There are hundred of restraint system malfunctions in BMWs especially the 2020 to 2022. To a catastrophic hard impact collision to a fender bender could result in life altering injuries, paralysis, and death. I bought this vehicle to feel safe when driving. I am afraid to let me nineteen year old son drive it because if there is any kind of collision he or any passenger in the car would not be protected and this is covered by federal law. This needs to be recalled or I am going viral with what is going on and your agency is supposed to be number one to contact to make these automakers fix these. This is life or death.
