Car is jumping forward when im coming to a stop at lights. Almost hit the car in front of me one time. It also shivers when turning slow or backing up and slowly acceleration. I can feel it in the steering so thought it might be a bad tire but realized upon research it could be drive train or power steering. Noticed smoke coming out of the front grill after arriving home from work a week ago. Lifted the hood and looked around. Saw fluid baked onto a nozzle but couldnt read what fluid compartment it was.. just researched issues im having online and saw it is the power steering nozzle, which actually had a recall back the year my car was made for power steering fluid leaking onto the engine and causing fires! scary stuff considering I had smoke coming out of engine grill last week.. my car has been at BMW service dept half of the time ive owned it because I notice it not feeling or driving correct for the engine I have and when I had warranty so many issue's were ignored and made worse by the horrible tech's they have. My turbo's have been leaking for a while causing my car to not perform 100%, they never advised me and always said car drove fine. My coolant was leaking badly and after dropping my car with them, they gave it back stating it was fixed. I drove for almost 2 weeks and realized the tech never put coolant back in and the list goes on..

The contact owns a 2012 BMW X6. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and the "service vehicle immediately" warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump was defective and needed to be replaced. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 70,000.

I was recently on a highway driving and my car suddenly came to a halt, shaking and vibrating whiles other cars were behind me. I almost lost my life in accident with a trailer truck who quickly maneuvered from behind me. I drove the car to a BMW dealership and I was told that the fuel injectors created that problem. The car has less than 90K miles on it and BMW is refusing to accept the fact that this is safety issue which could have ended my life. I am requesting at this point for bwm to open a campaign for these fuel injectors or the government issue a recall on them. I need all of my BMW X6 fuel injectors replaced by BMW. A service advisor told me, it is best to get all the injectors replaced because this is a common problem with the N63 engine and they have been fighting hard for BMW na to issue a recall on them because it is costing them tons of money in civil suits. Again I need this fuel injectors replaced on my car as quickly as possible because I have no means of transportation to school, work or clinical rotation and this is severely affecting my grades. If no action is taken by BMW, I am very prepared to retain an attorney to file a class suit against them with every dime I have.

Engine malfunction. Engine operating at reduced output. Engine has malfunctioned numerous times. Shuts down to reduced output, without warning and without allowance for traffic conditions, only allowing for 4-5 mph travel. Extreme danger! BMW has a "customer care package" that is a recall, although they are not calling it a recall. However, all parts of recall have been replaced on vehicle and now having to drive a vehicle that has not been fixed, that I am afraid to drive in traffic and do not trust to have enough power to merge onto interstate. BMW is simply throwing parts at a serious problem that has the potential to harm thousands of people.
