All Forward Collision Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking Complaints
I am reporting an incident involving unintended vehicle movement/acceleration in my 2023 BMW iX xDrive50. BMW of North America inspected the vehicle and claims no defect was found; however, they refuse to provide the Event Data Recorder (EDR) data or diagnostic logs used to reach that conclusion. The incident occurred around September 1, 2025. The vehicle exhibited behavior inconsistent with normal operation. BMW’s response relies on undisclosed internal data and post-incident testing that does not recreate the event conditions. I am requesting NHTSA review this matter, including BMW’s refusal to disclose vehicle data relevant to potential safety defects involving throttle, braking, Auto-Hold, or software-controlled torque systems.
Our BMW iX was in B mode at a complete stop behind another parked car at the car wash. After about five minutes, the car took off at full acceleration and rear ended the car in front of us The BMW iX continued another 15 - 20 feet despite my attempts to repeatedly stepping on the breaks.
