My 2012 X5 shut off on the highway!
Unexpectedly, my X5 shut off today while on the highway.
Luckily there was heavy traffic so I was not going fast (stop and go). I was in shock because as I tried to accelerate, I noticed I wasn't going anywhere when I tried to push the gas. I couldn't even steer it off the road to the shoulder because the steering wheel was locked and the brake was stiff! When I realized that the engine had shut off, I put my foot on the stiff brake and pushed the start button and it started again like nothing happened. I had to have it towed to the BMW dealer where they are looking at it now! Not a pleasant experience to be in, but I guess things could have been a lot worse! Just waiting for them to tell me "nothing is wrong"! Kind of scared to drive my kids in it now! |

Got my 2012 X5 back from the dealer after is shut off while driving it on the highway yesterday. Told them that I wasn't going to accept that nothing was wrong with it and didn't want to drive it until they found out what was wrong.
After a day in the shop, I received a message from the dealer telling me that they found out what the problem was. They said it was a "software error in the DME as per PUMA Measure" which was found as being 51033547. Glad that they found what the issue was! |
