2013 BMW X6

While driving on the highway, the warning “engine power reduced” came on and the car just started slowing to a complete stop. Smoke started coming from the engine and the rear, then came to a complete stop and has not started again. Was towed from the highway to a safe location and I was told by mechanic that it was leaking all engine oil and power steering fluid

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, I SHIFTED INTO MANUAL MODE, DOWNSHIFTING I ORDER TO EVADE AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER. I THEN SHIFTED BACK TO AUTOMATIC, AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH, AT WHICH POINT THE ENGINE CUT OUT , THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STEERING WAS NON POWERED. THE CAR ALSO SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. I RECEIVED AN ERROR ABOUT STABILITY AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CAR DID THIS 3 TIMES BEFORE I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND WAS ABLE TO ALLOW IT TO SIT. IT WASN'T UNTIL LATER THAT EVENING THAT IT WAS ABLE TO BE STARTED AND DRIVE SUCCESSFULLY HOME.

BMW DEALERSHIP IN GEORGIA, TBILISI IS LIAR. I VISITED THEM FOR CUSTOMER CAR PACKAGE. UNDER THIS CCP MUST BE REPLACED SOME PARTS WITHOUT CHECKING AND SOME OF THEM AFTER CHECKING. THAT DEALERSHIP CHAMGED ME ONLY AIR MASS SENSORS WHEN BMW AG STATES THAT VENT PIPE BANK 1 AND 2, CONNECTING LINE BANK 1 AND 2, AOR MASS SENSORS, INTAKE AIR DUCT MUST BE REPLACED ON EVERY N63S. INJECTORS, VACUUM PUMP, CHAIN AND SOME ORHER PARTS MUST BE REPLACED AFTER CHECKING IF THEY ARE FAULTY. THAT DEALERSHIP LIED ME THAT THEY RECEIVED NEW DOCUMENTATIONS FROM BMW AND ONLY AIR MASS SENNSORS MUST BE CHANGED. THEY ARE LIARS. MY CAR IS UNDER BURNING RISK BECAUSE THEY CHANGED ONLY AIR MASS SENSORS AND DID NOT PERFORMED THE CCP PROPERLY. THEY DID NOT CHECK MY TIMING CHAIN TOO. MY CONTACT NUMBER +995 591227222

VEHICLE DEMONSTRATES TURBO LAG. IN THE STATIONARY POSITION WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE PAUSES FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT THE RPM RISES THAN THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE FORWARD. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AS ONE TRIES TO ENTER HEAVY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE FORWARD AS THE TURBO DECIDES TO KICK IN. BECAUSE OF THE LAG, I'VE PLACED MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF INJURY AS I ATTEMPT TO ENTER TRAFFIC. WHEN YOU SEE AN OPENING TO ENTER TRAFFIC, THAT OPENING IS GONE AS THE LAG PREVENTS THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD AT THE TIME REQUIRED TO ENTER TRAFFIC SAFELY. INSTEAD YOUR PROPELLED INTO TRAFFIC, CUTTING OFF OTHER DRIVERS THAT HAVE TO BREAK TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

WATER PUMP ISSUES, DEALER SUPPOSENLY FIXED MONTHS AGO. CAR IS LIKE NEW WITH 40K + MILES AND ALREADY WATER PUMP REPLACED. THEN NOTICED SMOKE & BURNING SMELL LIKE POSSIBLE FIRE FROM ENGINE AREA A WEEK AGO WHILE CAR IN IDLE, I THEN TOOK IT TO DEALER NEXT DAY AND SOMETHING WASNT REPLACED BY DEALER DURING WATER PUMP EXCHANGE/REPLACEMENT. I THINK IS A LIE, I CERTAINLY THINK VEHICHLE HAVE THAT STEERING ISSUE. ALSO PASSENGER DOOR FROM INSIDE DIDNT OPEN ANYMORE WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. BUT CAR LIKE I SAID IS LIKE NEW TO ME FOR IT TO BE 3 YEARS OLD WITH 40K MILES. JUST MAJOR FAULTS FOR SUCH AGE OF CAR. BAD BMW MAKER FOR PRICEY CAR AND SO MANY ENGINE / ELECTRICAL ISSUE ISSUES. I SEE WHY NOT MANY ON US ROADS. 12/2015 SOMETHING IN WATER PUMP AREA REPLACED AGIAN, DRIVER PASSENGER DOOR FROM INSIDE DIDNT OPEN ANYMORE, FRONT CAMERAS DIDNT OPERATE ANYMORE/CORRODED SUPPOSENLY, COOLANT WAS GONE (BUT WATER PUMP REPLACED 2014) SO EITHER LEAK OR DEALER WAS CHEAP PUTTING BACK IN, NOW SINCE ALL THESE REPAIRS CAR DRIVES ROUGH. AND YES ALL WAS DONE ON 1 VISIT AT DEALER. AND I FORGOT TO MENTION TO THEM MY SEATBELT LOCKS ON ME SO I DRIVE WITH IT CLAMP ALREADY AND JUST DUCK UNDERNEATH STRAP WHEN READY TO DRIVE. WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN (STATE POLICE WITNESS TO THAT)
