• Third-row seat in my 2020 BMW X7 failed during normal operation and trapped my [XXX] daughter between the seatbacks. • She sustained injuries to her legs (documented in photos). I injured my arm while trying to free her. • Approximately 10 people witnessed the incident. • Seat would not move or release electronically or manually—no functional emergency release. • Multiple BMW system warnings occurred before the incident, including:  – “Third row seat risk of injury”  – “Right/left rear seat unlocked”  – “Right/left rear seat back unlocked” • BMW’s inspection found the passenger-side third-row seat motor housing broken. • There was no misuse and the failure occurred during normal operation • BMW refuses to repair the defect under warranty and attempted to return the vehicle unrepaired. • BMW suggested an “outside influence,” but evidence does not support this. • This defect creates a serious entrapment and injury hazard with no reliable manual release. • Requesting NHTSA investigati...

I am filing this complaint because the third-row passenger seat in my 2020 BMW X7 has a serious defect that poses an immediate safety risk to children and passengers. The third-row seat malfunctioned while my child was exiting the vehicle. The powered seat began moving unexpectedly and trapped my child’s leg, and we had extreme difficulty getting the seat to release. This is an extremely dangerous failure for any powered seat, especially one that is frequently used by children. This is not normal wear and tear — this is a mechanical and electrical failure of a safety-critical seat system. BMW Fresno has had the vehicle for more than six weeks and cannot fix the problem. BMW North America reviewed the case but denied responsibility and closed it, even though the defect affects a powered safety-critical seat. We still have no repair, no explanation, and no assurance that the seat is safe. I am filing this because the powered seat poses a clear risk of injury, and BMW has not resolved...

Hello , I would like to report a failed front differential on my vehicle. This issue was diagnosed by an independent BMW shop and is currently being repaired. Mine made it to 69k miles but many others have had theirs failed before 50k miles. My main goal is to bring light to this issue since it seems to be a design flaw. There's also numerous reports for failed transfer cases since they aren't normally serviced by BMW dealers. I've attached both repair invoices.

My front differential has failed and my vehicle has 62,000 miles. There is no recommended service and maintenance schedule for replacing fluids for the front differential so I thinking that this failure is due to an engineering design flaw including no recommended schedule to service the unit. It also seems this component may be too small/weak for the engine output. I has seem this failure reported on many blobs and users groups and seems to be recurring issue that BMW turns a blind side to. They ask why an extended warranty was not purchased and seeing that this is a recurring problem I am asking for a possible recall to force BMW to pay or reimburse others for repairs.

The contact owns a 2020 BMW X7. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the wheels while turning to the right or the left. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that both front control arms needed to be replaced; however, the vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. Upon investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V678000 (SUSPENSION); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was previously serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V644000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
