Description of the problem | When we accelerate, the vehicle shudders/hesitates to the point where it feels incredibly unsafe to drive. When we took the x5 to the mechanic, the mechanic said that it was odd that there would be a transfer case problem at such low mileage on the x5, which was at 67000 miles at the time. When i researched online if this was a common problem for our make/model, i learned that there were many other owners who experienced the same kind of problem -- many, in fact, demanded that bmw or the nhtsa recall the vehicle for this problem (http://www. Carproblemzoo. Com/bmw/x5/transfer-case-problems. Php). I, along with other owners for this make/model, believe that this transfer case problem is significant enough to warrant a recall as the vehicle feels very unsafe to drive. |
