There is an open recall on my 2024 BMW 760i and BMW has no fix over a year now and the NHTSA is doing nothing to pressure BMW to fix this critical issue. This is unacceptable as it puts all of us as risk and the NHTSA has to take this issue serioulsy, I am unable to sell this vehicle or get a new insurance and you folks have put no pressure on BMW to fix this. Please cc the head of the NHTSA and start putting pressure on BMW to solve this.
BMW issued a recall for several series including the BMW 760i x drive citing missing parts to the braking system which could cause the emergency braking and brakes to fail. The recall was issued 10 months ago. This was before I purchased the car. I did not receive a recall notice until a month ago. They did not disclose the recall at the time of the sale of the vehicle. I drove the car for 5 months before being notified. Before I received the recall notice I noticed some issues with the braking taking longer to stop. I then received the recall and contacted the dealer to fix the recall. They said they had not received authorization to fix the recall from BMW. I have not driven the car for fear of the brakes failing for over a month since I received the recall notice. This is a $146,000 car. The dealer said they have not been authorized by BMW to fix the recall. How do you issue a recall on expensive cars and expect people to continue to pay for a car they can't drive?.

Multiple brake system failures rendering the vehicle unsafe and undriveable. Been in the dealer 3 times and not resolved. Qualifies as a lemon vehicle. Car is not safe for my family and others on the road. Car was from BMW sterling in virginia. 100 miles on the clock - new vehicle lease.
Twice this month while driving normally and at a moderate speed a message flashed on the monitor that the emergency braking system was engaged. The car slowed dramatically and suddenly. Without thinking I braked or pressed the accelerator. Luckily, the car returned to normal speed. When the braking system engaged unsecured objects were thrown around. If a car was behind me I could have easlily been rear ended.

The recall for the integrated braking system has been on going since February with no remedy! this is unfair to us. They haven’t offered any kind of compensation in regards to this recall either.

Vehicle brakes gave out while driving and would not stop. System generated an email of the incident from manufacturer. Dealership informed that they have seen this before and its is a simple fix with a brake booster but no recalls are currently recalling the vehicle. The warning appeared as it happened.
As a consumer and also reading about other consumers having issues with the high pressure fuel pumps, the oem part which BMW is charging to fix this problem is over $6,000. The parts are only for the 2006 760i and they seems to be going out on a lot of people. Some consumers were lucky to have it go out during their warranty but some have to deal with this type of expense after wards. If this part seems to go out on a lot of 760i models in BMW there should be a recall out their to fix them. I can understand if there was a few but there are at least 20 just on the forum that I normally go to for answers to my questions. This seems to be an epidemic and BMW needs to take ownership of this, especially since this is only on one model and that the cost of this is overwhelming.
I bought a 2004 BMW 760i on 4,23,2013 with a 132530 miles from a used car dealer in reno nv , two days after buying the car I notice when I turn on the car it would idle ruff , the engine would rev it self and the car would turn off it self sometimes , while some time you turn on the car and everything works fine the biggest issues with the car is when you put your foot on the gas you never know how the car is going to respond some time it moves off to fast some times to slow , some time when you stop at a stop sign the car turn it self off , the forth day after owning the car I was driving about 15mph and the car turned off while driving , I turned the car back on drive around the parking lot till I felt it was safe to drive home which was about a mile away , on my way driving home going about 40-50mph the car turned off while going around a sight corner , I had no control of the steering wheel was locked up and could not move , the car went straight across the street and stop in some dirt am lucky there were no cars coming , I then turn it back on and drove the next quarter mile home , the next day I turn it on and drove it back to the dealer about 50 miles from my house and the car had no problem getting there , the car is at BMW right now and there telling me its a fuel pressure problem, I also did allot of research on line and found out its a very common problem with this model BMW, allot of people is bin having this same problem from the same year the car came out , I love BMW's I still got my 01 BMW x5 but the 7 series they are not a safe and reliable car , people pay allot of money for these cars and BMW need to take action for there faulty design.
