“I am experiencing recurring safety issues with my 2024 BMW i4 eDrive35 Gran Coupe. •On three separate occasions, the driver’s side door did not fully close, leaving a gap large enough for my hand to fit through. •At the same times, the hood (bonnet) also failed to fully latch. •During these events, the windows stopped working. •On one occasion, the entire main screen went completely black while driving. These are not minor inconveniences; they are serious safety hazards. …”

“am writing to report an incident involving my vehicle. While entering my driveway, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated and did not recognize that the garage door was closed.

“I was parking my car and there was a car that was car parked beside the place I pulling into to. I had backed up and when took my foot off the brake the car took off and struck the corner of the parked car. It literally took off. I had zero control of the car and it didn’t brake until after I hit the car. Where I was parking was on an incline that was going up. It happened again when I was pulling into another parking spot. I was not close enough to the curb and that car felt the same way. It felt like it was just going to take off. I just put it in park at that point. …”

“I encountered the safety issue on a test drive. The VIN which I supplied is typical of this model. The design of the gear selector lever makes it easy to inadvertently and unintentionally shift into Reverse, when Drive or Neutral is desired. A single click of the lever can engage either Reverse or the desired gear, depending on the engagement status of the brake pedal and the speed of the car. There is no Reverse gear lockout button, a standard safety feature on other vehicles. I almost backed into the vehicle behind me, when a red traffic light turned green. …”
