Example complaints

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

“No accident, just a safety issue with acceleration delay. Total lack of acceleration at a stop to go. There is an inherent lag until the transmission kicks in and goes, about a half second delay. This is obviously not good when trying to get into busy traffic whether at a light or merging. I have talked to Bmw tampa and ran a diagnostic without success for a fix. They even admit there is an issue with this but Bmw germany guys they say won't change their thinking or fix the issue. In a nutshell it's as if the fuel doesn't get to the injectors until a .05 delay. This is not safe, point blank.”

NHTSA complaint #10694767, filed 2015-03, 26,900 miles
