2024 BMW X5 with 22k miles, leasing the vehicle. Had the vehicle in the dealer, herb chambers BMW of boston a few months ago to fix a brake recall and change the oil. Dealer said they fixed both, and also said they needed the vehicle all day to fix the brakes, so they got me an uber and then dropped off the vehicle when it was completed. Fast forward to today, October 2, 2025. Drive train warning came up when driving the vehicle, told to find a safe place to stop, within 10 seconds the vehicle lost most of engine power. Was able to stop in a safe location, contacted roadside assistance, numerous warnings came up on screen. Roadside assistance said to start and stop the vehicle and this cleared the message, said that vehicle was safe to drive, it was probably just a sensor issue that put the vehicle into some type of safe mode (what a horrible thing to do, an enormously unsafe as the operator should determine this). Two days later, another drive train warning and the vehicle on it's own moved the transmission into neutral while driving at 30mph. This issue with going into neutral on it's own, I found out through speaking with my wife, that this happened a couple of week prior as well. I called road side assistance and had the vehicle towed, called the dealer to get a loaner as this vehicle is not safe to drive in it's current condition. After this issue, I looked my vehicle up by VIN and saw that the brake recall wasn't fixed yet to my surprise. When I spoke to the dealer today as the vehicle was being towed there with this drive train issue, I said were my brakes for this recall fixed, they said the software issue was fixed, but not the mechanical issue. I said please fix this brake recall while in there looking at this drive train issue. Vehicle is clearly not safe to drive in this condition, and you can use your imagination if this happened while driving at highway speeds or various other scenarios, not good at all.

Nhtsa issued a recall (#24v-104) in Feb of 2024. As yet (1 1/2 years later), no remedy is available. How long must I be at risk of a motor vehicle accident before a solution is available?.

I am writing to formally report an issue with my vehicle involving a persistent parking brake malfunction. The yellow parking brake indicator light remains on and will not reset. After researching the issue, I’ve found that this is a common problem among other vehicle owners of the same make and model. The malfunction appears to be related either to a faulty sensor or the entire parking brake module assembly, and the cost to diagnose and repair can exceed $2,000, which places a significant burden on owners for what appears to be a widespread defect. Given the importance of the parking brake system for vehicle safety and reliability, I believe this issue warrants further investigation and potentially a recall or service campaign.

Test dsc hydronic unit. Drive carefully! take to your nearest dealer! brake booster malfunction on recall but my VIN number doesn’t show up on recall.

The car suddenly dead in the intersection when driving the car, then can’t start the car, can’t shift the gear, stay in neutral position all the time. A message came out staying “brake problem “! after around 20 minutes, system messaged us “problem solved, ok to drive “, so we were able to start the engine and start driving as normal. I called service center let them know the scenario but got no answer. After 4 days same problem reoccurring again, this time car dead during left turn, fortunately no car hit our car (we were having 2 babies in the car). A lot of messages showed up, still mentioned “brake problems “, and after 15-20 minutes, message us again - “problem solved, ok to drive “. We have aaa tow the car to BMW service center later since we didn’t feel the message was reliable. The service center identified the problem and replaced the mechatronics control unit and returned the car to us after 7 days. I am concerned about the car’s system message, it’s mentioned “problem solved, ok to drive “, the message could misleading and have been fatal if we continued driving the vehicle to freeway. After we got vehicle back we were still very cautious about the car. I sent my concern to new central BMW alhambra CA about one month ago -to the service manager and requested a written explanation of why this faulty message occurred and how BMW engineer plans to prevent this from happening again. But there was no answer so far. There were a “brake problem recall” and a “emission recall “for this vehicle and we went through the procedure already before these 2 brake problems.

I have recently experienced sudden phantom braking on my vehicle on three separate occasions, following a recall on a brake module that was taken care of at the dealer. Each time this happened at highway speed for no apparent reason. The dealer, BMW of buffalo has had the car for over a week without finding the problem. They have been in constant touch with corporate, trying to diagnose this. No luck! I will not drive this vehicle, nor can I in good conscie nce trade it in to another dealer. I could be held liable. I'm wondering what you may have on record since there are reports on the web of similiar occurances.

I received a recall notice for integrated brake failure on February 2024, but the manufacturer has still not provided a remedy or parts as of July 4th 2025. I contacted the dealer and was told there is no eta for the repair. I believe this delay is unreasonable, and I am concerned about the safety implications of continuing to drive the vehicle.

Driving home on a two lane road that is joined by a side road at a 45degree angle. A woman ran the stop sign and suddenly appeared on my road right in front about 40-50 feet away. The BMW did not show any visual or audible warning and the forward collision mitigation system functioned in a substandard way not mitigating the crash into the woman’s drivers door. Damages amounted to 25. 8k to my vehicle and took 48 days to repair at my local BMW dealer in albany NY. BMW states to me that the system worked properly. If that was the case how come I had massive front end damage impacting about 30 mph. The BMW manual shows a frontal cross traffic intrusion and leads one to believe in the system. It is substandard and needs revision by BMW engineering.

Attached is a detailed description of my complaint. I'm attaching it because it is more than 2,000 characters.

My 2025 BMW X5e was repaired under recall 24v?104 for the integrated brake system. Before this recall, the vehicle did not have any braking hesitation or drag issues. After the recall repair was done (replacement and reprogramming), the vehicle now shows hesitation to move forward after releasing the brake pedal from a complete stop, as if the brakes are still dragging. This creates a safety concern when merging into traffic or driving in stop?and?go conditions. The dealer is unable or unwilling to resolve the issue. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate this recall fix as it may have introduced a new defect.

Since February 2024, our vehicle has had an open recall for the integrated brake system, potentially affecting braking performance. BMW refuses to schedule a repair, claiming parts are unavailable. In reality, when they do have parts, they prioritize fixing vehicles for sale on their dealer lots while leaving current customers in potentially unsafe cars.

As I was turning into a disabled parking space the vehicle speed suddenly increased speed by itself and hitting the brakes had no effect on the speed. This caused the vehicle to hit a concrete pillar that held the handicap parking sign.

Considering the open recall and lack of repair after 12 months for the braking system we want to give the vehicle back to the manufacturer. It's a major safety concern and we have small children.

Formally reporting a serious and recurring safety issue with my 2021 BMW X5. Over the past five months, I experienced three separate incidents where the vehicle abruptly stopped while driving, each time displaying a red car warning light on the dashboard. The red malfunction symbol was similar to the below image (found online) description of the issue: each of these terrifying safety experiences occurred while the vehicle was in motion—all on surface streets—the car suddenly came to a jarring and immediate stop on its own without my input or applying the brakes. There were no cars close to or in front of me or debris in the road that would require the car to stop to avoid impact. The red car icon appeared on the dashboard (commonly associated with collision warning or automatic emergency braking systems). The abrupt stop caused my seatbelt to constrict, jarring of my neck and ongoing concern that it will happen again. Thankfully, no accident occurred, but the abrupt stops could have easily caused a serious or fatal accident, especially under highway conditions. My concerns: this represents a serious safety hazard not only to me and my passengers but to other drivers on the road. The issue appears to be a malfunction in the automated safety or integrated systems, possibly involving the forward collision warning or automatic emergency braking systems. My local BMW dealership (gwinnett place BMW) has given me an estimate of $480 to perform 2 hours of scans/diagnostics to inspect the vehicle. No loaner car or transportation offered. This is a known issue and documented in online forums and comments. I have lost confidence and trust in my vehicle and feel unsafe. For a $70k automobile that should not be the case. Requested action: I am requesting BMW investigate this matter urgently, outline next steps at no charge since multiple reports exist of similar incidents, and provide a clear resolution, including any necessary recalls.

2020 bmx X5 xdrive40i experienced recall issue 24v-104. Year of vehicle is not included in recall 24v-104. I did not receive a notice of recall issue 24v-104. This recall should be extended to additional years of this model of vehicle. Was driving in traffic on a state highway. Utilized breaks to stop the vehicle and brakes failed. Received warning notices through the cars system that aligned exactly with the errors expected to be received in recall 24v-104. If I had been driving at a higher speed, I would not have been able to stop the vehicle and would have crashed into the vehicle in front of me at a high rate of speed, causing grave harm to myself and any individuals in the car ahead of me - and potentially any other car/individuals that were around me. The vehicle was inspected by an independent service center, which confirmed that brake failure was identical to current recall 24v-104. Auto shop only found out about the recall because they attempted to order new part and was informed that part could not be sold due to recall. Recall did not appear when VIN was searched. The problem was confirmed by the independent service center. There were no prior warnings, messages, or other systems of this problem prior to the failure and this is the first time it was experienced.
