Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
While operating the x7, liquid from a loose lid of a cup was spilled (not in excess of 2oz) onto the console area as it was being placed into temperature controlled cupholders just forward of the gear shifter. This minimal amount of liquid caused the parking mechanism- GWS SHIFTER to short/fry rendering the car unable to shift gears. A message that the "P Button Not Working" and instruction to "hold the start/stop button down for 3 seconds" to make the car go into park was given. The Park button, shifter and start/stop buttons are located in the console behind the cup holders. This is a GREAT danger because this complete system failure can happen with MINIMAL liquid contact from incidental spills and the car becomes immovable. My car had to be towed to the dealer to have the GWS Shifter REPLACED and reprogramed and was VERY costly, and NOT covered by BMW warranty. BMW North America is aware of liquid in the cup holder area causing issues to the mechanical systems as a class action lawsuit was just unveiled due to liquid causing air bag problems. The airbag and gas shifter are housed in the same location. Please investigate this as this is a family vehicle (for us) and the provided cup holders are very likely to be used. This failure can cause a person and/or family to be in great danger if they suddenly cannot control their car.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The SOS malfunctions by disabling the center display panel. The satellite radio and navigation don’t work. An error message populates the main dash display and cannot be reset by driver. The SOS device box is located in the rear overhead panel where it’s very difficult to access. The dealer replaced the SOS box and Li battery. After 3 weeks, the SOS malfunctions again where it randomly calls the BMW roadside assistance every few minutes. During this time, the center display screen functions are gone and replaced by a calling SOS message and all functions are inoperable. This time dealer says the rear antennae fins has water intrusion which corroded the “electrical fins.” They replaced this part. Bottom line: the most important part of the vehicle should be the most reliable part. This device should never break and water definitely should not enter the rear antenna and corrode the electrical contacts. A major safety risk and Very poor design in my opinion. Thank you for investigating this problem.
