2025 BMW IX

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2022-2025 IX, 2023-2024 I7, and 2022-2023 i4 vehicles. The high-voltage battery cell modules may not have been assembled properly, resulting in stress on the module frame and possible module failure.

Driver was in parking space/nearly fully parked (her foot was on the brake coming to a full stop and about to place the car in park), when the car’s self drive function or cruise control engaged on its own. It then rolled up the hill, and into the trees. Thankfully no one was hurt (3 people in the car - 2 adults and 1 child) and the car stopped while leaning on a tree, otherwise it would have rolled over. She never uses cruise control, nor any of the self drive functions on the car at all.

My 2025 BMW iX xDrive50 has experienced three separate random shutdown events while driving in active traffic. These shutdowns occurred without warning and caused sudden loss of vehicle functionality. One of these shutdowns resulted in a rear-end collision. The vehicle has been brought to BMW of Carlsbad three separate times. Each time, the dealership stated no defect could be found and blamed the driver for “user settings.” A BMW of Carlsbad service advisor later sent written messages sta

On October 17, 2025 at approximately 3:15 PM in the parking lot of a shopping mall at 2040 Lomita Blvd, Lomita, CA, our 2025 BMW iX M60 suddenly accelerated forward unintentionally while the driver was attempting to park. The vehicle made a loud “whirring” sound as if the motor engaged on its own, and it lurched forward rapidly without any acceleration input from the driver. The car traveled only about 2 feet before crashing into a wall in front of the parking space. All front and side airba

At low speeds, the cruise control engages, causing the vehicle to accelerate. Stepping on the brake disengages the cruise control as it normally would. I have had this leased vehicle since March 2015. I have reported the issue 4 times to the dealer. Each time they interrogate the computer and tell me there are no errors. I have researched the internet, and there are numerous complaints about this potentially life-threatening issue. "Point of interest." This is the same dealer who insisted my BMW

On [XXX] I went to start the car and received warnings about Manual Braking being engaged and to contact roadside service along with other notifications and the car wouldn't power on. After numerous attempts the car powered up and alerted me Drive Carefully Fault. I began to drive slowly through a parking lot and it took over 200 lbs of pressure to bring the car to a complete slow stop. I pulled over and turned off the car. I tried rebooting the car and did so assuming it was a bug in the sys

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION The car accelerated unintentionally at 25 mph just before a red light at an intersection. It simultaneously started a bonging alarm, and showed a large red triangle on the dash telling us to pull over and to not drive the car thank God we were able to do before the intersection as we would have crossed a busy intersection at 30mph while we had a red light!!

The brake pedal is way to close to the gas pedal, when I apply the brakes I often hit the gas pedal causing the car to jerk forward. I have reported this problem to BMW and to my local dealer. I took the car to the dealer and was told the car is fine. I have been driving for 40 years and have never experienced this problem nor have I ever reported a problem. However I am experiencing this problem on a daily basis. Other cars are at risk when both pedals are pressed at the same time. The car

I have backed up from my dirveway everyday for a month and the rear cross traffic nevered worked as advertised.

The display was showing an error "drivetrain malfunction" and we could not drive the car. This looks like a common software problem with BMW IX
