2024 Bmw iX Complaints

While moving at a very slow speed parking the vehicle in my driveway, I was slowly turning to the left. The vehicle accelerated suddenly and quickly. This cost the front end to strike the deck and steps to the deck of my home. It also damaged the lower front end of the vehicle.

BMW has issued an update to their software. There is a setting on the car where you press auto H and if you press the break, it will stop as if it’s parked now. This software update has a bug and nkw this feature turns off even though you have it set, so you think you’re parking and you press the brake and lift your foot which should put it into park and the car keeps moving and you hit other cars or people or anything. It is extremely dangerous.

My 2024 BMW iX xDrive50 intermittently fails to deploy the rearview windows upon startup. Restarting does not help; they open only after driving above ~25 mph. This typically occurred once or twice a month based on my recollection. I purchased the vehicle in late May 2024, so I had it for only five months before the accident. More concerningly, the vehicle sometimes shifts from Drive (D) to Brake (B) mode without input. I noticed this behavior several times before a crash on 10/27/24, and again after the crash. On 10/27/24, while in B mode, I slowed at an intersection with ~30 feet of space ahead.

BMW North America inspected the vehicle on 12/20/24 and later concluded that no defect was present after a 6-mile test drive. After their review, my dealership also conducted its own inspection but was u...

I was driving on Single Pedal Drive on a freeway with the 2024 BMW IX, there was a slow down ahead of me. I removed my foot from the pedal and waited for car to slow down, but car didn't slow down enough. Then I slammed the brakes hard, but the brake didn't engage. In fact, brakes were pushed back against my foot. I was slamming the brakes as hard as I could, but i couldn't feel the brakes letting me me bottom out . This was a very traumatic experience. I have been able to reproduce it once again, but not always. But BMW dealership doesn't want to accept any problem. Thankfully, I had slowed down, otherwise, this is a very dangerous problem. Please investigate this. This has caused a big cost burden for me and also quite a traumatic experience.

Summary of Incident – March 28, 2025 On March 28, 2025, at approximately 8:17a.m., I left my residence and proceeded to my vehicle, which was parked inside my garage. I opened the tailgate of the vehicle, placed my laptop in the trunk compartment, and securely closed the tailgate. Upon entering the vehicle, I observed that the dashboard screen displayed no safety warnings or indications that the tailgate was open or ajar. My key fob remained in my possession, located in my pants' pocket, throughout this time. I then drove approximately one mile from my residence. While executing a right turn at a traffic light, the dashboard screen suddenly displayed a message indicating that the tailgate was open. Looking through my left side mirror, I observed that my carry-on sized luggage had fallen out of the vehicle and onto the road. I promptly and safely pulled over, exited the vehicle, and inspected the trunk, where I found the tailgate halfway open without any apparent cause, I pressed the bu...
