My vehicle caught on fire on 12/05/2020. There were no known recalls. total loss.... stopped on the side of the road, southbound I-95 in brevard county, fl. BMW of north america has indicated that the damage was so severe that they cannot figure out the cause of the fire and will not accept any liability!!
Vehicle ignition turned over and before 30 seconds I noticed smoke in my passenger side mirror. I exited the vehicle and found a small electrical fire behind the passenger side front door handle. The valet lighting was not involved but I believe it was the touch sensor used to lock and unlock the vehicle. It was raining at the time of the event and I was able to smother the fire with a wet towel after shutting down the ignition etc. Melted plastic and rubber was noted.
Window regulator went bad and started hearing sound just like window crack.

While exiting the interstate, I heard a large boom and I noticed flying pieces of glass when I checked the review window. I pulled over, got out of car to look for damage saw none but could hear glass fragments when I began to move again. I was only blocks from my destination and checked the roof to see the broken moon roof. nothing impacted the car so the window broke on its own. I checked with the dealership and was informed that they have no record of spontaneous breakage of the moon roofs but my son remember seeing a new segment on abc regarding this and sent me the link which IS why I am following up with this complaint. I took a picture but don't know how to get it from my phone to this site.
My husband was driving home from work on paper mill road in newark, delaware and heard a "kerthunk" from the engine. He pulled over to the hard shoulder of the road, saw he had not run over anything, and then saw oil gushing onto the road from the motor. A few minutes later, as he was sitting in the stationary car, he saw the hood of the car starting to bubble. He exited the vehicle and the car went up in flames. The fire department came and extinguished the fire -- that process took around 15 minutes. The delaware state patrol (officer ferguson) arrived on the scene and had the car towed. The car had been maintained by the BMW dealer for a "check engine" light 9 days before the fire. BMW USA issued a notice in july 2017 about issues with a thermostat in the X1. The thermostat was the only part replaced by the dealer during service (nb: there had also been a normal oil change maintenance at the end of august by the same dealer.)
Takata recall
Takata recall. I got into an accident with my 2014 BMW X1 in the winter of 2015, just a year after leasing this vehicle. A car hit me so hard from behind, that I hit the car in front of me, totaling my car completely. I was sent to the hospital because my airbags failed to deploy. This has caused me thousands of dollars in medical bill that my health insurance did not cover. If the airbags went off, I may not have hit my head and would have saved me from going to the hospital. This recall could have caused others with a more severe accident possible death. Therefore BMW should not only replace the defected airbags but also compensate everyone who risked their lives driving this machine that could have killed them.
Takata recall - delaer says there are no parts, BMW customer service says there are. Someone IS lying.

Takata recall- I realize that there are millions of cars impacted by the recall of the takata airbags, however, I also am stunned that it has been over a year and the same very dangerous airbags have not yet been replaced in my car by BMW as of this date. Not a comforting feeling!! When I called about it, BMW said that my car IS not on a "high priority" list- please have them tell that to my family if i- my husband, or my children- should die in an accident because of the uncorrected airbag situation! IS there a way that your agency can help require faster replacements? Just wondering.......
Takata recall - the recall happened february 5, 2016. it IS now july 29, 2017. that IS over a year and a half, and I have yet to be notified by the manufacturer, which means I am way down the list to be fixed. I think a year and a half of diving around with unsafe airbags IS enough. another person was killed by exploding airbags just this week, I heard in the news. get mine fixed now!

Takata recall. recall letter sent to me march 2016, & my BMW dealership says parts still not available... That I will be notified by mail when parts are in. Please help.
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
In a letter dated September 26, 2013, BMW Group submitted a safety recall notice to NHTSA identifying a defect condition in the vacuum pump oil supply that may result in loss of power assist braking in 76,191 model year (MY) 2012 through 2014 BMW 3-Series, 5-Series, X1 SAV, X3 SAV, and Z4 vehicles equipped with 4-cylinder engines (NHTSA Recall 13V-454).According to BMW, movement of the seal disk within the camshaft may result in blocking of the oil supply to the vacuum pump, resulting in improper pump operation and loss of power assist braking.On July 11, 2013, BMW initiated a change to the camshaft geometry that prevented the seal disk from blocking the oil port.BMW has not received any braking complaints related to loss of power assist after the design change was implemented in production.The owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to a BMW dealer who will install a locking ring into the camshaft to keep the seal disk in its proper location.BMW expects to begin dealer and owner notification in November 2013 and complete dealer and owner notification in December when the remedy is expected to be available.Based on the actions taken by BMW, this investigation is closed.
