During normal street and highway driving operation, the whole console and digital warning systems shutdown causing safety issues while driving.
I received a warning on the dashboard that the tires needed inflating and that I should not drive the car over 80 miles per hour. When this happened the communication system on the car failed. I could not use the telephone or the direction feature. I do not know if other parts of the car also failed. When the tires were re inflated, these other features returned. This has happened twice. (In addition the tires needed reinflating on one or two other times.) BMW offers a courtesy service to reinflate the tires so that they don't maintain a record of the problem and they are unable to add a note to their service record to document the problem. (BMW San Francisco).
DRIVING AT 40MPH AN ALERT ERROR FOR STEERING AND BRAKING WARNING CAME UP AND STALLED THE CAR TO ZERO MPH. A REVIEW OF OTHER INTERNET COMPLAINTS ON BMW OWNERS WAS SIMILAR. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?
THE AUTOMATIC LIFTGATE WOULD CLOSE ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I'M REACHING FOR ITEM(S) DEEP IN THE CARGO AREA. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT SINCE MY FEET ARE UNDER THE HANDS-FREE/ KICK SENSOR FOR THE AUTOMATIC LIFT GATE THAT THAT WOULD ACTIVATE IT. HOWEVER, THE LIFTGATE WOULD ALSO OPEN OR CLOSE WHEN I'M NOT UNDER THE SENSOR SUCH AS FILLING UP FOR GAS OR PUTTING THE CAR COVER ON. FORTUNATELY, THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE PURCHASE IN 2018, BUT DEALER SERVICE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SITUATION.
