WATER LEAKING IN FRONT RIGHT FLOOR BOARD CAUSE SHORT IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ALSO LEAKING IN REAR AT BATTERY AREA. DEALER HAS ADVISED THIS ALSO CAUSED THE SHORT IN THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. IF BMW HAS BEEN SUED BECAUSE OF SUN ROOFS LEAKING BEFORE. MY CAR DIED IN A RAIN STORM AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CAUSING GREAT DANGER TO THE PASSENGERS. BMW SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. AND STOP ACTING LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE.

AS I AM INTERRING AN INTERSECTION THE SUV WOULDN'T REALLY MOVED, I GAVE IT A LITTLE GAS IT BEGAN TO MOVE AND SUDDENLY IT JUST ACCELERATED BY IT SELF AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL, IT STILL DOES IT AFTER A COMPLETE STOP EVERY TIME IS DRIVEN. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THERE FOR I'M NOT USING THE SUV. I'M REALLY SCARED OF DRIVING IT, CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT ACCELERATES IT'S SELF REALLY BAD.

THE VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO FAULTY VALVES AND SEALS, THE BUILDUP CAUSES SMOKE TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE HOOD, AND ENTERS THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, THUS CAUSES DIZZINESS, AND A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. BMW NEEDS TO FIX THE ISSUE AS THEY ARE AWARE OF IT, AS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 4.8!
