2024 BMW IX Brakes Problems

“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.”

“I was in the driver's seat in one-pedal driving. The car was stopped. I attempted to move the vehicle up a few feet so the driver in the car behind could reach the microphone to order their meal. When I tapped the gas pedal, the car moved slightly, but the engine revved loudly and thoroughly; the iX50 then launched itself forward, and I applied the brake. The brake pedal went to the floor. The iX50 launched violently forward. It struck the stopped full-size SUV in the rear. That vehicle came to a stop, literally 20-25 feet forward. …”

“I was driving on Single Pedal Drive on a freeway with the 2024 BMW IX, there was a slow down ahead of me. I removed my foot from the pedal and waited for car to slow down, but car didn't slow down enough. Then I slammed the brakes hard, but the brake didn't engage. In fact, brakes were pushed back against my foot. I was slamming the brakes as hard as I could, but i couldn't feel the brakes letting me me bottom out . This was a very traumatic experience. I have been able to reproduce it once again, but not always. But BMW dealership doesn't want to accept any problem. …”

“I started my vehicle with my foot on the brake. I put the car in reverse, with my foot on the brake. The car went backwards and hit a parked car. It was 1 car length behind me. I didn't take my foot off the brake and I pushed it harder. The car kept going backwards and I couldn't stop it. I didn't press on the gas pedal. BMW lied and said my after market fitted floor mat was the cause. My floor mat can't lay on the pedal, if I tried toplace it there. BMW had my vehicle for 3 months and I haven't driven it since 12/26/24. My car was purchased in 05/23 and I've had 4 issues. …”

“The brake pedal in the iX is a dangerous, flawed design. The arm of the brake pedal is at a 45 degree angle, and crosses the path of the accelerator. The result is that my foot clips behind the brake arm. Then my foot is stuck while depressing the accelerator!! It's the exact same result that caused the 2009 Toyota carpet mat recall. I have attached a photo showing the concept, but I am happy to provide further evidence or answer questions. In one photo, you can see that it is possible to entirely wedge a foot behind the brake arm while completely depressing the accelerator. …”
