bmw 750li 2007 Complaints

WHEELS:RIM

2007 bmw 750li my wife use this car for routing and normal drive to school and home, never drive to mountain and rockroad. more than 6 month only 5000 miles, then tire wheel crack. because a crack caused the flat, tire that is very dangerous. thank god she didn't drive on highway, so nobody got injury. right now i doubt the tire wheel quality, how come only 5000 miles the tire wheel will crack. that is defect. the tire wheel suppose to last for 10 or 50 thousand miles include impact and speed test. why it is so weak? bmw even don't offer information on manual book, they said only on website have these tire wheel info. and also said this tire wheel is very easy broken. but crack is not under warranty. how come they didn't offer this info before we sign contract? how come they treat customer life like joke? they even said if flat tire you still can run 10 miles without lose control. but if lose control, can they take responsibility? i can offer my crack tire wheel and tire to check, if necessary. *jb

ENGINE

while driving at 25-30mph, the vehicle stalled losing all power including the power steering and having to coast into the breakdown lane. this is the second time in 3 months. after sitting for 15 minutes and 5-10 "no starts", the vehicle finally started and drove normally. the dealership is unable to replicate the event. there is a current power supply recall on several bmw models demonstrating the same symptoms. bmw states that the power supply on the 750li is different from those vehicles under the recall. this model should also be included as i have read several similar complaints on the bmw forums. this is a very dangerous safety hazard in which many bmw 7 series owners are experiencing.

as my wife and son were driving the passenger door just unlatched from latch and would not latch back, after some research ,i found that there was a recall for the door latch issue on bmw 750 models built from 08/04 to 09/07 notice was 12v504 with that info in hand i called reeves bmw in tampa fla only to be told it was not a open campaign based on my vin even though my vehicle was built 01/07 and has both cas and soft close doors just as recall notice noted, nothing in the may 2013 technical service bulletin states anything about certain vin's just the production date's, this is a issue that should be addressed by this agency with more vigor because it is more than a inconvenience but a [xxx] safety issue. which is going to cause someone to lose there life. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
