Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The passenger occupancy seat mat is faulty. Its an known ongoing issue with many many Bmw M5 owners, and a huge safety issue! Now the airbags may not deploy properly. Bmw refuses to fix the problem and is over $2000 to fix. They had a recall for the same exact issue but only until mid-2005 models. This issue is going on well past vehicles built in 2005.”
