We are reporting a safety issue with the BMW X5 xDrive50e model year 2025. I purchased this car on December 9, 2024, from BMW of Pembroke Pines, 14800 Sheridan Street Pembroke Pines FL 33331. Within two months of purchase, we found that car has unintended acceleration while it is about to be parked at very slow speed. I reported this safety issue to BMW dealer in Pembroke Pines FL where I purchased the Car. The dealership kept this car of investigation. After about five weeks they returned the car with a comment on my invoice that car is working normally. On October 24, 2025, while on vacation to St. Augustine FL and parking at the visitor center SUV accelerated and hit the wall of the visitor center. All the airbags opened and saved us from serious injuries. The crash report of this incident is attached to this report. BMW failed to investigate this issue and put us and others at high risk.

Incident Date: January 9, 2026 Vehicle: 2025 BMW X5 xDrive50e Issue: car fire On January 9, 2026, while operating my 2025 BMW X5 xDrive50e (purchased new on June 14, 2025), a malfunction warning appeared on the infotainment screen. Immediately following this alert, the vehicle cabin filled rapidly with smoke. ​Upon stopping and exiting the vehicle, I observed flames coming from underneath the car. The fire quickly spread to the rear and trunk area of the vehicle. The car is likely a total loss. ​This fire created a life-threatening situation, as the cabin filled with smoke while the vehicle was in motion, requiring an emergency exit before the flames spread. ​A police report was filed on the date of the incident (01/09/2026); a copy of the report is pending. My insurance provider has been notified and is scheduled to inspect the vehicle early next week. Prior to this event, the vehicle had not been involved in any collisions and had no aftermarket modifications. ​The vehicl

While attempting to park forward into a handicapped parking space, the car lurched forward approximately 4 feet instead of braking/stopping. The braking system appeared to fail and the electrical/sensors/ADAS warnings did not engage. The vehicle drove over a cement parking block and struck a building shrub, signage and hvac unit.

The vehicle shut off and would not start while at a stop light. It is new: under one year old and still within warranty. The error was a “Restart not possible. Drivetrain fault” as shown in the picture. My safety as well as my passenger’s were put at risk due to being in a congested roadway and unable to move. After attempting to restart the system software, I then observed a “High voltage battery” warning. At that point my passenger and I exited the vehicle. As I was on the phone with emergency roadside assistance while out of the vehicle for about 10 minutes, the vehicle was able to start with the warning now displaying “Drivetrain. You can continue driving. Have the problem checked by your local service center.” I hesitantly drove the vehicle home. While parked, I checked about 15 minutes later and the issue resurfaced (as pictured). The problem has not yet been taken to the dealership. It will be tomorrow. The issue has not yet been inspected by any other represent

While driving my 2025 BMW X5 xDrive50e, a “Power Supply Malfunction – Stop Vehicle Immediately” warning appeared on the dashboard, advising me to pull over and call roadside assistance. The vehicle had previously been repaired for the same issue at Braman BMW in Miami, but the malfunction recurred the next day after getting it back. Prior to this, the car was out of service for 103 days following an accident due to BMW’s inability to supply a backordered acceleration sensor. The repair was completed in August 2025. The repeated “Power Supply Malfunction” messages raise concerns about the reliability of the electrical and hybrid power systems and potential loss of power while driving. The issue has been confirmed and documented by Braman BMW. The component remains under BMW inspection.

The rear cross traffic alert on this vehicle either does not work at all or, when it does work, it is ineffective in warning the driver. I brought the vehicle into my BMW dealer and they told me that it is operating as intended. In most cases, when backing out of a parking space or my driveway, I get no warning at all. In some cases, I did get some faint warning that was not obvious enough to actually get my attention. Many times, when I was backing up, I almost was hit by a passing car because I expected to get a warning and did not. There is a very large number of complaints about this problem on the internet. Unfortunately, I did not see these complaints before buying the vehicle. Had I known that this safety feature was ineffective in what it was designed to do, I would not have bought the vehicle. I am actually considering selling vehicle after only 7 months of ownership and taking a loss as a result of this problem. If there is a loss to be taken, it should be by BMW no
