This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
2008 BMW X5 has a faulty fuel injector pump and battery. The consumer stated the vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of the highway. The consumer stated the vehicle stopped again in the middle of the highway after the fuel pump was supposedly replaced. The consumer was told again the fuel pump was faulty. The sunroof was inoperative and the camera used that gives guidance when backing out of spaces was inoperative as well.
There is a significant problem with the engine/transmissions on the BMW X3 model. I have had a 2007 and now a 2008, the 2007 bought back by BMW due to major issues. The problem is that the transmission is not reactive, and causes major hesitation, delayed shifting, and awkward responses from the throttle which is a serious issue when merging or passing etc. The car does not get up to speed, and at times literally "chokes" which can cause an accident as someone behind you can just begin to accelerate and plow right into you. BMW has no fixes for this issue at the moment; others per a BMW forum have also let your office know about this problem. BMW basically does not consider it a safety issues, but it definitely is. This occurs all the time, and the manufacturer says there are no engine software updates (last one did nothing) to rectify the issues. This is an inherent defect in the vehicle and it is dangerous. This system does not let you select an X3 model. It is a BMW X3.
