Example complaints

Electrical system: “I put my car to charge at a manufacturer recommended charging station. I went for a short walk and when I came back, the fire department had arrived. They informed me that the car had caught fire and that it was put out by a good Samaritan using an extinguisher. The car was not drivable and there was visible fire damage”

NHTSA complaint #11601289, filed 2024-07

Forward collision avoidance: “I put the auto reverse on and the car ran into a wall. I tried to discuss with bmw and they stated the car performed appropriately and they are stating I had to take over when it ran into the wall. I couldn’t react fast enough as the car ran into the wall quickly. They have since said they will not take responsibility for the accident.”

NHTSA complaint #11569633, filed 2024-02

Brakes: “While moving at a very slow speed parking the vehicle in my driveway, I was slowly turning to the left. The vehicle accelerated suddenly and quickly. This cost the front end to strike the deck and steps to the deck of my home. It also damaged the lower front end of the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11689057, filed 2025-09

Back-over prevention (rear camera): “Recently purchased used iX and successfully used the Parking Assistant Professional about a dozen times to back into my home garage using 5-point maneuver (driveway layout visible from aerial photo from address provided with report; drove in straight passed spot on garage’s left side looking in, other SUV parked in right spot, back into perpendicular spot in garage). After recording a new 3-point path, I tried it for the first time. During that attempt, the SUV suddenly reversed too fast to stop before crashing into another car in the garage. …”
