My 2024 BMW iX xDrive50 intermittently fails to deploy the rearview windows upon startup. Restarting does not help; they open only after driving above ~25 mph. This typically occurred once or twice a month based on my recollection. I purchased the vehicle in late May 2024, so I had it for only five months before the accident. More concerningly, the vehicle sometimes shifts from Drive (D) to Brake (B) mode without input. I noticed this behavior several times before a crash on 10/27/24, and again after the crash. On 10/27/24, while in B mode, I slowed at an intersection with ~30 feet of space ahead. I was practically at a stop and began to inch forward when the car suddenly accelerated and I lost control, rear-ending the car in front. No automatic braking or warning systems activated. BMW North America inspected the vehicle on 12/20/24 and later concluded that no...
I was driving on Single Pedal Drive on a freeway with the 2024 BMW IX, there was a slow down ahead of me. I removed my foot from the pedal and waited for car to slow down, but car didn't slow down enough. Then I slammed the brakes hard, but the brake didn't engage. In fact, brakes were pushed back against my foot. I was slamming the brakes as hard as I could, but i couldn't feel the brakes letting me me bottom out . This was a very traumatic experience. I have been able to reproduce it once again, but not always. But BMW dealership doesn't want to accept any problem. Thankfully, I had slowed down, otherwise, this is a very dangerous problem. Please investigate this. This has caused a big cost burden for me and also quite a traumatic experience.
I am reporting a serious safety failure in my 2024 BMW iX related to the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems. Recently, my vehicle failed to detect a slowing car ahead, and the emergency braking system did not engage, resulting in a rear-end collision. This malfunction has caused financial loss due to repair costs and raises severe safety concerns, especially since my infant child was in the vehicle at the time. A functional AEB system should have prevented this accident. Given recent BMW recalls for braking system issues, I am deeply concerned that this failure is part of a broader defect. I urge NHTSA to investigate potential system defects in the 2024 BMW iX to prevent further accidents and protect lives. Please advise on the next steps for escalating this safety concern.
Car was in auto park at traffic light and it started to drive and hit the car in front. Brakes or front collision did not stop the car.
