“The software of the car has a lot of bugs. The displays on the center console turns off , the radio connection comes and go and this is in nyc. A friend had his 2015 bmw to same radio station as my car and they were right next to each other. I was not getting any signal while his was playing. The car fogs and makes it very hard to see and drive. I had to take the car in for service 4 times in one due to this and software issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11220359, filed 2019-06, 600 miles“When trying to drive my wife's vehicle the gauges for speed, tachometer, vehicle status etc turn off. The two touch screens also turn off so cannot control any climate, radio, drive settings etc. It will come on intermittently and turn back off without warning. The car still operates but without any instrumentation. Unknown how this affects safety features such as airbags.when my wife drives it is less intermittent but happens from time to time. If I attempt to start the car sometimes it won't even turn on but after a couple minutes I can get it to start. It is push button. …”

They come on by themselves and it’s not even dark enough for them to be on. It happens when I’m on the freeway going to work. This has happened more than once. It’s happened four times already and it worries me cause I don’t want someone to think I’m flicking my high beams at them!!!”
