Recent 2024 BMW IX complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Vehicle Speed Control · reported Oct 23, 2026

My BMW experienced repeated drivetrain, chassis, rollaway and other electronic malfunction warnings. After the warnings appeared, the vehicle behaved unpredictably. On multiple occasions, after I released the brake pedal, the vehicle unexpectedly increased speed rather than slowing. On other occasions, while traveling approximately 55 mph, it suddenly slowed to about 20 mph, and pressing the accelerator firmly did not restore speed. These incidents created a serious collision risk, including while transporting my four young children. The vehicle was taken to BMW of Bloomington for inspection…

Back Over Prevention · reported Sep 18, 2026

The Parking Assistant malfunctioned. When Parking Assistant took over the vehicle, it reversed too quickly and slammed into an EV charger, causing damage to the rear of my vehicle and the EV charger. The rear cameras did not detect the fixed EV charger.

Structure · reported Aug 10, 2026

Date and Time: XXX at approximately 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Location: Northbound [XXX]. Vehicle: 2024 BMW iX. Occupants: Driver and driverâs son. Weather/Road Conditions: Very hot and Sunny, in the 97-degree temperature; gusting winds at about 17-miles/hr; the vehicle was traveling at normal highway speed. Incident Description: My son and I were returning home from Wine Valley Golf Club, located at [XXX]. I was driving northbound on [XXX] at approximately 60 mph.

Back Over Prevention · reported May 10, 2026

Recently purchased used iX and successfully used the Parking Assistant Professional about a dozen times to back into my home garage using 5-point maneuver (driveway layout visible from aerial photo from address provided with report; drove in straight passed spot on garageâs left side looking in, other SUV parked in right spot, back into perpendicular spot in garage). After recording a new 3-point path, I tried it for the first time. During that attempt, the SUV suddenly reversed too fast to stop before crashing into another car in the garage. The vehicle initially followed the recorded path…

Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Feb 23, 2026

The car in front of me did not put brakes on or slow down and hit a car that was slowed to a stop in front of her. I was behind her and hit by brakes and tried to avoid the collision. My brake assist did not work; my car did not alert me and did not try to help me stop. I was told when i bought the car that it did indeed have these safety features which failed me. I was not sited in the accident even though i did end up hitting the car in front of me which was now attached to two cars in front of her. She was at fault and the car she hit had video footage to prove her fault.
