Example complaints
Brakes: “I applied normal pressure to my brakes to slowly come to a stop and my brakes locked up and started jerking the car. I was told in October of 2023 by the dealership I purchased the car from that there was a recall and no fix. I just checked with them again today and there is still no fix. I am having problems with the braking system and can not get the car fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #11633680, filed 2025-01Steering: “This vehicle has had numerous error codes one time it state vehicle could not be driven because of drivetrain malfunction inter alia vehicle is leaking from moter but is undetected during this recall we had another error code go off showed to tom bush Bmw on atlantic along with liquid leaking from motor/transmission this was in fist 90 days of vehicle we have only had this vehicle less than one year 10/08/2024 drivetrain malfunctioned again with error code 90 days before this - vehicle had serious error codes including ....drivetrain error codes its been over a month since Bmw has issued…”
NHTSA complaint #11625126, filed 2024-11Wheels: “Purchased 2024 XM in July 2024. Since then all 4 rims have cracked. Quote by BMW to replace $2500. If replaced I would have paid 10k in a year to replace wheels plus the 3k spent in May and June 2025 for a set of new tires. This week my PSI was zero. I could hear the air coming out. Took XM to a tire shop to find out nothing was wrong. The tire was fine and the previously repaired crack was fine. The shop added air and it held. Then the next day, I could hear air seeping from another tire. My husband drove it around the subdivision and came back home to add air. The seeping had stopped. …”
