• Recall R/2016/300 [UK]: Power steering may not perform correctly
  The electrical contact of the electronic control unit (ecu) of the electric power steering (eps) is not sufficiently robust over the service life of the vehicle. As a result the power steering support may fail possibly leading to disconcerting driving situation for the driver. Additionally in a few cases a localised thermal event cannot be excluded.
  recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering gear (eps).

• Recall 2020008 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. This recall provides a final repair. Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the driver-front airbag inflator. The driver-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2019018 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: on certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.

• Recall 2017113 [Canada]: Powertrain
  Certain vehicles may have been manufactured with defective front driveshaft universal joint seals, which could allow water and/or dirt to enter the universal joint, causing accelerated wear and/or corrosion, and resulting in vibration. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this state, the universal joint could eventually break, potentially damaging surrounding components and rendering the vehicle inoperative. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction : dealers will replace the front drive shaft. Note: this is an expansion of recall 2016-226.

• Recall 2016142 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the front driver air bag inflator or air bag module, depending on the vehicle model.

• Recall 2012178 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, the steering gear was manufactured incorrectly and, as a result, a steering fluid leak could develop. Loss of power steering fluid could cause a loss of steering power assist, which may result in a crash. Also, power steering fluid leakage may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, which could cause a fire. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering gear assembly.

Issues: both front thrust arm bushings worn, oil leaking from vehicle, replacement of microfilter needed, brake fluid flush service and sunroof not initialized. Comments: i took the vehicle in to be serviced as i was getting a driver stability malfunction error and when driving over potholes or any uneven street/highway, wheel would jerk extremely hard causing me to enter other lanes. Vehicle was pulling hard and i heard noise every time i drove over uneven roads. I was also getting an anti-trap malfunction for sunroof error message. Issues: vehicle sputtered, shut off in the middle of an intersection and would not start, vehicle still pulling and needed to replace the two front tires. Comments: due to the vehicle malfunctioning, sputtering and not starting, i was stalled in the middle of an intersection and could have been injured in an accident.

Takata recall

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.
