X5 Hybrid Repair Woes

[mgw1975]

I have a 2016 X5 Hybrid (Xdrive 40e) and recently had a fairly complete failure of the hybrid parts of the car. The EME, SME, and Safety Box all failed and repairs required total about $13K.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm a little hesitant that if I pay for this labor-intensive fix, that the car will actually operate well again. That's about 2/3 of the resale value of the car for the repairs, so I may just cut my losses and invest in something new.

I can't believe the poor reliability though. Any feedback appreciated!

What symptoms did you experience before all those failures were diagnosed and a 13k price quoted?

The 40e is starting to sound almost as bad as the N63. OP is the car drivable? Can you her a 2nd opinion?

It's essential to weigh your options carefully and consider the long-term reliability of the vehicle after such extensive repairs.

So we have bots using AI as responses now? We're doomed.

My 2016 X5 Hybrid started throwing codes related to the hybrid system. After reading all the horror stories others have faced, I immediately traded it on Carvana for a 2017 X5 (non hybrid). Also went from what seemed like a base model to loaded with comfort access, CarPlay, etc…. Relieved to be rid of those issues. Hope you get it resolved without spending the value of the car on repairs.
