Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The stop and go cruise control has disengaged over 100 times and has slammed on the brakes for no reason 5 times. I have almost been rear ended twice on the highway. This is not safe. I have shown Bmw over 50 photos and 3 videos of this and they find every excuse in the book. I am scared for my life when using this cruise control. Bmw also refuses to take the car back.”
