that's funny... i had an 08 X5 3.0 for a few years before trading her for a newer model...



never had a real problem with her and i was heavy footed and put in a ton of miles in such a short time..



the only problem was with the NAV dvd unit which stuck a few times and was replaced under warranty with no questions asked...



my neighbor has an 06 Nissan Maxima and has had nothing but problems with it since getting it new... turns out there is a known tranny issue with that particular year model. Not sure if he's taking it to court but it now sits in the lot unused because it is too expensive to repair...



my friend's 2010 Acura MDX has lot's of NAV issues as well... said the thing wouldn't stay focussed and would drift across the highway or off road while enroute to its destination... weird...



he calibrated it a number of times but was never able to fix it... Dealer also couldn't replicate the problem so they ignored it as well..



no one is immune... as someone said earlier, the more technologically advanced the car is the more likely it is to have technical issues...



as long as it is covered under warranty i'm fine with it... when it expires and i can't get coverage elswhere then i will consider trading up again...



life goes on....
