2007 Bmw 750I: complaints, problems and recalls

HID HEADLIGHTS AND THE AMOUNT OF GLARE PRODUCED NEEDS TO BE REGULATED BY THE GOVERNMENT. I DRIVE A LOT OF NARROW COUNTY 2 LANE RAADS WHERE THERE ARE NO RIGHT SIDE WHITE LINES. I HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES SOMETIMES WHEN CARS WITH THESE NEW HEADLIGHTS APPROACH. I DRIVE WITH REGULAR HEADLIGHTS AT SAFE SPEEDS AT NIGHT AND HAVE NEVER FELT THE NEED FOR THESE FLAMETHROWER LIGHTS. I'M SURE DRIVERS WITH HID'S LOVE THEM BUT THEY ARE JEOPARDIZING THE SAFETY OF THEMSELVES AND ME. BMW LIGHTS SEEM TO BE THE WORST. THE AMERICAN MADE CARS WITH HID'S SEEM T…

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFTED THE VEHICLE IN "PARK" AND SAW THE "P" LIGHT COME ON THE DASH, AND PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE I WAS ONLY RETRIEVING MY MAIL FROM THE MAILBOX, I DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF OR PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON. AS I EXITED THE CAR, AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD EVEN THOUGHT THE "P" WAS LIT ON THE DASH. I IMMEDIATELY GRABBED ONTO THE DOOR AND JUMPED BACK IN THE CAR, AS IT ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND ALL THE WHILE, THE S…

Reported: 2012-10-17 (October 17, 2012)

BMW is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 7-Series vehicles, equipped with the Comfort Access option, and manufactured August 23, 2004, through July 24, 2008. The affected vehicles have an electronic key and an electronic connection between the gear shifter and the transmission (shift-by-wire) that automatically shifts the transmission to Park when the driver presses the Start/Stop button to shutdown the engine. If the driver presses the engine Start/Stop button 2 or 3 times within a short time interval, the system may shift the transmission to Neutral rather than Park. If using the electronic key (Comfort Access mode), there would be no protection from the ignition interlock that prevents key removal if the vehicle is not in Park.

Consequence: If the driver exits the vehicle with the transmission in Neutral and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may rollaway. Unattended rollaway incidents often result in a crash or cause injury to pedestrians attempting to stop or enter the vehicle or to other bystanders in the path of the vehicle.

Remedy: BMW will notify owners beginning in November 2012. The remedy became available in March 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.

BMW is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 7-Series vehicles, equipped with both Comfort Access and Soft Close Automatic options, and manufactured August 23, 2004, through September 3, 2007. Due to a software problem, the doors may appear to be closed and latched, but, in fact, may inadvertently open.

Consequence: The door may unexpectedly open due to road or driving conditions or occupant contact with the door. The sudden opening may result in occupant ejection or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy: BMW will notify owners and dealers will update software. The recall began on December 12, 2012. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.

Reported: 2013-11-12 (November 12, 2013)

BMW of North America LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2006 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi sedans and 325xi sports wagons, model year 2007 328i, 328xi, 335i, 335xi sedans and 328i and 328xi sports wagons, model year 2006-2007 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 550i sedans and 530xi sports wagons, model year 2006 760i sedans, model year 2006-2007 750i, 750Li, and 760Li sedans, and model year 2006 X5 sports activity vehicles, equipped with certain seat types. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat that determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop cracks which could lead to a system failure.

Consequence: Should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Remedy: BMW will notify owners with an interim notification letter in January 2014 since parts are not currently available. When parts are available, BMW sent a second letter in August and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility that it may crack, free of charge. Additionally, owners of model year 2006-2007 3 Series with standard seats, 5 Series with comfort seats, and Z4 models, will receive an extended warranty on their front passenger seat occupant detection mat. Owners may contact BMW customer relations at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.

In these vehicles, the doors may appear to be closed and latched, but, in fact, may inadvertently open.

Consequence: The door may unexpectedly open due to road or driving conditions or occupant contact with the door. The sudden opening may result in occupant ejection or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will update the door latch system, free of charge. The recall began February 8, 2018. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
