2006 BMW 7 Series Problems

DOORS DONT ALWAYS LATCH AND A PERSON WAS THROWN FROM CAR, HAVE CALLED DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID NO RECALL BUT MY CAR IS DOING IT AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM , I NEED MY CAR ADDED TO RECALL LIST ASAP

BLOWS OUT WHILE/BLUISH SMOKE, SHIFTS INTO PARK WHEN IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, WON'T GO FORWARD. TRANSMISSION FAULT LIGHT ON. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PUT OIL IN IT. THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD BE HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS, I SEE THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE OR PURCHASED THIS SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. I TRULY BELIEVE BMW NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. IT'S TERRIBLE THAT ONE WOULD PAY SO MANY CH FOR A LUXURY CAR FOR IT TO HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS.

I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A DEALER IN VIRGINIA. MAYBE A FEW WEEKS LATER THE AIRBAG WAARNING LIGHT CAME N THE SCREEN. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT BECASUE WHEN I WENT TO TAKE IT TO GET LOOKED AT BY A BMW REPAIR PERSON TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD ME THE CAR WITHOUT TELLING ME THAT INFORMATION. HE THEN TOLD ME IT IS THE ( SEAT OCCUPANCY DETECTOR PASSENGER SIDE AND RESISTENCE TO HIGH FIRING CIRCUIT , BELT TENSIONER PASSENGER SIDE. HE SAID TO CALL BMW SO I DID AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL REPAIR TIME EXPIRE A YEAR BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR . NO ONE EVER SHARED THIS INFORMATION WITH ME AND NOW IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE MY KIDS OR HUSBAND IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.. BMW SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED THAT IF IT WAS NEVER DONE WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY SENT OUT THE NOTICE TO WHOM EVER HAD THE VEHICLE BEFORE. IF SOMETHING ISNT DONE FROM THE REALL KNOWING ITS A SAFELTY ISSUE THEN IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED UNTIL REPAIRED. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND ITS A LARGE BILL FOR ME TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT WAS ALREADY RECALLED

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ISSUES, CAR WAS STATIONARY

THE FRONT LIGHT BULBS HAVE BLOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE TWICE. THE HARNESS WIRE CONNECTION IS FAULTY. ALSO THE DYNAMIC DRIVE INACTIVE WHILE THE TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AFTER VEHICLE STOPS.

I HAD BEEN FEELING SOME POWERFUL HER KING WHEN I BEGUN TO STOP AND ACCELERATE A COUPLE TIMES.. AND THEN ONE DAY IT JUST STOP GOING INTO GEAR PERIOD. . *TR

BRAKES HAVE NO POWER ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT RECALL #10V446000 WAS IN FREEWAY ALL SUDDEN LOST BRAKES LOOK ON LINE THIS WHAT I FOUND CALL MANUFACTURE DEALER THEY DENIED SERVICE

WHILE STOPPING, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD AND WENT TO THE FLOOR, JUST BARELY AVOIDING A CATASTROPHE. THIS HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MULTIPLE DEATH ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED BMW OF NA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I CLEARLY SHOULD BE, BECAUSE I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A DEALER IN VIRGINIA. MAYBE A FEW WEEKS LATER THE AIRBAG WAARNING LIGHT CAME N THE SCREEN.

TROUBLE LIGHT SHOWS-- PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS A DEFECTIVE SEAT MODULE SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HIS COST OF REPAIR IS $1,200 WITH NO ASSURANCES THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED DUE TO THE TAKATA AIR BAG RESPONSE TO THIS SENSOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 7 SERIES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED SAFE MODE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 12V502000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 124,000....UPDATED 04/25/13 *BF

OCT 19TH 2012, 2006 BMW 750LI. (AUTOMATIC PARK FEATURE CAUSES VEHICLE TO ALMOST RUN OVER MY DAUGHTER ON ITS OWN) I STOPPED THE CAR ON MY DRIVEWAY AND OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PUSHED THE P PARK BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER (OPENING DOOR WHILE CAR IS STOPPED CAUSES THIS MODEL TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT TO "P" PARK) I PROCEEDED TO EXIT CAR TO KEY IN MY GARAGE CODE ON THE KEYPAD MOUNTED BY THE DOOR ABOUT 8 FEET AWAY. THIS IS MY FIRST CAR WITH AUTOMATIC PARK FEATURE SO JUST IN CASE I ALWAYS MANUALLY PUSH THE "P" PARK BUTTON AS A REDUNDANT HABIT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT I PHYSICALLY SAW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM D DRIVE TO P PARK AND LIGHT UP BEFORE EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND IN PARK!, WHEN OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, BEFORE THE GARAGE DOOR COULD OPEN I NOTICED THE CAR FOLLOWING ME. IT MOVED ABOUT 8 FEET AND BARELY MISSED MY 4 YEAR OLD THAT WAS ON HER BICYCLE ABOUT 5 FEET AWAY. IT SLAMMED INTO MY GARAGE DOOR AT AROUND 2-5MPH BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON ITS OWN BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR, THERE WAS LITTLE GEAR LIGHT ON THE DASH AND A TRANSMISSION FAILURE CODE" APPEARED AND IT HAD SHIFTED TO N NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. NOW WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT IN D DRIVE IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL AFTER A FEW SECONDS. APPARENTLY, IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL ALL BY ITSELF AND INERTIAL PLOWED INTO THE DOOR. IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME HOW IT WENT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL UNTIL I READ YOUR ARTICLE REGARDING AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I FURTHER FOUND THROUGH THE BMW FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING MANY CARS IN THIS YEAR AND MODEL RANGE. I EVEN NOTICED THAT YOUR ADMINISTRATION HAS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. *TR

VEHICLE SLAMS INTO FIRST GEAR UPON DECELERATION AND "SLIPS" IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY, AS IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. WHEN TRANSMISSION GETS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IT WILL SLAM INTO GEAR BEFORE ACCELERATION OCCURS. CAR WAS AT BMW DEALER FOR SEVEN DAYS WITH ALL SOFTWARE UPGRADES THAT DEALER SUGGESTED WERE PERFORMED AND STILL SAME PROBLEM. NO CALL BACKS TO DATE. SPOKE WITH BMW OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO DEALER. UNWILLING TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ISSUED INTERCOMPANY TECH. BULLETINS REGARDING THE EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750. THE VEHICLE HAS A TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT THE VEHICLE TO THE PARK POSITION WHEN THE START/STOP BUTTON IS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE START/STOP BUTTON AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS AFTER THE ENGINE LOST POWER. HE WAS ABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THIS ALSO OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER. THE CONTACT PARKED AND EXITED HIS VEHICLE, UPON HIS RETURN THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED FEET AND CRASHED INTO A LAMPPOST. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR ON BOTH OCCURRENCES AND THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. THE DEALER STATED THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,000 MILES.

I PURCHASED 2 PIRELLI ROSSO TIRES FOR THE REAR OF MY 2006 BMW 760LI. I WAS DRIVING ON I-24W IN NASHVILLE, TN ON THE NIGHT OF 10/24/10. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND I COULD NOT KEEP MY CAR ON THE ROAD IF I WENT OVER 40 MPH. WHEN I CHECKED MY TIRES THE NEXT MORNING, I NOTICED THEY WERE COMPLETELY BALD. THEY ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES, USUALLY LASTING 15,000-20,000 MILES. THESE TIRES ONLY LASTED 3,500 MILES. I PURCHASED THESE TIRES ON 09/30/10. I AM A 36 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH 2 CHILDREN. I DO NOT HOT-ROD MY CAR OR DRIVE IN EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES MY CAR. I CONTACTED PIRELLI CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN ROME, GA. I WAS TREATED VERY RUDELY BY A WOMAN CALLING HERSELF "SANDRA". I WAS ONLY OFFERED 40% OFF A NEW SET OF REAR TIRES. NEVERMIND THAT THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THE TIRE. I CLEARLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE WOMAN ON THE OTHER LINE WOULD NOT HELP ME. SHE WOULD NOT PUT ME THROUGH TO ANYONE WHO COULD. SHE HUNG UP ON ME ONCE AND PUT ME THROUGH TO A STRANGE VOICEMAIL ANOTHER TIME. SHE BASICALLY TOLD ME I COULD TAKE OR LEAVE THE 40% AND THEY WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO DO ANYMORE. I TOOK MY CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE IN MURFREESBORO, TN. THEY CALLED CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND GOT THE SAME REACTION. IT'S GOING ON 3 DAYS NOW, AND PIRELLI HAS NOT FAXED OVER THE 40% DISCOUNT AS PROMISED OR ATTEMPTED TO HELP ME IN THIS SITUATION AT ALL. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND ASKED THE WOMAN ANSWERING THE PHONE FOR ANOTHER NUMBER WHERE I MIGHT GET SOMEONE'S ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. SHE WOULD NOT HEAR MY COMPLAINT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750 LI. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWERED TO THE POINT WHERE THE FRAME WAS SITTING ON THE REAR WHEELS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OVER A BUMP, THE SUSPENSION CAUSED DAMAGE TO SEVERAL COMPONENTS. THE CONTACT STATED THE SHOCK ABSORBER MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO A LOOSE BUSHING. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING A NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER 06V277000 (SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER) WHO STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
