To:BMW of North America, LLC Customer Relations & Services P.O. Box 1227 Westwood, NJ 07675 Subject: Request for Compensation Due to Prolonged Safety Recall – 2025 BMW X7 (VIN: [XXX] ) Dear BMW Customer Relations, I am writing to formally raise my concern regarding my 2025 BMW X7, which has been subject to an open safety recall since August 2024. It has now been over 13 months without a remedy from BMW. This vehicle was leased through BMW Financial Services with the intent of being used as part of my business operations. Due to the unresolved recall and the associated safety responsibility issues, the vehicle has been restricted from use and rendered inoperable for its intended purpose. Despite this, I continue to make full lease payments, which has placed an unnecessary financial burden o

I am leasing a 2025 BMW X7 vin number ([XXX]) through BMW Financial Services. The vehicle has had an active federal safety recall since approximately February 2024, and as of today, the manufacturer has not provided a remedy to address the issue. The recall is listed on the NHTSA website but remains unresolved for over 17 months, despite my attempts to obtain information and updates from both the dealership and BMW directly. I believe this is a violation of my consumer rights under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and breach of warranty, as the vehicle has a known safety defect that the manufacturer has failed to repair within a reasonable time. I am requesting assistance in: 1.Reaching a resolution with BMW to either terminate the lease without penalty, or 2.Compelling the manufacture

Vehicle Information: Make: BMW Model: X7 Year: [2025] VIN: [XXX] Component/System Involved: Parking Assistance / Automatic Parking System / Sensors Summary of the Issue (Complaint): On [XXX], while using the Parking Assistance feature on my father's BMW X7 (VIN: [XXX]), the vehicle malfunctioned and caused an accident inside our home driveway. While the system was guiding the vehicle into the garage—as it has successfully done many times before—it suddenly and erratically turned the steering wheel to the right, failed to stop, and struck another parked vehicle. There were no sensor warnings, no audible beeps, and the system did not engage the brakes to avoid the collision. My father was attentive and had to manually slam on the brakes, but the impact had already occurred. We reporte
lighting 2 complaints shown
1. Both right and left headlights have a defect with visible obstructions to the naked eye. This issue causes a portion of the road to be blacked out while driving. I took the car back to the dealership and they claim the lights are designed as intended. The lights are obstructed or improperly installed from the manufacturer and are not responding properly. 2. When the high beams are activated, a black horizontal line appears in the middle of the headlights while driving. The horizontal black line moves up and down while driving and there is no way to removed the black line.
My complaint mirrors NHTSA ID Number: 11619581. I recently upgraded from a BMW X5 to an X7 and noticed significant dark spots on the road, severely reducing visibility in those areas. The headlight casing appears to have a design flaw, creating these dark, nearly invisible patches directly in front of the car. As the vehicle moves, the car’s vertical motion causes these dark spots to shift up and down, which is highly distracting and hinders the driver’s focus. With 25 years of driving experience, I have never encountered headlights that produce such a disruptive effect. When using high beams, the dark spots are lightened but headlights projects a horizontal dark line across the road, further worsening the distraction. BMW offers no adjustment options to mitigate this issue.

Subject: Request for Refund on Defective 2025 BMW X7 Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding ongoing issues with my 2025 BMW X7, which I purchased new. Shortly after purchase, I noticed that cavity fluid began leaking from all four doors and the tailgate. I contacted BMW, and they instructed me to take the vehicle to the service center at the dealership where I made the purchase. The dealership kept the car for 10 days, and when I picked it up, I noticed that the cavity fluid had damaged the paint on the bottom of the doors. I immediately brought this to the service representative’s attention, and they asked me to leave the vehicle again, sending it to the body shop for repairs. After 7 days, I collected the car, but unfortunately, within two weeks, the c

A warning message appeared the following day after purchasing the car. The car stopped functioning while driving on the highway 70+ mph. The car started to shake violently and a-lot of alarms went off. I barely managed to pull over on the side of the interstate. I waited for 10 minutes before I could get the car to start again. I only had the car for 3 days. This problem persisted so I exchanged it for a different car. The X7 would turn off on its own and it kept doing the same thing putting me and my children in perilous situations. This message popped up multiple times before the car stopped functioning properly. “You can continue driving. Chasis function restricted. If the problem recurs, have it checked by your service center”. I did not feel safe in the vehicle especially with ch
seatbelts 1 complaint shown
The occupant sensing lights and seatbelt buckle indicator lights and associated alarm in case a person unbuckles while in motion are not present and not working for the third row of seats. The third row position indicators are not present in the dash where all other seat positions are. For all other seats the equivalent position turns green when buckled , and an alarm is triggered if the seatbelt is unbuckled. In my previous generation X7, this worked as intended with all 7 positions available on the display and all 7 positions with the alarms. I have asked BMW who said this is not present on this generation, but opened a repair engineering inquiry after evaluating other models of the same generation. I also consulted online BMW forums and this impacts all other X7’s of the same gener
steering 1 complaint shown
BMW have designed the steering wheel adjustment with a feature that is a fundamental flaw and safety issue.They claim " to ease entering and exiting the vehicle, the steering wheel moves to the upper position - this is true and good. HOWEVER, THE DO NOT MENTION THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO RETRACTS INTO THE DASHBOARD TRAPPING THE DRIVERS LEGS UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL - THIS WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE (POSSIBLY FATAL) FOR THE DRIVER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. This feature cannot be over-ridden and is activated as soon as the driver's door opens. I have contacted BMW Board of Directors and Senior Management and they refuse to change this feature. The retraction makes NO sense and benefits no-one and nothing. It is a design fault and dangerous. A simple two line code

Subject: Formal Complaint – Safety Issue, Repeated Repair Failure, and Dealer Negligence (BMW X7) To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal complaint regarding a serious and ongoing safety issue involving my BMW X7 (VIN: [XXX] ), as well as repeated failure by an authorized BMW dealership (Fields BMW Winter Park, Florida) to properly diagnose and repair the vehicle. Since purchase, the vehicle has exhibited a persistent defect involving both rear tires losing air on a daily basis. This condition requires constant manual refilling and repeatedly triggers warning alerts on the vehicle dashboard. Despite bringing the vehicle to the dealership no fewer than five times for the exact same issue, the problem remains unresolved. This represents a clear failure to repair a recurring defect, and
