2006 BMW 750I Engine Problems

“When I first bought the car I had problems with the air conditioner, since then my car has been in the shop almost monthly for problems with the engine and the transmission and steering. Bmw writes on the yellow sheet that they have you sign with what you tell them but when you go back the invoice that you are given is different that what you signed for. I recently learned that when I noticed that the invoice does not have the information that was written when I was in front of the service advisor. …”

“I took my car to the Bmw dealership in 2012 because I noticed oil in my garage. I was told there was no oil leak and nothing was wrong. I reported in 2013 that the 'add oil' indicator was coming on less than 2,000 miles after an oil change and was told there was nothing found that need servicing. In 2014 I took my car back because my oil indicator stated I needed to add oil and I was told I had an oil gasket issue that would cost $11,000 to correct. I took my car to the dealership 3 times while it was under warranty and was never told of any problem until after the warranty expired. …”

“While driving about 20 miles per hour approaching a stop, the car shifted into neutral and on the dash indicated the gear is now n , then steering wheel locked and I could not turn to pull off the road. This was dangerous as I was in the middle of the road. After turning off the car, turning it back on, the problem disappears. If this fault happens on a highway, it can cause a fatal accident if the steering wheel locks and gear shifts to neutral. From reading Bmw forums, they say possible causes could be the integrated supply module, transmission fault, electrical issue, or the smg sensor. …”

“The transmission drive fault light and engine light are coming on and the car does not want to switch gears. On some occasions park becomes neutral, also it hesitates to start. Sometimes the only gear that will work is reverse. The car was just started, in motion on the street and highway when these problems have occurred.”

The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 80,000.”
