2007 BMW X3

Had it in bmw dealership for recall to be fixed, that caused my engine light to come on. My engine light was still in when I went back to get it. They said au had to pay $100.00 to have the engine light off. I said I'm not paying if it's a recall. They refused to do anything else. I took it home and put my code reader on it and it was showing code for the part that Was not changed under recall. I have been calling them since and they have not called me back.

The contact owns a 2007 BMW X3. The contact stated that on various occasions when starting the vehicle, there was smoke coming from underneath the hood. The contact also stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the failure recurred, and the vehicle was stalling. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V119000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced, and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer; however, the contact was informed that the recall remedy would not be completed due to the failures and was advised to file a complaint with the NHTSA hotline. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Vehicle breaking down/stalling out due to overheating with no visible defects that would cause a vehicle to overheat. Vehicle is maintained regularly and very well taken care of but persists having overheating issues and smells of burning plastic or burning electrical smell with no visible cause. The most recent incident that occurred on 9/12/22 happened while I was making a very routine drive on the freeway going approx. 70mph mid morning so slight traffic and within 2 second the vehicles temperature gauge went from smack in the middle where it sits usually to maxed out in the red! Vehicle starts very loudly beep beep beeping and then just loses power MID FREEWAY which of course means zero power steering to assist in coasting to the nearest exit while hoping not to get run over by hurried angry morning Phoenix drivers. I made it just off the off ramp and was able to make a right turn onto the street before I had to just turn on my hazards and exit the vehicle for my own safety, but mind you this is after a few failed attempts to get the car started again. Now my vehicle sits smack in the middle of a busy road taking up a whole lane while I sit there waiting for it to "cool" down in 100°F + weather and look under the hood for possible leaks or cause. After 20 minutes or so the police show up which is just the icing on the cake but just before I about blew a gasket mentally (LOL PUN) the officers approached me very friendly and concerned my my safety and the safety of my vehicle and offered to push me up the hill into the nearest station to avoid a possible collision which is where I let the vehicle sit a few hours, went back, turned her over and drove away like nothing over happened......uhh what?!?

I have contacted NHTSA and BMW several times. I want this in writing in the case myself or my children are injuried when in this vehicle. My bmw x3 is my only form of transportation the engine light is on and it has started to smoke twice when engine is off. I just purchased the car second week of March 2022. It is hard for the car to accelerate and once the car is stopped at light or stop sign, the car does not have enough power to drive away or pull off. The car RPM goes very high and then low. This issue is unsafe and unfair that a customer can not drive their vehicle to work and appointments for my son with autism as well as my other 3 children. The burden is on BMW and NHTSA to remedy this issue. I will be contacting my local congress person to address this issue is well.

I just purchased a bmw x3 2007 the 2nd week of March 2022. Immediately, after driving home and parking the car. I turned the car off and the car began to make a loud noise and the engine start smoking very bad. I contacted bmw via email, and was told that there is not a remedy to the recalls effecting my car. The bmw x3 2007 is my only form of transportation and bmw cannot fix the problem. This car can catch on fire or worse kill me and children in the fire in the car. After research this is an ongoing problem with bmw. Bmw should be liable for any damages caused my this recall. I have car that i cannot drive because it is not safe to drive, by no fault of my own.

After hearing a very loud bang. I noticed a very bad vibration during normal operation of the vehicle. Today I was able to find the problem. The 4 bolts that hold the motor mount bracket to the engine block were sheared off. After just a little research on this issue. It seems this a very common incident on all newer bmw vehicles. In the course of this damage, I now need several thousand dollars worth of repairs that are directly attributed to this bolt failure. The rest of the owners that have experienced this issue have had the same outcome. I am having my vehicle towed to a shop in a few days to get an estimate on the damages. Since this is obviously an ongoing and known issue for BMW vehicles, BMW should issue a recall or a service bulletin that will cover repairs to their vehicles.

WHITE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND STOPPED. AFTER TO THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND STARTED AGAIN THE HEATER WAS NO LONGER WORKING. TOOK IN FOR THE REPAIR, WAS TOLD IT WAS A WATER PUMP. $1600 REPAIR 6 WEEKS AGO.
