Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving my car for about 7 min (in 0 degree weather) and it overheated and just shut off on the road. I noticed it was over heating and headed to the repair shop. It stalled again. Even after apparently it was fixed the engine continues to act like it wants to stall. It’s says malfunction, but codes do not show up in the system. They keep telling me it’s fine and they fixed it, it keeps wanting to shut off.”
NHTSA complaint #11722692, filed 2026-03“On the night of 9/4/25, I parked my 2019 BMW 530i in my closed garage and believed I had turned off the vehicle. I removed the key fob. Hours later, our household carbon monoxide detector activated. The fire department responded and measured 480 ppm CO throughout the house and 1,500 ppm inside the vehicle. They stated we were seconds from death due to carbon monoxide exposure. The engine bay reached nearly 600°F, and oxygen in the garage dropped to 7%. The fire department incident report is not yet available, but I will provide it once obtained. …”

This was the first time I received the notification so I immediately took the vehicle to BMW. The service advisors checked the coolant level which was indeed low. The service advisor was also able to point out the smell of coolant and evidence of dried up coolant leaking unto the engine. I scheduled an appointment immediately to have the problem thoroughly inspected. The water pump was leaking at the seals which could cause overheating and a potential engine fire. …”
