  LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING

  On multiple occasions since purchasing my vehicle in 10/22 the lane departure warning system on my 2023 BMW X7 has detected a lane departure and self corrected the steering wheel causing the vehicle to swerve when the vehicle was safely in the lane. The most recent event being 3/31/23. Sewell BMW in Grapevine Tx has attempted to fix this issue multiple times with no success. As of today, 4/5/23, my vehicle is currently at Sewell BMW attempting to fix this issue. Sewell BMW has been provided with a photo of the error message from my vehicle detecting multiple lane departures and turning off the lane departure system in my vehicle. On 3/31/23 I confirmed with management and service that my vehicle “should not be doing this”. Per Sewell BMW, BMW corporate is now involved with this issue. This is a huge safety concern and has the potential to cause an accident, injury, or death if not corrected properly.
