While driving my leased BMW iX on the highway during heavy rain, the windshield wipers suddenly malfunctioned. The wipers began striking each other violently and then completely stopped working. This caused an immediate loss of visibility at highway speed. My pregnant wife was in the vehicle at the time, creating a serious safety risk. This appears to be a safety-related defect involving the windshield wiper system. I am requesting that NHTSA document and review this complaint for possible defect investigation.

Incident Date: [XXX] Problem Area: Electrical System / Charging System The DC fast charging (CCS) system on this 2023 BMW iX xDrive50 failed completely on [XXX] while traveling on a highway in Richmond, Virginia. The vehicle was unable to charge at an Electrify America station despite other vehicles — including an identical 2023 BMW iX xDrive50 — charging successfully at the same station. A second nearby ChargePoint station was also attempted without success. Hard restarts and software updates did not resolve the issue. The vehicle had to be driven home on remaining range with no ability to fast charge, creating a safety risk of range loss on a highway. The vehicle was subsequently dropped off at BMW of Rockville (MD) on February 24, 2026 for warranty repair. As of April 10, 2026 — 45+ days later — BMW has been unable to diagnose or repair the defect. The vehicle remains at the dealership. This defect renders the vehicle unable to fast charge, substantially limiting its safe range on any trip beyond local driving. BMW of North America has been formally notified.

I am reporting an incident involving unintended vehicle movement/acceleration in my 2023 BMW iX xDrive50. BMW of North America inspected the vehicle and claims no defect was found; however, they refuse to provide the Event Data Recorder (EDR) data or diagnostic logs used to reach that conclusion. The incident occurred around September 1, 2025. The vehicle exhibited behavior inconsistent with normal operation. BMW’s response relies on undisclosed internal data and post-incident testing that does not recreate the event conditions. I am requesting NHTSA review this matter, including BMW’s refusal to disclose vehicle data relevant to potential safety defects involving throttle, braking, Auto-Hold, or software-controlled torque systems.
Incident Date: August 20, 2025 Vehicle: BMW iX (2023 BMW iX XDrive 50 VIN - [XXX] ) On August 20, 2025, I was driving my BMW iX during heavy rain when the vehicle suddenly lost control and hydroplaned. Despite my efforts to steer and brake carefully, the vehicle skidded and hit the divider three times. Shockingly, none of the airbags deployed during the impact. I have experienced repeated traction and stability issues with this vehicle during rainy conditions, even while driving at low speeds. Both my husband and I have noticed that the car tends to hydroplane and lose grip on wet roads much more easily than other vehicles we have driven. I am very concerned that the BMW iX may have a serious design or safety flaw affecting its handling and stability in wet weather, as well as a potential defect with the airbag deployment system. I strongly urge BMW and the NHTSA to investigate this issue to prevent future accidents and ensure consumer safety.
