NHTSA Complaint #11573705 — 2023 BMW I7

I purchased a new BMW i7 xDrive60 at the end of December 2023. There have been numerous software issues since I purchased the vehicle. Yesterday while driving at low speed, a car in front of me at a stop light slammed on brakes. I attempted to depress the brake but it was too late. My car collided with the vehicle in front. I did not initially see the driver ahead of me stop as I was looking to the side for oncoming traffic. All of the ADAS systems are activated in my vehicle and set to the most sensitive settings including the autonomous emergency braking/FCW which is set to “Early” response. My vehicle provided no warning of the impending collision nor did it attempt to brake on its own. There is an issue with the AEB functionality in the i7 that needs to be investigated. In addition to this issue, there’s also a problem with the automatic brake hold function when the car stops. Due to poor programming, after bringing the car to a stop by using regenerative braking the car then rolls backward or forward (depending on the slope) before the auto hold function applies the brakes. This is unlike any other car with this function including other BMWs we have owned. It increases the likelihood of a collision as the car rolls after coming to a complete stop. I have driven another electric BMW and experienced this issue. It is also mentioned all over various BMW owner forums. My vehicle cost $137,000 and did not even alert of a forward collision or attempt to brake on its own as it is supposed to. Furthermore the car is also supposed to detect and record video of any accidents that occur but the car did not detect it was in an accident. BMW/NHTSA needs to investigate the i7 and other EVs BMW produces. There is no logical reason the car did not alert about an impending collision or attempt to brake on its own. I also learned my vehicle is subject to a recall related to the integrated brake booster. I’m unsure if this could have played a roll in the car not stopping.
