Example complaints

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

“Several months ago, my digital cluster on my 2020 330i blacked out briefly and came back on.

Because of this failure, I no longer have access to my speedometer, engine temperature, or engine lights in the event that something needs immediate attention.

NHTSA complaint #11767874, filed 2026-09

The vehicle was brought in for service shortly after purchase due to these concerns and was removed from my possession because of the seriousness of the issues. …”
