“Subject: Safety Complaint – 2025 BMW X7 LED Headlights Provide Insufficient Road Illumination Vehicle: 2025 BMW X7 Category: Exterior Lighting – Headlights Issue: Severely inadequate nighttime visibility Complaint: I am reporting a serious safety concern with the LED headlights on the 2025 BMW X7. The headlights provide poor road illumination, especially at night and on unlit roads. The beam pattern is too low, too narrow, and fails to illuminate critical portions of the roadway. This creates dangerous dark zones directly ahead of the vehicle and significantly reduces reaction time. …”
NHTSA complaint #11758821, filed 2026-08“1. Both right and left headlights have a defect with visible obstructions to the naked eye. This issue causes a portion of the road to be blacked out while driving. I took the car back to the dealership and they claim the lights are designed as intended. The lights are obstructed or improperly installed from the manufacturer and are not responding properly. 2. When the high beams are activated, a black horizontal line appears in the middle of the headlights while driving. The horizontal black line moves up and down while driving and there is no way to removed the black line.”
