Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The touch screen on the passenger side wasn't functional - it was completely black except for a small BMW logo. Tried turning off the car and turning it back on, but that didn't solve the problem. As a result I was unable to change the temperature/AC, use navigation or the back up camera - important safety and comfort features. A few hours later when I returned to use the car it was functioning properly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11627373, filed 2024-11“The Rear Cross Traffic system does not work! A few days ago a car stopped inches away from me without any warning. I was backing out of a parking space at the grocery store.”
NHTSA complaint #11706815, filed 2025-12“The rear cross traffic alert does not work. It gives no indication or sound when a car or human drives by. I nearly got into an accident multiple times. When mentioned to my service manager, they tested backing up into a curb and not cross traffic . They thought it was not a problem, but when I explained the issue of rear cross traffic I was told to bring my vehicle in and that there is a fix. When asked why this doesn't work, or if this is a software update that was missed I was told that they do not know. Only that it is something that they can add to my vehicle. No clear explanation.”
