Owner Complaints (3)
Your car's suspension and subframe are rusted and deteriorating. Additionally, your electrical system is malfunctioning—your speedometer, ABS warning light, engine light, and transmission light are flickering on and off intermittently, even though mechanics have confirmed there's nothing actually wrong with the engine or transmission itself. The fix will likely involve inspecting and repairing the corroded subframe components and diagnosing the electrical system to find and repair faulty wiring or sensors causing the warning lights.

I OWN A 2002 BMW X5 WITH LESS THAN 37,000 MILES. IN THE LAST 6-8 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM. MORE RECENTLY, I HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE HARNESS REWIRED AND THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. MY BRAKE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY GOING OUT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND SOCKETS NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER X5 DRIVERS WHO HAVE HAD SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS SO I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER IF IT'S A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MY VEHICLE. *TR
