Vehicle: BMW iX (2023 BMW iX XDrive 50 VIN - [XXX] ) On August 20, 2025, I was driving my BMW iX during heavy rain when the vehicle suddenly lost control and hydroplaned. Despite my efforts to steer and brake carefully, the vehicle skidded and hit the divider three times. Shockingly, none of the airbags deployed during the impact.

The vehicle accelerated suddenly and quickly. This cost the front end to strike the deck and steps to the deck of my home. It also damaged the lower front end of the vehicle. https://plaincars.com/make/bmw-ix https://plaincars.com/make/bmw-ix#complaint-2129966 Sat, 13 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT 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 https://plaincars.com/make/bmw-ix https://plaincars.com/make/bmw-ix#complaint-2114838 Mon, 28 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT On November 16, 2023, I was driving the vehicle in the far left lane of the freeway when, without any warning, the vehicle lost propulsion and would not accelerate. It also lost power assisted steering AND power assisted braking. I had to decelerate with no power brakes while attempting to safely cross 3-4 lanes to the nearest freeway exit with no power steering, while maintaining enough momentum https://plaincars.com/make/bmw-ix https://plaincars.com/make/bmw-ix#complaint-2114839 Mon, 28 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT On November 16, 2023, I was driving the vehicle in the far left lane of the freeway when, without any warning, the vehicle lost propulsion and would not accelerate.
