2022 BMW IX Forward collision avoidance Problems

“I have had 6-8 instances where the car takes off and accelerates without my touching the accelerator. It is not full-acceleration but strong enough that if a car was immediately in front of me - I might hit it. Hitting the brakes stops the acceleration and the car then drives normally.

“I am writing to report a serious safety concern regarding the 2022 BMW iX, specifically related to the malfunction of its safety system due to the software provided by Green Hill Software.

The contact indicated that during the failure the collision avoidance system did not activate. No injuries were reported. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failures. …”

“This vehicle was involved in a collision, none of the safety features worked. The front end collision warning did not go off. The automatic emergency braking did not engage. The Car jolted forward after the collision and did not stop, potentially risking another collision. The SOS or emergency collision BMW assist was not activated, there was no call from anyone from BMW after the accident.
