2010 BMW 750LI

I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2010 BMW 750LI BACK IN NOVEMBER 2012. AS SOON AS I DROVE IT OFF THE BEVERLY HILLS BMW LOT, I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GO OFF. BEVERLY HILLS WROTE IT OFF AS IT WAS THE GAS SENSOR BEING SENSITIVE. FOUND OUT LATER IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS THAT WENT BAD ON A CAR WITH 23,000 MILES ON. FAST FORWARD 2 YEARS LATER AND 30,000 MILES, WITH MULTIPLE STOPS AT STERLING BMW AND MY COMPLAINTS OF HAVING TO PUT QUART OF OIL INTO THE ENGINE EVERY 2000 MILES. FOR 2 YEARS, STERLING ADVISED ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF ENGINE TO CONSUME THAT MUCH OIL AND FOR ALL THE OTHER ENGINE PROBLEMS. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR OVER 6 TIMES (EVER OTHER MONTH ALMOST) TO THE DEALER TO FIX NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE (NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR). THEN COMES THE "RECALL" BMW CALLS THE "COMFORT CARE PACKAGE" AND WAS PROMISED IT WOULD RESOLVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH BETTER PERFORMANCE IN JANUARY 2015. AFTER THE RECALL, MY ENGINE REQUIRED OIL EVERY 500 MILES AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO BMW IN APRIL 2015, THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS A HOSE LEAK AND OIL WAS DRIPPING DOWN TO EXHAUST CAUSING EXCESS SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. NOW BMW OF NORTHERN AMERICA TELLS ME THEY DON'T COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS OUR OF WARRANTY DESPITE MY COMPLAINTS (WHICH HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY STERLING FOR 2 YEARS). THE COMFORT CARE PACKAGE MADE MY OIL LEAK WORST AND INTO THE EXHAUST AND BMW REFUSES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM OR EVEN REMOVE THEIR COMFORT CARE PACKAGE. IT'S BEEN MORE THEN 2 YEARS SINCE I AND MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAVE BEEN BREATHING IN THIS EXCESS SMOKE FROM MY EXHAUST WHICH BMW REFUSES TO REPAIR. THIS ENGINE IS A COMPLETE LEMON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. A "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH INDICATING THAT I HAD REDUCED POWER. MY SPEED WAS QUICKLY REDUCED AND I HAD TO CRUISE TO THE RIGHT LANE. UNFORTUNATELY THE PORTION OF THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY THAT I WAS ON DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE GUARD RAIL WAS BROKEN AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE CAR BETWEEN THE OPENING BETWEEN THE BROKEN GUARD RAILS. I WAS NOT INJURED OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE GUARD RAIL. AFTER TOWING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN "EQUIPMENT UPDATE/CUSTOMER CONVIENCE UPGRADE" FOR THE CAR THAT WOULD REPLACE THE FAILED FUEL INJECTORS FREE OF CHARGE. I FEEL THAT THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING DISGUISED AS AN EQUIPMENT UPGRADE. LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS. BMW SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE INJECTORS FAIL TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. OR WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FATALITIES TO CALL THIS WHAT IT IS .. A SAFETY HAZARD!! AS I CHECKED ONLINE FORUMS, MANY BMW OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. BMW IS ALSO TELLING ME THAT THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLEY AND SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHUT DOWN/AND OR REDUCTION OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. *JS

THE ENGINE IN THIS CAR (N63) HAS MAJOR FLAWS. AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING THIS ENGINE CAN STALL OR REDUCE POWER. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAINS, FUEL INJECTORS, VANOS SYSTEM AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ENGINE PARTS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE A TOTAL OF 57 DAYS SINCE APRIL 2014 FOR ENGINE FAILURE. THIS CAR WHEN FAILS WILL REDUCE POWER OR SHUT DOWN AND YOU HAVE NO POWER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. BMW FAILS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. BMW IS CURRENTLY REPLACING SOME OF THE PARTS THAT THEY THINK MIGHT HAVE SOME EFFECT BUT NOT ALL DEALERS ARE ASSISTING CONSUMERS AND BMW WILL NOT RECALL THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS N63 ENGINE IS USED IN ALL BMW VEHICLES FITTED WITH A V8. *TR

AT 57,000 MILES, MY 2010 BMW 750LI NEEDED 6 OUT OF 8 FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. THE FUEL INJECTORS FOR THE N63 ENGINE PLATFORM HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO A HIGH RATE OF PART FAILURE. THE PARTS WERE POORLY DESIGNED, AND ARE FAILING PREMATURELY ON VEHICLES. BMW REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS AND SHOULD PROPERLY ISSUE A RECALL. *JS

I WAS DRIVING A BMW 750LI 2010 ON THE FREEWAY 70MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OFF. I STEERED THE CAR QUICKLY TO THE SHOULDER. I ONLY HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO PULL MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALL SYSTEMS WERE NON RESPONSIVE . I WAS UNABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL FOR THE TOW TRUCK. I WAS UNABLE TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE VIA THE VEHICLES CALL SYSTEM. I WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THAT ALL THE SYSTEMS ACTIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT WERE USELESS SINCE I HAD NO POWER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKING AROUND AND ENGINE STOPPED. WHEN TRIED TO RUN THE ENGINE IT WAS SHAKING TREMENDOUSLY AND ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. SO I TOWED IT TO THE DEALER NEXT MORNING FOR REPAIR. AFTER REPAIR WAS DONE WHICH TOOK A WEEK I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES AND THEN WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE IT WAS SHAKING ALOT AGAIN EVERY TIME I WAS APPLYING BRAKE. I FOR SOMEHOW AVOIDING ALL STOP SIGN BY DRIVING CAREFULLY, TOOK THE CAR HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NEXT MORNING AT WHICH TIME IT WAS SHAKING TREMENDOUSLY OR SOMETIME MOVING FORWARD FAST(JERKING MOVE) WHEN I APPLIED BRAKE OR STEP ON GAS PEDAL. *TR

I HAVE A BMW, 7 SERIES 2010 WITH OEM RUN FLAT TIRES. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE LEASE TWO OF THE RUN FLAT'S DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND GAVE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE WERE SIMPLY DUE TO THE CONDITIONS IN MANHATTAN THAT THIS HAPPENED. NOW I NOTICE ANOTHER CLEAR BUBBLE FORMING ON THE SIDE OF THE THIRD TIRE AND MY TOTAL MILEAGE SO FAR IS BELOW 11,000. THIS SITUATION IS ECHOED BY 100'S OF BMW CUSTOMERS ONLINE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. BMW DOES NOT WANT YOU TO CHANGE TO NON-RUN FLAT TIRES, CITING THAT THIS WOULD BE AGAINST THE LEASE TERMS AND YET CONTINUES TO CHARGE $600 FOR EVER TIRE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS NOW JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN FREQUENT. I FEEL THAT BMW IS DOING THIS KNOWINGLY AND THIS IS A BIG SCAM. OVERALL, DESPITE THEIR SAFETY I FEEL THAT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE WELL KNOWN TO BE JUDGING BY 100'S OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ONLINE BUT BMW CHOOSES TO REMAIN QUIET ABOUT IT. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOUR DEPARTMENT WAS TO TAKE NOTE OF THIS ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
