Defroster/defogger/hvac System problem #1

While driving, the information led screen on the car flickered and went black within a second. Other electric components malfunctioned as well, e. G. Radio, air conditioning/heating. Obviously, the cameras and safety systems associated with the screen also did not work. There was no warning that this was going to happen and, without these safety features, I felt that I was at a greater risk. The next day, I took the car to a BMW dealership, and was told that the head unit high was malfunctioning due to corrosion. The car has just under 51,000 miles and the unit should have been insulated against any moisture (the car was never flooded). I feel that this is a manufacturing defect that has put me, as the driver when it occurred, at risk.

Sun/moon Roof Assembly problem #2

The contact owns a 2023 BMW X5. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 mph, the sunroof inadvertently exploded. No warning lights were illuminated.
