X6 Hybrid shuts off?!!!

Tareq_328xi · 03-07-2013, 10:13 AM

Hi all!

After numerous complains, my cousin has got his X6 V8 replaced with a 2010 X6 Hybrid (NEW) since the V8 had many issues.

However, the Hybrid is currently at the dealership (3 times since he had it 3 months ago), because the car shuts off when he puts the car in PARK mode, and go out to the grocery store or anything like it. He understands that the engine should shut down being it is a Hybrid, but in his case the whole car, including the air conditioning shuts off, which is frustrating to passengers waiting in the car during the hot afternoon hours.

Attached are pics of the warning messages he gets.

Anyone faced this issue before? Is it common?

It's going to be hard to get an answer since the X6 is a rare/niche vehicle and even more so the discontinued hybrid version. This car was one of the first hybrids in production by BMW so you're bound to face weird errors like this. Your best hope is the dealer, extended warranties, and a lot of luck!
