The car just stopped in the middle of the road and wouldn’t restart. The starter is fried. I didn’t know about the starter recall
On August 1st 2024, NHTSA initiated campaign number 24V576000, BMW "Starter Motor May Fail and Overheat". On 10/3 I went into BMW of Bloomfield to get an oil change & address the recall. On 11/23, my car would not start in the middle of traffic. Then on 11/25 I brought in my 2020 X7 to ascertain why the car stopped working and have it fixed. I was told by BMW that the same starter motor stopped working. When I received a call stating that the car was fixed, I informed them that this should be covered by BMW as it was a direct result of the recall that should have been addressed back in October. I'm currently waiting for BMW NA to pay for the failed recalled part, case 07650216.
While driving the sunshade for the moonroof opens by itself. I try to close it but it takes about a minute before the button to work and then it does it again. Around 3 times in a row. I did not take it to dealer yet since it is out of warranty. It is very distracting while driving and this happens
The BMW X7 caught on fire going down the HW.
I WAS CALLED BY A BMW REPRESENTATIVE AND TOLD A SAFETY RECALL WAS IN AFFECT AND I WAS NOT TO DRIVE MY BRAND NEW BMW X7 NOT EVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WOULD ARRANGE TO COME GET IT VIA A WRECKER AND WOULD BE KEEPING IT APPROXIMATELY A MONTH. NO ONE WILL DISCLOSE TO ME THE ISSUE OR THE FIX. THEY ARE BEING VERY CLOSED TO ALL MY QUESTIONS. MUST BE SERIOUS AND LAWYERS MUST BE ALREADY INVOLVED. BEST I CAN TELL VIA THE NHTSA WEBSITE, NO NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN MADE TO THE NHTSA AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
