quick list of things to watch on your 01...

Window regulators (all can and will go any where any time, they are proceeded by a poping sound and then the window drops)...

Axle dust cover boots (there are 8, four inner and four outer they tear and if not repaired lead to boku $$$ in repairs)...

Rear hatch latch (original OEm design is weak and they short once water creeps in) main symptom..rear hatch starts to pop on its own...

Cam sensors...(there are two of them the won't cause a check engine light, but will cause rought idle)...

in a four month span...I had every one of these things happen on an 01 with 50K...if you don't have a warranty...BUY ONE...use AAA or GE Financial....I sold my X after $4K in repairs and will be in a CPO next time. OTher wise...welcome...good luck and drive fast!

HAHA...My passenger's side front window regulator has been replaced, my drivers side front window pops and comes off track a lot...going to have that replaced soon, the telescoping steering wheel doesn't move forward and back, only moves up and down, my drivers side side mirror doesn't move left and right, just up and down, I've had the door lock actuators on two of the locks replaced, when it rains, the front passengers floor is SOAKED, my fuel gauge gets stuck saying I have a 1/4 tankful as I'm pulling away from the gas station...it resets itself after I travel about 60 miles, two of the pixel strips on the dash message board are burned out, I had major issues with one of the tail lights not wanting to work, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head! Oh yeah...did I mention I have no warranty?

The two things I miss about the Jeep...automatic door locks (when you hit 15 mph, the doors lock) and automatic headlights!

But all of those issues seem to disappear (in my mind at least) when I'm weaving in and out of traffic at 80mph+ and she's handling like a champ!

Welcome Michelle

I guess you have come to the right place, with all of those problems, but the good thing about this site somebody else has had the same and knows how to sort it!! You should be able to get your door lock programed at the dealers mine lock after pulling away.The dealer programed this in for me last time my car was in there.

wow-- you're up early on christmas!

several things:

1) steering telescoping motor needs replacement
2) your drain plug from the sunroof is blocked on that side. it runs down the passenger side. needs to be blown out and cleared.
3) you have a bad fuel tank level sender. needs replacement. it will eventually fail completely
4) pixels should cause unit to be replaced
5) that's a new one. (tail light). was the car ever in an accident?

the door looks do that automatically ilf the feature is enabled. dealer can do this.

Welcome aboard and I believe Drex answered all your questions.

Despite all those little problems, you'll definitely enjoy driving the X5 for years to come....it is light-years ahead of the Jeep.

Congrats and Happy Holidays!

Saw Danica (not the SAV) in a commercial recently (something about beaty products or something) and she's total knockout!! There's something mysterious about beauty and speed...... a dangerous combo.
