“I received notice on the recall for my vehicle in October 2024. Since then I have tried to make appointments with BMW of Ramsey to fix the recall issue and they have told me each time that the part is not available and they cannot fix the issue. We are now in May 2025 and this has not been attended to.”

“Recall has been going on for a year and still no remedy. I have no been able to work with this vehicle since BMW put out this recall and there has been no fix for it. I am stuck with this vehicle”

NHTSA complaint #11640135, filed 2025-02

“Recall Campaign No. 24V-104 Status Remedy not available Issued FEB 12, 2024 Last Updated Mar 14, 2025 It has been over a year since this recall came out and they have yet to have a fix for all of them. I asked the BMW dealerships near me, they are only fixing: cars that are currently sitting on the lot so they can sell them and cars that are actually experiencing the issue. My car does not have the issue and BMW will not fix it. They told me to wait until maybe Summer or Fall this year but no exact date.”

“A deer was standing ahead in the road and I began to brake! I was only going 25-30mph. The brakes were hard to push and it felt like something was malfunctioning eventually hitting the deer straight on!!! The Automatic Braking System did NOT work, the forward collision warning did NOT work and the BRAKES did not work after pressing hard to brake to avoid a collision!!! I have had this BMW for over a year and have had several recalls that the dealership fixed EXCEPT for the IB recall issued on 2/12/24 that they still have NO REMEDY!!!!!!! …”

“am writing to report a potential safety and fire hazard issue involving my BMW X1, along with ongoing electrical concerns I have experienced with this vehicle since purchase. Approximately two weeks ago, for the first time in three years, I needed to bring the vehicle in for an oil change. Due to my work commute of more than two hours each way, neither the BMW dealership near my home nor the one near my workplace was able to accommodate me within a reasonable timeframe. Because I could not continue driving without service, I brought the vehicle to Jiffy Lube for an oil change. …”
