2017 BMW X5 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

First, the airbag and safety restraint system failure occurred on 3 different occasions and I was told it was due to an electrical issue.

They determined my #5-cylinder fuel injector had failed. I stayed the night in dallas and returned to the dealership the next day. After replacing the injector, the car would not idle properly.
