2022 BMW Ix

The contact owns a 2022 BMW IX. The contact stated that three weeks after purchasing the vehicle, he was informed by the dealer that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V541000 (Electrical System) and that parts to do the recall repair was unavailable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and remained in their possession. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Under "B" drive mode which is the "one pedal driving" with automatic regenerative braking, occasionally when I release the pedal completely expecting the vehicle to slow down/stop, the vehicle instead will lunge forward. This has happened twice, thankfully at low speeds in a parking lot where I was able to slam on the brakes. On BMW forums, there are also others with the same issue so I figure it's not a fluke and I hope BMW addresses it as it is a bit scary and I have an infant in the car most of the time.

On September 1st 2022, under heavy rain, the rear bumper fell partially, and the part that was still attached to the car dragged it along with the cables, camera, sensors, etc. The car only notified a sensor cleaning malfunction. I kept driving when saw the sensor warning. There was no noise or indication of anything going on in the car. It was when another driver made gestures for me to stop, and told me that my bumper was dragging, when I learned the situation. The safety of others was at risk because only a small plastic pin was holding it, a tail light went God knows where and it could had hit other drivers in the highway. I don't know if the problem has been or not reproduced by BMW. I do know that Tesla cars, that have the same type of engine, had identified this problems in their cars. BMW USA was notified and they deny it. They allege that it was a "collision" what provoked this. There wasn't any collision, it was just water from the rain. This car has video capability for theft and collision and in its memory there is nothing about a collision or the event of the bumper falling. The theft/collision system is in fact working because when the towing service came to pick it up, it registered theft pictures. I went to the police first to make the report. This is the report number: Q2022-5-050-8951, the agent was Pablo A Morales #29480 at Mayaguez Police Station in Puerto Rico. Their phone number is (787) 832-9696. From there, the vehicle was sent directly to the BMW service center. They inspected it, in fact, they still have it. The car insurance representative just inspected it as well, yesterday morning. The only message that turned on was the sensor cleaning one, since it was raining, I assumed it was due to that. The message kept appearing. There were no other symptoms or messages.

The contact owns a 2022 BMW IX. The contact stated that under certain circumstances, while driving approximately 65 MPH, the automatic safety feature indicated a false emergency stop. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the vehicle made a false detection and the Interrupted Assisted Driving warning light illuminated indicating that the contact’s hands were not on the steering wheel; however, the contact stated that his hands were positioned at the bottom of the steering wheel. The contact then stated that he had to increase acceleration to override the system when the vehicle then engaged the automatic braking system. The contact stated that he navigated the vehicle off the road to shut off the engine. The contact then stated that he was able to reboot the system and took the vehicle to the dealer where the assisted plus was disengaged, and the contact was advised to call the NHTSA Hotline. The contact stated that the dealer was not equipped to diagnose the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

Hello, I bought this Vehicle from Bridgewater BMW on Aug 22 in New Jersey and the very next day got a call from Roshad Petteway of BMW NA about the recall for the battery and had it towed back to the dealership. BMW Failed to notify the Dealer as they were unaware of the recall and sole me a recalled vehicle which Iam paying the loan with no vehicle now .

I ordered BMW ix50 in 10/1/21, got delivered on 05/20/22. Only after 39 days on 06/08/22 and about 1000 miles BMW stopped running and I called BMW roadside assistance to take to the dealership. The car was “fixed” and picked-up back from the dealership on 07/06/22. The reason was given from Gwinnett dealer that “software upgrade” needed and “was fixed”. Again on 7/15 evening when I was coming after getting battery 80% charged, I was driving and the car suddenly died while in motion. I tried to restart the engine but I couldn’t start the engine. Left side hazard light also stopped blinking. (Videos available) I could have died by the traffic in this scenario. Many people can be easily at high risk due to this unmanageable BMW problem and can even die. BMW dealer text me on 07/19/22 that “BMW has let us know that they want us to replace the Electronic Memory Module on your vehicle. That part is coming in from Germany. As of today there is not an estimate for when the part should come in.” So, do BMW knows what is actually wrong and how long it will take it fix brand new BMW ix EV? This is the story of the famous German carmaker. (1) Why car was released on 07/6/22 when “fix” was not done right? (2) How the brand new car engine die suddenly while in motion? (2) Do BMW understand the risk factor of these kind of incidents? (3) Why BMW introduced ix-50 EV model in USA market when the car is complete disaster? (4) Both the times of breakdown, we do not have a loaner’s car, even after spending $110,000! I felt that I became guinea pig for the inefficiency and lake of expertly of BMW in EV. My friends and everyone trust in BMW is shaky. I booked ix last year, because we trusted BMW, we were thrilled, and this supposed to be gift for our someone. Bad performance on ix EV can is not good for already declining sales of regular BMW products and EVs.
