[Updated 9/6] Yet another fun issue from today, (+more issues)
so I'm convinced my car wants to kill me. I was driving with a normal amount of pedal pressure when I felt a pop. well, my gas pedal detached itself from the floor somehow and was dangling there. Seriously what's going on with these issues? I secured it back but it's still not really 100% how it should be. I took a video and some pics for you guys as seen below.
New issue as of 8/23: Chassis malfunction [8/26 Update] [8/28 Update] [8/29 Update] Update Post, more info here Part 2 [8/29] Update Part 2A Update Part 2B Update 9/2: Here is the final service ticket with repairs noted

On a positive note, this is a safety critical function of the vehicle, so perhaps this will provide you with a little leverage to get the other issues looked at yet again...

Holy shit, this is an awfully unsafe manufacturing fuckup. I'm really sorry to see this (along with your other tribulations), but very happy this didn't result in anybody being seriously injured.
Do we now have to add "check if the gas pedal is securely attached" to the pre-delivery checklist?

You need to get rid of this lemon, that is extremely dangerous. I would be livid.
In response to your RS6 comment, I am already in contact with my Audi dealer regarding getting on the waiting list for one, still not sure that it is better than the E63S, so waiting on pricing.

Unfortunately, it appears best that you immediately ditch this vehicle. Clearly BMW NA has written you off... either you lawyer up or take the hit on trade. You only have two options as publicly complaining is not going to rectify the matter with BMW North America. In fact you are doing more damage than good and it appears they have made that very clear. If you had ordered/purchased this vehicle from a local dealer you might have had a far more significant chance of a buyback, but given that you purchased the vehicle from a dealer in Maryland and you reside in Texas I feel you are shit out of luck. *Note, if you had purchased from the dealer in Maryland and then taken Performance Center Delivery then more than likely it would have played out vastly differently than you doing a ‘courtesy delivery’ via the non-selling dealer in Texas.

Have you looked into the BBB Autoline program? I used it once on my new 2001 Pathfinder that was in the shop for three months. The dealer and Nissan were unable to fix the car and were blowing me off until I initiated a complaint through the Autoline program. Within days, Nissan North America flew in a specialist who fixed my car in about 5 minutes. Nissan also offered me compensation for the issue and time spent in the shop. Might be a quicker and cheaper (it was free when I used it) option than a lawyer.

AndroidRobot, I’m sorry to hear about all of the problems you are having with your X5.
That being said, if your goal is to teach BMW a lesson, you may be disappointed in the end. IMO, you should do the best you can to make yourself whole and move on to another vehicle. Just my two cents. Last edited by AEC; 08-21-2019 at 08:39 AM.. |

I agree but wasn't going to comment on the statement hence why I ignored it mostly.

so my gas pedal detatchaed again today, I'm pretty sure it's just entirely broken, I'm going to see if they can do something so it's not unsafe for the interim

I'm starting to think your car doesn't like you very much.... and was built on Friday right before the super bowl weekend or holiday and not one person actually did what they were supposed too.
Joking aside totally sucks to see all this to one X5. I hammer my pedal from time to time and now will always think did I push it off the bolt....
