1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2025

On [xxx], while my 2024 BMW X5 was parked and stationary in an uncovered lot in fort lee, NJ, a large crack suddenly formed on the windshield. The crack originated at the top edge and extended approximately 8 inches. There was no impact observed, and the windshield had no prior chips or damage. The vehicle was exposed to sustained outdoor temperatures near 100°f for multiple consecutive days due to an extreme heat dome over the region. I suspect a thermal stress fracture possibly related to glass quality or installation. This type of failure raises safety concerns about the structural integrity of the glass. I have contacted BMW and am awaiting their response. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2024

Center rear view mirror stopped working and was replaced by chapman BMW of chandler but was replaced with a small aftermarket mirror that is causing dangers images in the mirrors because it’s splitting the image with the non manufactured mirror they replaced in my vehicle. I have attempted to resolve issues with chapman BMW of chandler and BMW north american customer care but was unsuccessful in getting a new manufacturer stock mirror reinstalled in my vehicle. The morrow placed in my vehicle is obscuring the vision of all oncoming traffic at night which is putting me at serious risk of an accident. I am requesting a mirror directly from factory to match the mirror that came stock in the vehicle.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2024

The driver's side and front passenger's mirror has a reflection from the trim of the a/c vent and is obstructing my view. The dealership will not replace the trim under warranty. It is a new car. Other owners of the BMW have the same problem as I have researched this problem.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2024

- as we were driving down a largely empty highway (CA 50 near pollock pines, CA), we heard an extremely loud bang. We looked back and the large rear sunroof (the non-moving one) had exploded - the glass was crazed with shatter fragments and continued to audibly crackle for several minutes. No significant sections of the glass had fallen out, but there were small splinters of glass (< 1mm in size) all over the cabin including on our 4 month old in the rear seat. - the vehicle is currently at the dealer service center awaiting service. It is available for inspection on request. As far as I know it has only been inspected by me and the dealer service representative. - the explosive sound caused a significant distraction while driving, and the glass fragments that rained into the cabin resulted in a minor injury to my hand and posed a risk of internal and external lacerations to all of us. - at no point were there any warnings prior to the explosion. Afterwards, there were also no warnings, though the problem was obvious. There are several nearly-simultaneous reports of this on new X5s: https://g05. Bimmerpost. Com/forums/showthread.
