Example complaints

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

“I was in a low speed front end collision on Oct. 10th. I was unable to stop despite stamping on the breaks. A week after the accident I received a letter from BMW informing me of a recall for the integrated brake module with no remedy available. It looks like the first brake recall letters were sent out in Feb. of 2024 but I never received a letter”

NHTSA complaint #11624037, filed 2024-11

“There is no incident as in a crash, the company (BMW) has failed to repair my vehicle or provide a fix to the brakes recall in a timely manner. When I bought the vehicle, the dealership failed to disclose that there was an open recall on this vehicle. My vehicle is telling me that I could be involved in a crash because my braking power is significantly reduced. I have no other vehicle to drive.”

NHTSA complaint #11653005, filed 2025-04

“On 2/25/26, in rush hour traffic we were driving on a NJ highway. We happened to be in the left-most of 3 lanes with a concrete divider (no shoulder – there was about 3 ft between the concrete divider and the left side of the left lane). We were about 4 car lengths behind the next car when traffic was slowing for a red light. The car indicated “Everything OK”. When I hit my brakes, they did not engage; they locked. The car skidded; it felt like we were on ice, but the road was clear. We were upon the car in front of us and had no place to go. …”

“Please refer to NHTSA recall 24V104. BMW (and NHTSA) have known about this safety issue for 7 months or more. Yet, BMW has done absolutely nothing to resolve the problem. What is it going to take to get BMW to place a reasonable priority on this? Deaths? Severe accidents? The recall was issued 2/12/24. It is now 10/2/24. I continue to drive a vehicle affected by the recall. I do not feel safe and feel BMW needs to address this issue without further delay. I have emailed BMW customer service seeking updates and they won't even respond!!!!! …”
