On July 4th, 2026 we were driving home in a storm. The windshield wipers failed while in the automatic setting, completely shutting off, creating a safety hazard. We pulled to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. Afther the reboot they had resarted, but agian failed within ten minutes. We pulled over again giving the car more time to cool/reset and contacted BMWs internal SOS service. They could not hear due to the rain coming down on the car. Eventually we were able to proceed home with the wipers on a low setting. We took the vehicle to the dealership. They were unable to reproduce the defect, calling it an anomally in one video.

am writing to report an incident involving my vehicle. While entering my driveway, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated and did not recognize that the garage door was closed. As a result, the vehicle collided with the closed garage door and subsequently struck the structural beam on the wall near the garage entrance. The impact was significant, and all six airbags deployed. At the time of the incident, I was driving, and my teenage son was seated in the front passenger seat. Both of us sustained minor injuries. However, the incident resulted in substantial damage to both the vehicle and the garage/property.

March 25, 2026Power Train

I had a rear-end collision on [XXX}. The car was scheduled for repair on 3/19/2026. On [XXX] at ~70,000 miles, my 2024 BMW i4 eDrive35 (VIN: [XXX] ) experienced a drivetrain malfunction with reduced speed. The dealership diagnosed an internally faulty A/C compressor with metal shavings contaminating the system and recommended replacement of the compressor, condenser, chiller, expansion valve, and system flush. BMW denied goodwill repair and my insurance claim was also denied. I have filed a complaint with the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and request NHTSA document and investigate this defect due to potential safety risk.
