The 2008 - 2014 BMW X5 engine troubles are the same issues my 2007 engine are having, yet there is not a recall for the 2007. There should be since I am experiencing the same type of issues.
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.

The auto is unsafe to drive the steering sensor keeps malfunctioning and puts car in limp mode. Happened 7 times in one day, car in limp mode does not have enough power to get out of traffic. Making a left turn in heavy traffic it malfunctioned and traffic behind me came extremely close to collision because car lost 99% of power. Car has active recalls very old now BMW says tey have no parts to repair. This car has 37,186 miles on it, making the operating cost over $2 a mile not including gasoline or maintainence. To reset malfuntioning sensor the battery is disconected to reboot the engine controlls reconected restart then turn hard left and then hard right, normal driving is resumed on this unit it only works untill you slow for traffic or to make a turn making the car and traffic around it extemely unsafe as the auto has sudden power loss. The recalls on auto are old and again BMW say no replacement parts. Phone messages to servicing dealer are unanswered and where I live ther is no dealer. My own search on the internet revealed all 5 series BMW have complaints of this malfunction. I am a cancer patient and using this vehicle to travel to treatments is going to kill me before the cancer. And maybe other innocent people too. I feel that BMW looking in to it is not enough action ntsb should take immediate action and BMW should be made liable for all repairs and responcible for the transportation of affected autos to a repair center as the autos are in fact unsafe to operate.
My wife drives the vehicle along with my 2 year old daughter in the back sometimes. The dealership says they don't have the parts available. Every morning, it takes 10 to 15 mins to start the car. The last week or so, the car doesn't start at all causing chaos for us to go to work. Last week my wife was backup and the car stalled. I am concerned with this as my wife and daughter are in the car the most. This could become a serious issue.
This is involving the recall issued for my vehicle involving the in tank fuel pump...BMW still has not fixed this issue, I have called our local dealer in cicero, New York and was told the parts are still not available. The recall was issued over 6 mos ago and my vehicle's inspection was due in March and they will not pass it because the emissions issue causes the check engine light to be on. So I keep getting tickets because I am an attorney and need my car to drive all over for work. Its ridiculous that this issue has not been repaired in over 6 mos and I keep getting the same excuse from the dealer. Also, the airbag recalls have not been addressed either presenting another danger if I am in an accident.
