“Car went completely dead on a 6 lane highway. After almost 3 hours of waiting for Bmw tow service the police had the car towed. What happened prior to the tow was a car crashed into the back of the police car that was behind us. After 4 days in the shop we were told the cars main computer had a catastrophic failure and needed to be replaced. I have called and written Bmw corporate as my wife is scared to drive the car and I was hoping they would discuss some kind of replacement or buy back. The car was totally without any power including the emergency flashers! …”

“I was driving down the freeway with my son in the back seat when all of a sudden I heard a really loud explosion. I had no idea what had happened, it almost sounded like a loud gunshot. I heard particles falling on my car, but I did not know what they were. I got off of the freeway just to make sure that it wasn't my car. Sure enough, when I got out, I saw a basketball size hole in my moon roof. I knew that nothing had hit the moon roof because I had not gone under an overpass nor I had I seen anything coming at me that would have caused this damage. …”

“While driving on the highway, a loud bang was heard and broken glass was seen falling over the rear windshield. After pulling over, it was found that the sunroof had exploded, with a large hole in the middle and glass around it protruding upwards.”

NHTSA complaint #11398213, filed 2021-02, 80,000 miles

“Inability to open the driver door to exit the vehicle after the vehicle is stopped. I was informed that it may represent a failure of the door actuator. To be unable to exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency is unacceptable. They claim that the problem can occur intermittently before complete failure and may not be detected by their diagnostics. It is not a covered part or repair despite being a safety issue in a vehicle under the orignal manufacturer warranty and likely represents an intrinsic defect in a vehicle with 36,000 miles.”
