Electrical System · reported Nov 9, 2026
My 2024 BMW X7—experienced a severe sudden unintended acceleration event. While attempting to back out of my parking space to straighten the vehicle, I put the car in drive and gently touched the accelerator. The vehicle immediately surged forward like a rocket and the acceleration was immediate, extreme, and completely unexpected. Despite my attempts to stop it, the vehicle continued forward, went over a brick ledge and at least 4 granite monuments and struck through the Arnold Monument building. Thankfully, no one was in the building. I believe this incident involved a serious mechanical…
Unknown or Other · reported Nov 2, 2026
I was driving appx 45 mph in good driving conditions at appx 9:30 am (no weather, no vehicles or debris in front of me, not utilizing cruise control, not distracted) when my vehicle showed Emergency SOS on my screen and began braking, and the entire vehicle turned off within 15 seconds or so of the initial warning/breaking. This was an unprompted event. I (luckily) was 3 minutes from BMW, waited appx 3 minutes, turned the vehicle back on and drove to the dealership. The vehicle's emergency interior lights were on, but no warnings on the dash. The vehicle is current with the dealerhsip.
Back Over Prevention · reported May 16, 2026
I was told this car has rear cross traffic warning when I ordered it from our local BMW dealer. After several "close calls" in parking lots, I took it into the dealer because it doesn't work like any of our other vehicles (Mercedes). I was told by the dealer that you have to be actively backing up and the car has to be immediately behind you in a very close proximity to the car before it will even alert you. There doesn't seem any active braking either. When you do a search on this issue with BMW's, it is a very common complaint of BMW owners. I believe this is a major safety issue with the…

Engine · reported Mar 16, 2026
The X7 engine shut down twice while driving. Both incidents took place in busy traffic, engine shut down with warning sound and error message flashed up on screen and disappeared so quick that no one can remember. As the result, the vehicle was stuck in the middle of busy traffic. Within less than 1 minute, the vehicle can be restarted and driven as normal. The vehicle was brought to BMW dealership since the 1st incident. Dealership implemented software update only. The 2nd incident happened roughly 7 months after the 1st incident. Currently it's with dealership again since the 2nd incident.…
