The contact owns a 2022 BMW X6. The contact stated that while reversing at 5 MPH in the driveway, there was an abnormal dragging sound coming from the vehicle while turning the steering wheel.

Back Over Prevention · reported Aug 12, 2023
The rear sensor system design on the X6 does not work as described and the complaint was acknowledged by our BMW dealer “with nothing they can do”.

Had I not finally seen him and took evasive…
Service Brakes · reported Jan 25, 2023
2022 bmw x6. Consumer writes in regard to defective brake design. The consumer was perplexed on how bmw made their determination if the vehicle was never examined.
Unknown or Other · reported Aug 27, 2022

This only happens 15% of the time (estimated). I have taken it back to two different BMW dealerships a total of four times, having the vehicle off the road for over 5 weeks. I have notified BMW North America, as well. They all say the vehicle is operating as intended. I feel that the car adding power to the wheels when a driver is…
