The backup camera at night is very dark and unsafe. I can barely see anything. It’s a major safety issue even though sensors can warn you, I almost ran over my neighbor while backing out of the garage. My wife has a 2025 X5 that does not have this issue at all. I see online forums where tons of people are complaining about the same issue, making it very unsafe.
My 2025 BMW i4 has experienced two distinct but related tire safety issues involving abnormal wear and repeated structural failures. Issue 1: Extreme Accelerated Tire Wear The factory-installed tires on my new vehicle were fully worn out in approximately 4 months and ~5,000 miles. All four tires required replacement. This level of wear is far outside normal expectations, including for heavy EVs or performance summer tires, and indicates abnormal loading or alignment behavior. Issue 2: Repeated Structural Failures of Right Rear Tire After replacement tires were installed by the BMW dealer on 12/04, two separate right rear tires developed holes/structural failures within a short period. One failure occurred by 01/09, approximately 30 days after installation, while the tire was nearly new. Damage was located at the inner shoulder/inner sidewall transition area, not consistent with normal tread wear or road damage. The recurrence of structural failure on the same wheel position strongly
Nuna had a major recall for their rava convertible car seats as your organization is aware of. However, there are two main issues that I'm having that Nuna has refused to address nor do they have a viable solution for. The first is that with the recall fix which was new material they sent out, the harness button is covered by Fabric and when the rava is in rear-facing mode it becomes almost impossible to reach the harness release button. Nuna recommended using the leg rest to address the issue, however, the issue does still persist. In a time of emergency, it would be incredibly difficult to get the child out quickly , and normally it is just very difficult. I have attached image so you can understand what I'm talking about. The second issue is that the Fabrics that Nuna has issued for the recall do not match the Fabrics of the original purchased equipment. This is a huge problem because there are now mismatches in fabric types versus inserts and consumers paid for a certain type of fa
