Service Brakes

Read full complaint

BMW leased me a defective 2025 x5 sDrive40i vehicle with a known brake defect on May 31, 2024. There is currently no fix or solution they claim.; however, they are currently building the exact same 2025 X5 model at their SC factory and shipping them. The vehicles produced the last 2 weeks are shipping to dealers for delivery to customers without a recall or stop sale order in place. BMW refuses to buyback my vehicle since they cannot tell me if/when they can fix the defective braking module that can substantially affect braking distance and also render dynamic stability control [VSC] inoperable which could lead to a crash and injuries to both occupants, other motorists, pedestrians, and/or property damage. I have made multiple phone calls to BMW without any update on when or if they can fix my vehicle. They knew of thus recall back in February of 2024 and leased me the vehicle in May 2024 and as of today, no remedy is available according to their claims. This is beyond a reasonable amount of time to fix my vehicle or buy it back.
