BMW of North America, LLC. (BMW) is recalling certain 2023-2024 X1, X5, X6, X7, XM, 530i, i5, 740i, 760i, i7, and 750e vehicles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models and model years. The integrated brake (IB) system may malfunction and result in a loss of power brake assist or cause the Antilock Brake (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) systems to not function properly.

POWER TRAIN

I am reaching out regarding a serious issue with my 2016 BMW X6 M, which suffered a driveshaft failure. I understand that certain BMW models were recalled for similar issues, but my vehicle was not included. Given the severity of the damage and the number of similar complaints online, I believe this issue warrants further review. Recently, while driving on the freeway, my vehicle experienced a sudden failure, requiring it to be towed to a repair shop. There were no warnings or indications that anything was wrong. Upon inspection, the mechanics determined that the driveshaft had come loose, causing extensive damage to the undercarriage and transmission. Due to the severity of the issue, which literally renders my car as a complete loss due to a repair bill over $35,000. I am reaching out to you for assistance. I also contacted BMW's customer relations line which followed a standard script indicating that there were no recalls and no acceptance of any responsibility.

The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transfer case and drive shaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

While driving to the store my husband notice the vehicle began to over heat. After only driving less than 2 miles the vehicle was parked at my home, it suddenly burst into flames from the engine an hour later. Gratefully, no one was in the vehicle during the incident. We are a family of 5 so that would have been a disgrace. The vehicle was inspected by BMW who claim they can not find cause and deny responsibility. It is unfortunate, our insurance canceled for non-payment a short time before this. Therefore, we have no resource to make us whole again. The vehicle is being temporarily held at BMW of Coconut Creek as this is where it was purchased. Meanwhile, my husband continues to make payments to BMW Finance to protect his credit. Research has shown over hundreds of thousands of like make and models BMW x 6 have been recalled for the same incident from 2012 - 2018 and I can' t help but believe the 2019 should be placed on recall as well before someone is hurt. I can use any advise and guidance on my situation. As I am seeking legal counsel f or the damages.
