• 12/30/2025· SERVICE BRAKES,LANE DEPARTURE

  1 Brakes: The brakes seem to have excessive wear. The car was purchased new and started making loud squeaking noises after about 18k miles. The squeaking sometimes went away after regular maintenance, but usually reappeared withing a few hundred miles of driving. Two different BMW dealership service centers examined the car at different times and claimed the squeaking was a sensor, however there was never a dashboard light or computerized message stating the same. At about 29K, a dashboard light and computerized message displayed warning the brakes needed regular maintenance. Strangely, the loud squeaking went away as soon as the dashboard light displayed. 2 Lane Keeping Assistance: the car will attempt to swerve into other lanes, fighting my attempts to control the steering wheel. This happens when lane markings have been redrawn, but the vehicle is detecting the painted-over lines and tries to divert to there instead. It also happens when a lane has an option to split into different directions. If I am driving straight, the vehicle will try to swerve into the alternate direction, instead of proceeding in the direction the car is already traveling. This sometimes risks driving into a curbs or barriers that separate the directions and has occurred numerous times.

  The Rear Cross Traffic system does not work! A few days ago a car stopped inches away from me without any warning. I was backing out of a parking space at the grocery store.

• 12/14/2023· POWER TRAIN

  The contact owns a 2023 BMW X1. The contact stated that when the vehicle is on any slight incline, when parked, when the vehicle was placed in reverse (R) or in drive (D) the vehicle will roll backward or forward for about one or two feet before the vehicle responds to the accelerator pedal and the transmission gear selected. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he would depress the brake pedal due to vehicle rolling in the opposite direction from which he intended and the vehicle would stop. The contact also stated that if the vehicle rolls back at any sort of speed, approximately 3 to 4 MPH, the vehicle automatic braking system would engage and stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but was occurring at every time the vehicle was parked on an incline. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was scheduled for normal service and software updates. The contact stated that a software update to remedy "drive off characteristics" and "throttle input lag" was installed, however the roll away failure was still occurring. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

• 12/13/2024· SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  I am filing this complaint regarding the unresolved safety recall for the Integrated Brake System (IBS) on my 2023 BMW X1. The recall, issued in February 2024, addresses critical safety issues, including the potential loss of power brake assist, Antilock Brake System (ABS) failure, and compromised Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). These defects increase the risk of accidents, particularly in emergency braking situations or poor driving conditions. Since the recall’s announcement, BMW Corporate has repeatedly confirmed that no official remedy is available, most recently in December 2024. However, my original dealership, BMW of Norwood, recently contacted me and claimed they could perform the repair immediately. This is contradictory and suspicious, as I had escalated the issue to BMW Corporate earlier in the week and mentioned my intent to seek legal counsel. Additionally, I have attempted to appraise or trade my vehicle multiple times since August 2024, but the recall has made this impossible, leaving me with financial and safety concerns. The dealership’s sudden claim that parts are available, without issuing a formal notice or providing documentation, raises concerns about improper recall handling or miscommunication between BMW Corporate and its dealerships. This delay, coupled with inconsistent information, leaves me and other affected customers at ongoing risk. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate BMW’s handling of this recall, ensure a consistent remedy is made available to all affected vehicles, and confirm that proper communication and compliance protocols are followed. Desired Outcome: 1.Investigate BMW’s recall handling and determine if a remedy exists. 2.Ensure consistent and accurate communication about recall remedies. 3.Require BMW to provide official documentation to affected customers when the recall is resolved.

• 12/12/2023· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  The car has a serious turbo lag. When I stepped on the gas it would take a few seconds for the car to move. I was very nervous driving it, as it was difficult to judge when I could enter or cross a stream of traffic safely. This is a serious safety issue. The dealership offered to come to my home with a loaner and have one of their employees accompany me while I drove the car to illustrate the issue. The person readily agreed several times there was an issue in the way the turbo or transmission was functioning. He loaded the car on the flatbread to the dealership and left me with a loaner. After checking out the issue with my brand new car the dealer agreed it was a problem. They said they would check for a software update, which they did and installed it. They held it again overnight to test it the next day after the software update. The service manager advised that the software update did not fix the issue, and BMW told them that the car was designed to work that way. After hearing this I looked online for people with the same issue, and I readily found several examples including a person that regularly reviews new cars in video and said the turbo lag was dangerous and he would not be surprised if there was a recall in the future. How can the service department see a problem and the manufacturer say it was designed to work that way? If so, customer should be advised, hey when you step on the gas the car may not move for a few seconds!

The electronic parking brake warning light was illuminated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and resumed normal driving; however, the failure recurred intermittently while driving. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated as needed while driving to the residence. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V104000 (Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Service Brakes, Hydraulic); and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the failure was related to the recall. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact was concerned about the safety of the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

  The touch screen on the passenger side wasn't functional - it was completely black except for a small BMW logo. Tried turning off the car and turning it back on, but that didn't solve the problem. As a result I was unable to change the temperature/AC, use navigation or the back up camera - important safety and comfort features. A few hours later when I returned to use the car it was functioning properly. The issue continued, and on August 15, 2024 the car was brought to the service center for evaluation (car was dropped off while the screen was black) - car was evaluated, reset and returned on 8/16 claiming the issue was resolved. (2 days) However: When we got the keys and pulled the car into the driveway the screen was black, again! The following week, the car was returned to the service center - issue could not be recreated so BMW agreed to replace the entire computer system. Today, when dropping off the car for the integrated breaking system recall, I was offered an x1 loaner from the dealership. When I turned on the car it also had a black screen on the passenger side - needless to say I requested another vehicle!

  A deer was standing ahead in the road and I began to brake! I was only going 25-30mph. The brakes were hard to push and it felt like something was malfunctioning eventually hitting the deer straight on!!! The Automatic Braking System did NOT work, the forward collision warning did NOT work and the BRAKES did not work after pressing hard to brake to avoid a collision!!! I have had this BMW for over a year and have had several recalls that the dealership fixed EXCEPT for the IB recall issued on 2/12/24 that they still have NO REMEDY!!!!!!! Not only is this a MAJOR safety issue that I've expressed to them many times- the worst has happened now and my braking system FAILED causing a collision!!! The Phil Hughes service dept. has lied about filling my washer fluid and that the faulty battery issue was due to it sitting too long! I drive this car EVERY DAY!! They also did not even disclose to me that there were faulty sensor issues when I had it serviced recently!! I do NOT trust them at this point!! Just this past week my check engine light went off and on. My husband unscrewed and screwed on the gas cap - the light was still on and then just went off as I was driving the next day! My battery still goes completely dead for unknown reasons....... I DO NOT FEEL SAFE!!! I am disabled from being rear-ended from a tractor trailer 4 years ago and this car has completely TRAUMATIZED me all over again and I will not drive this BMW ever again!!

  This vehicle has on numerous times has had delayed acceleration from a stop or rolling stop. The hesitation is random and unpredictable. The vehicle will be unresponsive for a second or two and then a surge of acceleration will jolt the vehicle forward. This causes an unsafe situation in which defensive maneuvering can be delayed. Accelerating from a stop sign or traffic light can become dangerous due to the significant lag between stepping on the gas pedal and the movement of the vehicle.

  The rear cross traffic alert does not work. It gives no indication or sound when a car or human drives by. I nearly got into an accident multiple times. When mentioned to my service manager, they tested backing up into a curb and not "cross traffic". They thought it was not a problem, but when I explained the issue of rear cross traffic I was told to bring my vehicle in and that there is a fix. When asked why this doesn't work, or if this is a software update that was missed I was told that they do not know. Only that it is something that they can " add " to my vehicle. No clear explanation.

• 10/07/2024· SERVICE BRAKES

  While returning home with my wife and cat, we were approaching a train crossing when I attempted to slow down, already under the posted speed limit and I pressed the brakes very lightly to begin slowing to a stop. The brakes locked up and we began sliding toward the train crossing arms and moving train on the tracks, I attempted pumping the brakes at that point realizing something was very wrong. With every slight touch of the brakes the vehicle would skid more, left, and right, until we came to a screeching halt mere feet from the train crossing arms. I have been told now by BMW roadside assistance that my vehicle is still safe to use. Then when I disagreed was transferred to "master mechanic " who promptly told me it was unsafe for me and others on the road. He set up a tow and it was towed away that same day. Now I have spoken to two different Certified BMW dealers, one of whom I purchased the vehicle from. They both said there's nothing they can do about it as there's no fix. The dealer that currently has is said it's safe to drive and I need to plan to pick it up. This is an absolute disaster of immense proportions that is going to cost someone their life undoubtedly. I was willing to let the vehicle sit until a fix was made available but only to be told that they have no loaners available for me. I paid for my vehicle in full at purchase, and this is the product and service I am provided by doing so. Reprehensible.

  Email sent to BMW describing a hesitancy or delay on acceleration from a dead stop: I have attached a link below to a blog from January, 2023, describing this problem on 2023 BMW X1; it includes a description of the issue on a video review of this car by Consumers Report.   Apparently, this has not been corrected.  My new 2023 X1 has this significant and dangerous problem.  I was at the dealer service department for 2 1/2 hours this morning and they claimed not to be aware of the problem, although the technician did recognize the hesitancy.  They also had no repair or correction from BMW.   That is inexcusable.  A second delay on accelerating from a stop making a turn onto or merging onto a highway, could result in a collision.  I assume that BMW is waiting for enough reports of that happening before doing something about it.   I am not interested in explanations or excuses.  I assume the it is due to the engine stop/start mechanism.    I want it corrected.  I am leaving on a road trip in 2 weeks and am afraid to take this car on the trip.  I realize that if I turn off the stop/start mechanism on each startup or drive in Sport mode, and the hesitancy does not occur.  That is not an acceptable alternative for a $58,000, BMW X1, especially for a recognized defect in the car’s manufacture or software that has been known for at least 10 months.   I need to have it fixed.

  Thankfully, I have not been involved in an accident to-date, but my 2023 BMW X1 has been the subject of a recall involving its braking system since February 2024, with no available remedy as of August 15, 2024. The lack of urgency by BMW to fix an issue involving the safety of its customers and vehicles' occupants is startling. This is unacceptable. I request that NHTSA investigate this issue and hold BMW accountable for remedying the issue now as it has gone beyond a reasonable amount of time to fix the issue. If a fix is not available, BMW should be made to buy back my vehicle.

  The recall number for the incident is 24V-104. The car was recalled in February and the recall repair was completed May 2, 2024. The car is currently at BMW and is available for inspection.BMW has confirmed that the parts they replaced in May malfunctioned. They claim that some of the recall parts had a mechanical problem and that the recent repair, July, was done with parts that had been inspected. On July 22, 2024, I was backing up and when I braked the car jolted as if I hit something and the computer screen showed ABS and parking brake malfunction. When I engaged the brakes they were hesitant and took a long time to stop the car. Fortunately, I was in a parking lot with no cars around so there was ample space for the car to come to a stop. Had I been on the highway or main road, I would have been in an accident as I would not have had enough distance to stop.

• 07/11/2024· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEMCrash

  The vehicle is equipped with a dual clutch transmission and has the EPA mandated auto-start feature. When you stop the vehicle and the engine shuts off and then remove your foot from the brake to go forward, the engine hesitates to restart and then starts, revs, dumps the clutch and propels you forward at a dangerous rate. My wife was trying to pull into the garage and stopped a little short. When she tried to move forward about a foot, the car started and lurched forward hitting the house. There is no way to disable the auto start feature and there are no buttons in the car. This is going to get someone killed when they are trying to make a left turn across traffic and first the car doesn't restart and then it starts and flies into traffic. I complained to BMW and they say this is the way the government mandates the car to be.

• 06/30/2023· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  This report is for a 2023 BMW x1 with a dual clutch transmission. I was driving on a four lane road with a 35 mph speed limit and attempting to make a left turn. I was stopped at the light waiting the oncoming traffic to clear to make the left turn (from the left most of the two lanes). There was a significant delay in the car moving after pressing the accelerator allowing for the oncoming traffic to get within a dangerous range before the car finally moved. The car did make the left turn quickly, but the delay in initiating the turn was quite notable. The care was in the "Personal" drive mode and the auto hold function was not activated, nor was the auto off engaged when stopped. I don't use the paddle shifters and the car was in Drive. The engine was running when the accelerator was pressed. I have noticed this delay to accelerate at other times with the car is in first gear (moving from a slowed or stopped position), but I have not yet reported to the dealer (but have seen discussion of this issue on online owners forums). The delay doesn't happen when the car is moving or beyond first gear. Acceleration is not impacted once out of first gear.

• 06/09/2026· SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  In November 2025, I was driving an errand on city streets in a neighborhood. Speed was approximately 30-35MPH. Two lane road. There were no hazards in the road and while I was descending down a hill, my forward collision/emergency braking system activating, causing my vehicle to come to a complete and full stop from road speed. This had happened several other times when reversing out of parking spots into traffic or driving position but since the speed was slow and I do have cross traffic/collision avoidance, I initially I assume it was related to surrounding vegetation and sensor sensitivity. The issue happened again in December 2025 but I was moving at a much slower pace. In May 2025, I had the BMW integrated braking system recall addressed (NHTS #24V1040034860200). However, per the NHTSAA website, it appears there was a subsequent recall/safety repair required for the exact same issue, NHTS Recall #24V739000. I was not aware of this; was not notified by the dealership nor BMW and it could correlate to this issue. On June 4, 2026, I took my BMW to the BMW of El Cajon dealership in order to investigate the issue, as well as to address a nail in a tire and a brake warning light. Prior to attending the appointment, I noted the second recall for the braking system. However, the dealership is not checking or simply stating that there is no open recall on my vehicle which does not correlate with the NHTSA website. I am pushing this issue up the administrative chain of command but am very concerned. The dealership is simply attempting to replicate the issue without further investigation and refused to check the computer system nor the equipment replaced in May 2025 to confirm that there are no mechanical/system failures. Had this issue occurred on a freeway, I would have been in HUGE danger. I request that the NHTSA look into BMW and, specifically, this dealerships handling of mandatory safety recalls.

  am writing to report a potential safety and fire hazard issue involving my BMW X1, along with ongoing electrical concerns I have experienced with this vehicle since purchase. Approximately two weeks ago, for the first time in three years, I needed to bring the vehicle in for an oil change. Due to my work commute of more than two hours each way, neither the BMW dealership near my home nor the one near my workplace was able to accommodate me within a reasonable timeframe.

When I asked for details, I was told it involved a “software update issue.” On May 18, 2026, I attempted to use the air conditioning again.

When I arrived at BMW service, I explained the symptoms to my advisor. He responded that the issue “sounded familiar” and stepped away to speak with someone else. When he returned, he explained that another customer had recently reported a similar issue involving a recall on a BMW M5, but stated that the BMW X1 did not currently have the same recall. Given the burning odor, ventilation failure, and the similarity to another BMW recall-related complaint, I believe this issue should be investigated further as a potential hazar
