Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Carbon monoxide inside the car is way too high with the EGR cooler leaking issue not being fixed yet. It's been 3 months now and the air quality inside the car is soo bad that I am getting headache from the soot and co gas coming out of AC vent. I did a service today and even after replacing the microfilter and another filter, the problem still persists. The degraded air quality contains hazardous gas and can cause dizziness which could lead to fatal accidents at higher speed. …”

“I was driving this vehicle over the weekend, the car stops on the road abruptly. The car slows down and automatically switches the gear to neutral and comes to a halt on the middle of the road. The car's dashboard indicated a warning chassis stabilization error. I was able to restart the car again and was able to proceed maybe 2 miles and this time, it stopped at the middle of the road again. This time there was traffic behind me, I was really frightened since there was traffic behind me! It was a very narrow miss! I am having the car towed to a Bmw dealer to inspect it. …”

“The sunroof exploded. On june 29th, 2018 at approximately 4:00 pm I was stop at an intersection waitin for an on coming car to pass so I could make a left turn. As soon as I started to go I heard what sounded like an explosion/loins gun shot coming from the inside of the car. I was extremely startled, I am literally shaking now just thinking about how scary this was. It only took a few seconds to realize the sunroof was shattering above me. I was only a few miles from home. I called the dealership to advise them what had happed and schedule a repair. …”

“Exhaust smell from engine bay area comes into car since I bought the car. I reported this problem to the dealer and no solution was found. EGR cooler was not replaced even though I get the recall since 2018 and it states that the exhaust smell could possibly comes from EGR. Problem needs to be addressed by BMW since I use this car to drive my infant. Please advise!”
