Example complaints

Brakes: “Yesterday again my 2024 I7 x50 bmw suddenly engaged its auto brakes. I have been in communication with different dealers trying to repair this problem as it almost cause another accident. Luckily there was no cars behind me and there was no cars ahead of me. The cars door also would not close. I have video evidence of this”

NHTSA complaint #11685765, filed 2025-09

Electrical system: “This is the 5th time my cat suddenly brakes in the middle of traffic with no obstruction. I keep taking it to the dealership and they drive it for 1 mile and give it back. I am fed up and I have my family in the car. Last time I took it, they said something the car doesn’t recognize a driver This is a electric car.”

NHTSA complaint #11675784, filed 2025-07

Forward collision avoidance: “This is has been continuous, yesterday my car braked on the freeway. Suddenly with no obstruction. The car behind me almost crashed into me and it would’ve been a very tragic event. I took it to the dealership and they don’t do anything, all they do is give it back to me. Yesterday also has loss of power too. I have alerted them many times, they keep saying to take it in but they don’t do anything and I don’t feel with this car. Please let BMW know because if something happens they will be heard responsible”

NHTSA complaint #11682433, filed 2025-08

Other or unknown: “I have now experienced multiple instances where the vehicle suddenly brakes on its own while driving at normal speeds, without any obstruction or hazard ahead. This is not only unacceptable — it's extremely dangerous, putting both myself and other drivers at risk of serious injury. Despite bringing the vehicle in twice to the dealership, the issue persists. I continue to receive dashboard malfunction alerts, and the automatic braking problem has not been resolved. Each time, I am left without a vehicle, impacting my ability to work. …”
