“2023 BMWiX with sudden acceleration issue upon parking. Vehicle has been subject to recall for unintended activation of cruise control upon parking and a software update was supposedly issued by BMW and yet this occurred to me today causing front end collision and lots of damage to my car. Not hurt nor were others but certainly could have been.”
NHTSA complaint #11689535, filed 2025-09“I was driving a 2023 BMW iX and attempting to park in front of a retail store in a strip mall parking lot. I was gently pressing the brake while trying to park in a space on the right. Then, suddenly, my car accelerated forward at high speed, crashing into the store's entrance door. This is clearly a case of sudden unintended acceleration.”
NHTSA complaint #11594044, filed 2024-06“I had an accident at a school pickup line. The car was on B mode completely stopped and it lurched forward all of sudden unfortunately at the exact moment when a girl was putting her backpack into her mother's car's trunk. Our IX hit the girl and the two cars parked in front of us. She was severely injured. Her mother repoerted some injury later.”
NHTSA complaint #11538226, filed 2023-08“My 1 week old iX had an unfortunate accident. I was backing it into the garage using the Recorded Path. This path has been used successfully multiple times since I got the car. Yesterday, while the car was steering into the garage, instead of steering onto the garage, it backed up straight into the wall opening, damaging the rear bumper and the garage wall. The garage wall moved in about 2-3 inches rendering the garage door inoperable. The CAR SENSORS DIDN’T STOP THE CAR although it was very clear it was heading for an obstacle, THE HOUSE WALL. …”
NHTSA complaint #11503442, filed 2023-01“I just purchased a 2023 BMW iX xDrive50 and have identified a safety hazard. The car has a feature that automatically locks or unlocks the vehicle when approaching or leaving the vehicle with a key. There have been two occasions, when I had just put my toddler in his car seat, that the doors locked when I shut the door. My purse with key and phone were also inside the car. The car locked because the second keyholder, my partner, was leaving our home at the same time and had the second key on him. I had no way to unlock the car and get to my son. …”
