Nhtsa recall number24v608 it is been a year already and there is no remedy available for the recall yet. Scheduled multiple appointments with dealer and they don't have a remedy yet. I am concerned to drive the vehicle as I drive daily and can feel excessive heating in engine.
I have an open recall on my vehicle that has not yet been repaired, and I’ve reached out to BMW multiple times and still haven’t received a letter from them regarding this recall! if the vehicle can potentially catch fire then why would they think this isn’t a priority due to safety concerns!!!!.
As I was pulling into my assigned parking spot in my building complex. Both me and my 6yr old daughter were in the vehicle. As I was pulling into my parking spot and went to brake and put my vehicle in park- my brakes locked, gave out and the vehicle continued to proceed forward. As it proceeded forwarded, I immediately kept trying to brake- but because the vehicle is all wheel drive it accelerated forward pushing through the concrete parking bumper guard located on the floor of the parking spot. Because of the acceleration, the vehicle crashed into the storage units connected to the building structure. I immediately tried reversing and forced the car into park without braking. Thankfully my daughter was still in her car seat. It was terrifying and we were in so much panic and scared. My neighbors came to our rescue- because I was distraught knowing that we had literally just come off of the highway and that could have happened at any point with my child in the car. My insurance is able to cover the damages - but, the auto repairs do not consist of checking the brakes/malfunction. I cannot see myself staying with this vehicle and putting the safety of myself and daughter in jeopardy. I am praying that BMW takes the necessary measures to assist in addressing this.

Faulty mechatronics causing car to shift into park.
The rear view camera fails to engage often when backing up. It is always slow to turn on, however there are times when it would not turn on at all. More concerning is that the service advisor was not concerned about it and dismissed it saying that the system gets automatically disengaged when the camera is dirty and that he knows "because he hears this complaint all the time".
