I was told this car has rear cross traffic warning when I ordered it from our local BMW dealer. After several "close calls" in parking lots, I took it into the dealer because it doesn't work like any of our other vehicles (Mercedes). I was told by the dealer that you have to be actively backing up and the car has to be immediately behind you in a very close proximity to the car before it will even alert you. There doesn't seem any active braking either. When you do a search on this issue with BMW's, it is a very common complaint of BMW owners. I believe this is a major safety issue with the feature that BMW claims.

The dashboard displays the message 'Drive carefully. Brake system.' I have contacted BMW AG [XXX] ) and BMW North America multiple times over the past 3 weeks, but they have failed to provide authorization for the repair at the authorized service center (Improtex Motors). The manufacturer is knowingly allowing a vehicle with a life-threatening brake defect to remain on the road by delaying the recall remedy. This is gross negligence regarding a mandatory safety recall." Sincerely, [XXX] Tel / WhatsApp: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The X7 engine shut down twice while driving. Both incidents took place in busy traffic, engine shut down with warning sound and error message flashed up on screen and disappeared so quick that no one can remember. As the result, the vehicle was stuck in the middle of busy traffic. Within less than 1 minute, the vehicle can be restarted and driven as normal. The vehicle was brought to BMW dealership since the 1st incident. Dealership implemented software update only. The 2nd incident happened roughly 7 months after the 1st incident. Currently it's with dealership again since the 2nd incident. At the moment of writing up this case, the service advisor told me replacing the 12V battery would solve the issue. However, there's no more details provided regarding how a low battery would cause engine shutdown. This is the concerning part as BMW seems not able to root cause the underlying issue which could cause serious safety risk for occupants of this vehicle.

I purchased 2020 4 PM BMW X7. Since the time I purchased, my air conditioning has not worked properly. Due to living in the hot state of Florida and it’s been an ongoing concern with my family as I have six kids. Bmw is denying that there is any problem with my air-conditioning and always reports that it’s a normal range. All you have to do is one search on the Internet to know that I am not alone in this issue. I finally took my vehicle to another dealership that duplicated by complaint on day one. Bmw is denying any problem. Any liability any responsibility even though the vehicle is underwater They know they have a manufacturer defect and if they admit there’s a problem they would be forced to recall all of these vehicles that us consumer spent a lot of money on.

SUMMARY: INTEGRATED BRAKE: The Integrated Brake (IB) system may not have been produced by the supplier according to specifications. If the IB system was not functioning properly, a warning lamp and message will be displayed in the instrument cluster. In August, this recall was expanded to include additional potentially affected vehicles. SAFETY RISK: In some cases, there will be a reduction in power assist braking, which could lead to an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. The Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system may not function, which could also affect braking performance as well as vehicle handling and control. However, fully mechanical braking is not affected and, if the IB system is not functioning properly, the parking (emergency) brake will be automatically activated to aid in braking performance and help maintain vehicle stability and control. REMEDY: The Integrated Brake (IB) system will be replaced for free by an authorized BMW center which should take about two to three hours. RECALL STATUS: Recall INCOMPLETE. Remedy not yet available This recall was issued on February 12, 2024, more than a year ago and the manufacturer has informed that the parts to fix this issue is on backorder. This is a safety issue.
