Recall of thousands of BMWs starting February 12, 2024. My car was recently included in this with a "remedy unavailable." Spoke to BMW north america, including the recall department, corporate customer service, and multiple local BMW service centers. No remedy available and unknown when it will be. The dealers believe BMW is allocating parts based on VIN, but not sure. As of know, my car has serious brake issue that cannot be serviced. This is a family car for spouse and two children.

The contact owns a 2024 BMW I5. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V104000 (Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Service Brakes); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.

I was driving east bound on [XXX] in the Chicago, IL area at the exit before [XXX]. I was driving the speed limit of 55 mph. The car hit a pot-hole and the right front tire shattered, meaning that the rim of the tire snapped into two pieces along the circumference of the rim. I am drawing your attention to this occurrence because a rim of the wheel shouldn't snap into two pieces after hitting a nominal pot-hole driving at normal speeds. The tire, the rim both had to be replaced and work was needed to test the car for further damage and …
I was driving east bound on [XXX] near the [XXX] exit and using the fully automated driving (where I am watching the road to take over if necessary but the vehicle was maintaining speed and steering) I received the following errors: (I symbol error) Reduced driver assistance, (triangle error) Forward Collision Mitigation, (triangle error) Assisted Driving, (I symbol) Lane Change Assistant. Directly after receiving these errors the steering wheel was stuck at center and required an extreme amount of effort to turn the wheel in any direction. …
While driving in heavy highway traffic at approximately 5–10 mph, the vehicle suddenly displayed a red warning message and symbol in the driver’s gauge cluster indicating the car was shutting down. About 15–20 seconds later, propulsion was completely lost, although power steering and braking remained available. I attempted to change gears and restart the car by turning it on and off, but nothing worked. I activated the hazard lights since the car was stopped in traffic and posed a danger to surrounding vehicles. Because the vehicle would not r…
On May 3, 2026, while operating my 2024 BMW i5 on public roads, the vehicle suffered a sudden and complete loss of power steering with no prior warning. I could not turn the steering wheel at a stop. The instrument cluster simultaneously displayed: "Vehicle may roll. Brake manually," "Drive carefully. Changed steering effort," "Drive carefully. Chassis stabilization," and "Parking assistance malfunction." Auto Hold and the electronic parking brake's hold function were disabled, requiring manual brake application to prevent rollaway.

The car shut off unexpectedly while driving down a main road. There was first a power train warning, suggesting taking the car to the dealer and to drive cautiously. Then the car suddenly had an emergency power failure and the car shut completely off. Luckily I was able to coast into a subdivision. If I had been on a major highway this could have been deadly. The care then become inoperable and could not be turned on or even put in neutral. My car was dead in the middle of the road.

I was driving a brand-new 2025 BMW i5 electric car, just leased from dealer the day before. The car was at rest, waiting for traffic light to turn green. Then the car started to move forward, and suddenly hit the car in front with a big thrust. My foot was on the brake trying to stop the car, but I felt like being hit by another car behind me, twice, the second time being the final thrust. My wife on the passenger side also felt the car shaking before the collision. Looking back after the collision, there was actually no car hitting mine. I bel…
