	Description of the Complaint: Contact statd BMW x5 2001 caught on fire on july 21, 2005. The temperature gauge was at hot, the car started to lose power, the tachometer was over 4 and white smoke started to come out of the engine area while he was driving the car on the highway going approx. 30 mph. As the smoke got worse, he pulled off and the smoke became very white and dense and then ignited into a fire. The fire dept. Did come out. The fire did originate from under the hood. Prior to this he had no problems with the car heating up. The car was totaled.     17 Complaint Number:10213628 Incident Date:January 2, 2008 Date Added to File:January 3, 2008 Description of the Complaint: My 2001 BMW x5 has serios issues with its design that BMW corp refuses to acknowledge or fix. 1st there is a faulty design on the pvc causing the valve to freeze and drain the oil into the engine. This almost caused a fire in my car. And cost me about $1200 to fix. 2nd there is a design flaw with the front doors whereby the either freeze shut or refuse to lock in temperatures below 17f. This is a hazard waiting to happen. Please help us ( consumers) since BMW apparently has no interest in adressing these issues.
