“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!!!!! …”
NHTSA complaint #11617638, filed 2024-10“Traveling about 35mph with no cars around, the brakes applied, no throttle response, and little steering. Warning lights illuminated and couldn't move car until turned off ignition and restarted. Dealer showed no codes and shows no record of it occurring. This symptom mirrors a recall on last years model, but not yet on 2024's. BMW says there's nothing more they can do but we are afraid to drive car because it's a guaranteed accident waiting to happen.”
