“Whenever I accelerate from a stop sometimes on my screen a chassis message and a service break message will pop up on my main screen. After that, the traction control, brake, and ABS light all pop up on my dash and will not go off until I shut the vehicle off and start it back again. Once I restart the vehicle the lights are gone. It doesn't affect how the vehicle drives after they pop up. However, it seems to delay shifting when they initially pop up.”

NHTSA complaint #11266631, filed 2019-10, 105,000 miles

“I have taken my car to the dealership and asked for this lock issue to be repaired at least 6 times during the past five years. Over the past two years the issue happens more frequently. At times I am in the car without it running, then I go to open the door and I am locked inside. The handle acts like it is going to open but the door does not open. The handle lifts but does not move the lock. I have to use a button on the console or the key fob to unlock all the doors electronically. …”

“My Bmw 328I 2013 has a drivetrain malfunction second time in less than a month. After reading Bmw threads on this particular problem it's a fact that this is a common issue for 2013 Bmw owners and a recall should be sent out immediately to resolve this issue.”
