2015 BMW X5 Exterior lighting Problems

“I was driving my 2015 X5 (bought it new in march and the car only has 2599 miles right when the malfunction happened on aug 8th 2015) to a local trader joe's after getting off from highway 101 when suddenly everything on the car failed. I was in the middle of a left turn and almost ran into the car next to me which also was turning left when the steering wheel became so stiff that I can hardly turn it. At the same time, the airbag malfunction light is on and the safety belt restraint system failed. The safety belt became so loose that it didn't even hold/restrain me during the turn. …”

“Tail lights do not light while auto is in drive on city street or highway and vehicle is in motion. This makes the car difficult to see at night from the rear. Headlights, backup lights, and break lights work correctly. There is no computer notification or other indicator inside the vehicle to indicate that the tail lights have failed.”

“The contact owns a 2015 BMW X5. The contact stated that after activating the passenger’s side indicator, the exterior turn signal operated as designed; however, the instrument panel light failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.”
