UNKNOWN OR OTHER — Filed 04/03/2025

While driving northbound on [XXX] near West Greenwich, RI with my wife and two young children, the front sunroof glass of our 2024 BMW X7 spontaneously exploded at highway speed. There were no overhead structures or nearby vehicles that could have caused an impact. Conditions were slightly rainy. Approximately one week before this event, the vehicle displayed a warning that the sunroof was “not initialized.” I followed the reset procedure, and the message cleared. It’s unclear if that alert was related, but the sunroof’s failure seems more than coincidental. The explosion caused loud noise, exposure to weather, and panic inside the cabin. Fortunately, the cloth sunshade was closed and minimized glass intrusion. We pulled off the highway, documented the damage, and temporarily sealed the roof using materials from a local hardware store. BMW has not yet confirmed whether this repair will be covered under warranty. We were forced to fly home due to lack of a functioning vehicle. I am reporting this because it was a serious safety issue that could have resulted in greater harm under slightly different circumstances. Please investigate this issue further as it appears similar to other spontaneous sunroof failures reported in recent years.

The contact owns a 2024 BMW X7. The contact stated that after test driving a similar vehicle, the contact decided to purchase a similar vehicle; however, while writing up the contract, the salesperson added the incorrect VIN on the sales contract. The contact had been receiving notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V104000 (Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Service Brake, Hydraulic); however, the VIN listed on the recall notice was for the vehicle test driven, not the actual vehicle that was purchased. The contact had not yet received a recall notification for the vehicle owned. The contact requested to be removed from the recall distribution list for the incorrect VIN, and for the correct VIN to be added. The local dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue but offered no assistance.

SERVICE BRAKES — Filed 03/04/2025

Cannot safety drive the car with the major recall on the braking system. I have slid through intersections trying to brake - thankfully no other cars were present at the time. No remedy or solution has been offered and BMW refuses to order the part or allow trade-in on the vehicle.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM — Filed 05/27/2024

2024 X7 with 13k miles on it roughly. Have had multiple drivetrain malfunction issues that caused car to not start. Dealer first did a software update which i dont believe fixed anything. second time the issue happened they said it was due to the car battery not being charged enough. car has had multiple issues related to low charge. BMW says its due to me not taking the car on long enough drives. However the charging on the car is inconsistent and faults related to the 48volt charging system which have stated (repair required soon) 224F8F were cleared by the dealer and not investigated. Car has many times exhibited low battery issues with electronics being sporatic and unreliable. car will sometimes charge battery on short drives and other times will not charge the battery on long/normal drives. charging is inconsistent. Many people on BMW forums have had drivetrain malfunction errors [XXX] and in some cases bmw has replaced transmissions. however i believe an investigation is warranted as the dealership in my case is just clearing codes and not repairing the car. i believe there is an issue with the charging system on the car thats causing errors in other modules/sensors based on all the issues i have had with this car. i have brought the car in for at least 10 service visits. BMW continues to clear codes and not perform thorough investigation and look at history of vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES — Filed 02/23/2025

I’ve had multiple issues starting with a left tail light/left brake malfunction. Took my vehicle into Sewell Grapevine and they replaced the left taillight and module. After picking up my vehicle, I began having issues with my dash within a couple days of the repair mentioned above. The assisted parking began turning on by itself when the vehicle came to a complete stop. This happened multiple times while driving. I have multiple videos. I uploaded a screen shot. The dash also turned black. Returned my vehicle to Sewell, they said they recalibrated the rear view mirror and checked the connections. On [XXX] while driving home, the vehicle had an inability to drive sos call emergency services malfunction come up multiple times. The car lost all power and the steering wheel was trying to correct the vehicle until you lifted your foot off the gas peddle. This also happened multiple times while spring in excess of 70 mph on the freeway. As of today, Feb 26, 2025, my vehicle is currently at Sewell in Grapevine, Tx with no plan from the dealership on how to correct these issues. This is the second X7, same body style, that I have owned with serious safety issues like this. Sewell Grapevine had to buy back the first vehicle as they were unable to repair the first one.
