Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Convertible top locks up randomly, get message to reduce speed due to top not being locked when it was fine the ride before, try to lock , then windows go halfway down and stay stuck that way. This happens when in motion, on street or highway.”
NHTSA complaint #11073372, filed 2018-02, 1 miles“Shows the Bmw logo then screen goes blank and keeps cycling the same way. The nav, radio, bluetooth, cd and the sos light error in the cluster. Safety alarks are all disabled and the vehicle is unable to detect or report if objects are near the bumper or sides of the vehicle. The unit stays running (maybe the fan) when I turn the car off and drains the battery.”
