The entire cooling system failed and RED WARNING light appeared leading to $6400 quote for repairs from BMW Seattle. BMW refused to do anything to make this right. They already know the thermostat is defective, so is the aux water pump, and the main water pump fails at only 60,000 miles. We could have been stranded on the side of the highway and these excessive repairs should all be covered under manufacturer extended warranty. We spoke to attorneys in Connecticut who will build a class action in this case. BMW wouldn't even meet us half way on repair costs and we were without our vehicle for months. It was an independent shop that finally told us the truth that the AUX Water Pumps are well known for failing on this vehicle causing extensive cooling system and engine repairs.

The X3 suddenly slowed down to stoppage on an interstate highway, and the car "shifted" to Neutral by itself. I had to shift back to "Drive" and then drive away. It happened twice in September to October 2023, with my family and other kids in the car. Luckily there was traffic, driving speed was relatively low. Contacted two BMW dealerships and the only thing they could do was change the battery. They said maybe the battery wasn't functioning fully. However, BMW shouldn't stop my car on a highway just because the battery may be relatively low. No warning about battery was ever observed. Four pictures attached: Error Message 1 - Increased Steering Effort on 10.13.23 Error Message 2 - Transmission (suddenly "auto-shifted" to Neutral) Error Message 3 - Four-wheel-drive system Error Message 4 - Front monitor suddenly turned on?

The dealership and the repair shop and mechanics I-??ve called have told me that this is a common issue with Bmw because of how it's made. If I knew that there was a problem because of the sensors I would-??ve never had to break down on the side of the road and be less stranded without a vehicle.
