Lane Departure, forward Collision Avoidance
02/20/2025
Car presents the forward collision mitigation and lane departure warning are inoperable. Errors popped up 10-20 times while driving a short distance. These are repeat errors that BMW has not fixed. As i drove the car kept alerting me that the systems were offline. They would come back online and go back offline as i drove. Car has been to dealership around 8-9 times and BMW says there is adamant that nothing is wrong with the car even though this error has been happening since I have had the car at around 1000 miles. Currently at ~13k miles now.

Forward Collision Avoidance
10/03/2024
Multiple times when my 2024 X7 has started or I have been driving a warning message pops up that states that Forward Collision Mitigation or other safety systems are "reduced". BMW has stated there is nothing to fix on the car.

Latches/locks/linkages
02/11/2025
The door lock actuator for the front driver door failed twice. The first time it failed, the car would not unlock from the outside. All other doors would unlock. I had my kids in the back of the car and I was trying to get inside the car to drive and it wouldn't open. I had to pry off the cap covering the keyhole on the door with a screwdriver and then insert the blade key and manually turn the actuator. I got this failed unlocking on video and submitted it to BMW. They claimed they could not replicate and that there was no issue with the door and gave me the car back without fixing anything. A short time later I was parked at the grocery store, this time inside the car, and the car door wouldnt open. I pulled on the inside handle and there was a lot of resistance to it. I had to yank on it pretty hard and finally the door popped open. I then tried to close the door but there was no resistance on the latch and the door would no longer close. I called BMW roadside and they instructed...

Unknown Or Other
12/04/2024
My car had an accident and it was hit by another car on the left side, but the camera which was assumed to record the accident, it did not. Fortunately no one get injury. But I have to pay with my insurance. BWM did not admit such fatal error. I talked to them but they said I can sue them.... 1. I went to BMW Darien, the specilist said the camera only worked when being hit by the front, but it is not true, there are 4 cameras which record 360 degree around. 2. I assumed whenever an accident happened, the camera system will be activated, but the BMW people said because the accident was not severe, then the sensors did not work. But when checking my car, the whole left side was damaged, it is not a minor hit. Thus I question how severe would it be sufficient to trigger the system. 3. I have not been to the dealer. 4. The insurance just checked the damage and send me an estimated amount to repair the car. 5. there is no message, or because I was not the driver, I did not know.

Electrical System, service Brakes, forward Collision Avoidance
01/14/2025
The vehicle brakes have stopped working on this vehicle three times. The Integrated brake system has been worked on several times with loss of brake power happening while I have infants int he car with me several times. The BMW dealership, BMW Fort Washington in Pennsylvania, ahs failed to repair it several times despite requests. I lost braking power today and almost hit two different vehicles which I barely avoided by taking dangerous evasive action. Numerous warning lights came on inside the vehicle: 1) "Drive carefully. Brake System" 2) "Parking Brake" 3) "Reduced Driver Assistance" 4) "Recall or Technical Campaign" This is the third time this has happened. I was in less than two weeks ago and the B<W dealership assured me the vehicle was safe to drive despite the warning lights being on and the recall light being active. They told me nothing to worry about and this happened this morning. This is unacceptable.
