STRUCTURE:BODY

Date and Time: XXX at approximately 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Location: Northbound [XXX]. Vehicle: 2024 BMW iX. Occupants: Driver and driver’s 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. A large dump truck approached and passed in the opposite southbound lane at an estimated similar speed. As the vehicles passed, the air displacement and wind gust from the dump truck caused my vehicle to shake noticeably. Instantly at the same time, I heard a loud popping sound from the rear upper portion of my vehicle. Looking behind me, I saw that the rear upper exterior body trim had detached and was lying in the roadway. Immediate Response and Safety Actions: I reduced speed, pulled over when it was safe to do so, and stopped the vehicle. After assessing the situation, I safely turned around and traveled southbound toward the location where the trim had detached. I activated the vehicle’s emergency flashers and stopped on the highway shoulder near the debris. I then retrieved the detached trim from the northbound travel lane. No collision occurred, and neither occupant reported an injury. However, entering the roadway to retrieve the part exposed both my son and me to a serious safety risk from passing traffic. Vehicle Damage and Suspected Cause: The rear upper exterior body trim is detached from the vehicle and requires inspection and repair. The trim separated during normal highway operation without contact from another vehicle or object. Because the part detached immediately after wind pressure from a passing dump truck and there was no collision, I am concerned that the failure may be INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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 garage’s 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, then paused during first reverse because of an apparent obstruction (car approaching leaves on bush along driveway). After manually moving the SUV backwards a few feet along path to clear obstruction, I attempted to resume the maneuver. The screen showed the words “Resume path” (think there were up to 4 words, but this was only option on right side of parking interface), although flickering to say “Show path.” The vehicle then began to reverse. It was only ~6 feet, so wasn’t worried about acceleration for about half a second or so. Car continued to accelerate in reverse so fast that when I realized it wasn’t going to stop for the other car I had only got my foot on the brake when it hit the other car. Photos: IMG_3223 is iX showing bumper damage. IMG_3220 & -21 are other car, with bumper scratches and broken taillight. The event happened too quickly to allow braking, and the obstruction sensors didn’t even beep, let alone stop the routine. Damage to both cars appears to be relatively minor, but if a person had been standing near the other vehicle, they would have been seriously injured or killed. This behavior appears similar to NHTSA Complaint Nos. 11589034, 11569633, and 11546743. I bought this car in part because of the automated parking features that I am now too terrified to use.
