REPORTED ARCS AND CAR FIRES DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE; BMW SAYS IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE ALTHOUGH HAS ZERO LISTED FOR SUNROOF MAINTENANCE, AND NO AMOUNT OF CLEANING IS GOING TO FIX THE SUNROOF DRAIN LINES THAT I FOUND TWISTED...LIKELY BEEN THAT WAY SINCE INITIAL ASSEMBLY, BUT ROUTING DOWN INSIDE THE APILLARS MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO TRY TO FIX IT, MUCH LESS SEE IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS DEFECT HASN'T INVOLVED NHTSA RECALL SINCE IT CAN VERY EASILY LEAD TO AN IN-USE ELECTRICAL FIRE AT WORST, OR AT BEST FAILURE OF AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED DUE TO WATER/CORROSION ISSUES, AS WELL AS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN ELECTRICAL DAMAGE FOR EACH OCCURRENCE.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE COMMONLY AND POPULARLY KNOWN WEEP HOLE COOLANT LEAK. APPARENTLY, BMW HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEAR MODEL CARS, DATING BACK TO 2002. THEY HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN. HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS ON THE REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE, WHICH COSTS OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR LABOR ALONE FOR A RATHER 'INEXPENSIVE' PART. IT WOULD ONLY BE FAIR FOR BMW TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS COMMONLY KNOWN ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO AFFECT HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF BMWS WITH THE SAME ENGINES. THE COOLANT LEAKS ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE ENGINE THROUGH A RANDOM HOLE AROUND THE ENGINE. IT IS A RATHER COSTLY FIX DUE TO SEVERAL COMPONENTS NEEDING TO BE REMOVED BEFORE ONE CAN GET TO THE BROKEN PART TO BE REPLACED. IT IS UNFAIR FOR CURRENT OWNERS TO HAVE TO PAY SIGNIFICANTLY FOR A CAR THAT HAS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS CURRENT UNFORTUNATE DISCOVERY. MY CAR SUDDENLY LEAKED ALL THE COOLANT OUT OF THE CAR AND INTO THE ROAD AND MY DRIVEWAY. THANKFULLY I WAS ALMOST HOME WHEN IT BROKE DOWN. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FREEWAY OR ON THE STREET AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A RISK OF GETTING HIT BY OTHER CARS IF MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY STALLED. AND I WAS DRIVING WITH BABY ON BOARD! I SUGGEST THIS BE INVESTIGATED, AS IT'S AN ISSUE THAT'S APPARENTLY VERY COMMON IN THE N62 ENGINES.

I'M GETTING WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASH STATING MY TAILLIGHTS ARE OUT. I CHECKED BOTH TAILLIGHTS AND THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE BULBS ARE MELTED THROUGH. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE BULBS TO OVERHEAT POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FIRE. THIS HAPPENS IN PARK OR DRIVE. THE TAILLIGHTS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AND SOME TYPE OF CODING OR RESISTER WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT THEM FROM OVERHEATING AGAIN

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS RECALL, I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 1.5 YEARS AND THIS IS THE THIRD RECALL! MY CURRENT MAIN CONCERN IS THERE IS A BURNING GAS LIKE OIL ODOR IN MY CAR. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE SAYING REMEDY IS UNAVAILABLE! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN LIFE IS IN DANGER. BMW SHOULD PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION!! WHEN I START THE CAR I SMELL BURNING SMELL AND SOMETIMES SEE SMOKE COME FROM HOOD OF CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO BMW 2 MONTHS AGO FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD ALL WAS WELL WITH MY CAR. TWO OTHER RECALLS WERE CORRECTED HOWEVER, I STILL HAVE THE SAME GAS ODOR WHICH WAS DUE TO ANOTHER RECALL DEALING WITH THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD DRIVING THIS CAR, AND ITS AN INSULT FOR BMW TO SEND A LETTER STATING THE ISSUE BUT STATE THERE IS NO REMEDY WHEN THE RECALL CONSEQUENCES CAN CAUSE A FIRE! AND YOU TELLING ME THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE REMEDY!! PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS, I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER.

I HAVE DISCOVERED A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 X5. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND AFTER A HEAVY RAIN, I NOTICED THAT THE TRUNK OF MY CAR WAS FILLED WITH WATER. I REMOVED 3.5 GALLONS OF WATER. I WENT TO START THE CAR BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WITH THE BATTERY AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS BEING COVERED IN THAT MUCH WATER, IT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. ONCE I HAD REMOVED THE WATER AND LET IT DRY OUT I CHARGED THE BATTERY AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR. WHEN I GOT IT TO START, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. MY ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, 4X4 LIGHTS ALL LIT UP AMONGST SOME OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AND HAD TO MANUALLY PUSH IT IN THE GARAGE. THE CAR IS STUCK IN A LIMP MODE/SAFE MODE. AFTER I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR BMW'S. I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A US DISTRICT COURT RULING AGAINST THIS ISSUE AND THAT BMW 5 SERIES CARS BETWEEN 2004-2010 WERE COVERED IN A RECALL. THE RECALL IS DUE TO FAULTY WATER DRAIN TUBES COMING FROM THE SUNROOF AND WHEN THEY GET CLOGGED THE WATER DRAINS INTO THE TRUNK WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED AMONGST OTHER IMPORTANT ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL BMW DEALER AS WELL AS BMW OF NORTH AMERICA AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE QUITE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME AS THE RECALL PERTAINS ONLY TO THE 5 SERIES VEHICLES. IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT BMW IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SPECIFIES ONLY 5 SERIES CARS THEY CAN USE THAT AS A LOOPHOLE AND LEAVE OTHERS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.
