“The vehicle front end will shake and lurch left and right when driving at freeway speeds. When driving at or below 25mph, and a small but sharp bump in the road is driven over, the entire steering column will shake and the suspension in the front (in particular the drivers side) will make a loud clunking/popping sound. I've had the vehicle inspected by the dealership 2 times. They tell me that the noise is normal and common on this year and make. …”

“10/07/18 driving back from florida an hour into my ride on a 90 degree day, I had my senior great dane in my car returning to atlanta. The AC stopped, I could hear it behind the dash, blowing full force, but nothing coming out of the vents. Being sunday, no-one could advise on a temporary solution, called Bmw sos and roadside assistance, they could do nothing. I thought it could be possible the coils froze up, like in your home, I shut the AC off completely and had to drive with the windows down. This corrected the problem, briefly. …”

“I would like to note that it was the driveshaft that caused this. The connection between the driveshaft and the flange loosened completely. There are previous recalls for this with Bmw. The vehicle was on a highway, going 65mph and all of a sudden there was vibration and noise from underneath the vehicle. All of a sudden it slowed down to the point where it would no longer driveable. I was going 5mph (barely) to get off the exit and was not able to make a turn. I shut the car off and restarted it and was able to move to a safe parking lot 10 feet away. …”

“car stops while driving, battery also draws while not in use. which is very dangerous. Already filed report with dealer ship for car. We will be having an another baby this winter and it is getting to the point where It can be very dangerous for my family. We got it checked but since it’s a manufacturer issue is what they said. Since this car doesn’t have any recalls dealer doesn’t want to do anything. We noticed that many other cars of same year have the same problem.”

NHTSA complaint #11554684, filed 2023-11

“Drive train malfunction. Throws itself in to neutral while driving. Lost the power to accelerate so had to coast to the shoulder.. Turned the car off and restarted it. Took to automotive shop via extended warranty suggested and I paid to have the pressure fuel piece. This same piece, apparently has a recall on the 2015 but not my year. Very upset. While out of town the same thing happened again. With a passenger. Very scary my car lost power and almost caused an accident.”
