CrashFiled: Dec 2025

While parking into a handicapped space, your car suddenly lurched forward about 4 feet instead of stopping, causing it to hit a parking block, shrub, signage, and an HVAC unit. The braking system appeared to fail, and the forward collision avoidance and backup prevention systems didn't activate as expected. This issue may require inspection of the brake system, sensors, and ADAS (driver assistance) components to determine why they didn't function properly.

Your brakes aren't responding smoothly when you press the pedal, even though no warning lights appear on your dashboard. BMW is aware of this issue through a recall (Campaign 24V104000) related to the electronic stability control and brake system, but replacement parts haven't been available since the recall started in 2024. The dealer hasn't been able to diagnose or repair your vehicle because the necessary parts aren't in stock yet.

Your 2025 BMW X5 is subject to a recall involving the electronic stability control and hydraulic brakes (NHTSA Campaign 24V104000), but the repair parts are currently unavailable from the manufacturer. You've been waiting longer than a reasonable timeframe for the recall to be completed, and BMW is aware of the delay. You haven't experienced any actual brake or stability control failures yet. The repair will likely involve replacing or reprogramming brake and stability control components once parts become available.

mediumSERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
CrashFiled: Jul 2025

Driving home on a two lane road that is joined by a side road at a 45degree angle. A woman ran the stop sign and suddenly appeared on my road right in front about 40-50 feet away. The BMW did not show any visual or audible warning and the forward collision mitigation system functioned in a substandard way not mitigating the crash into the woman’s drivers door. Damages amounted to 25.8k to my vehicle and took 48 days to repair at my local BMW dealer in Albany NY. BMW states to me that the system worked properly. If that was the case how come I had massive front end damage impacting about 30 mph. The BMW manual shows a frontal cross traffic intrusion and leads one to believe in the system. It is substandard and needs revision by BMW engineering.

It has now been a year since i picked up my 2025 X5, and I STILL have not been able to get it repaired. My dealer informed me that there is still no remedy for me car. It has now been a year of me owning the car and driving around with a recall on my brakes. This is ridiculous. Not no mention the fact that when i picked up this car, there was already a recall on them that my dealer did not make me aware of. BMW sold me a car with a brake recall and still hasn’t fixed it after a year.

I went to BMW of Atlantic City to purchase a BMW X5 2024 in April 2024. We ordered the 2024 vehicle and when we went back to sign the papers were told we were getting the first of the 2025 production- purchased on [XXX]. The dealer did not disclose that the 2024 was recalled for the Integrated Brake Module when we made the deal. They knew at the time there was a recall but did not disclose this information. I recently received a recall notice for my 2025 BMW X5. The dealer stated they do not have the part to fix the issue, and it is the same issue as the 2024's. I went to the dealership and asked them to take my vehicle back as I feel I was deceived. They offered me a price in which I would lose a substantial amount of money on a brand new car. Jeysy Velez - Ass. Finance Manager also stated the 2025 X5's being manufactured at this time, now have the new part in them. So they are fitting new vehicles with the correct part, sold me a vehicle that they knew had a defective part without disclosure. They have no idea when my brand new vehicle will be fixed. They also cannot tell me how many failures and / or accidents has been caused by this issue. The following day Sarah #6020 called me to tell me that they cannot buy my car back nor can they sell any recalled vehicles. So, I cannot sell my vehicle at this time. I stated they sold me a defective vehicle with the old defective part and should take it back. She said there is no remedy available at this time, I cannot sell my car, they will not tell me how many accidents or injuries from this recall. Sarah could not tell me when my car was manufactured or would not tell me. THEY KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL AND DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION. They knew they could not sell the 2024 we requested and switched it with the 2025 that was not officially part of the recall yet, but built it with a defective part. We purchased the car on [XXX] and it was manufactured on 4/2024 as per the label in the door. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

BMW leased me a defective 2025 x5 sDrive40i vehicle with a known brake defect on May 31, 2024. There is currently no fix or solution they claim.; however, they are currently building the exact same 2025 X5 model at their SC factory and shipping them. The vehicles produced the last 2 weeks are shipping to dealers for delivery to customers without a recall or stop sale order in place. BMW refuses to buyback my vehicle since they cannot tell me if/when they can fix the defective braking module that can substantially affect braking distance and also render dynamic stability control [VSC] inoperable which could lead to a crash and injuries to both occupants, other motorists, pedestrians, and/or property damage. I have made multiple phone calls to BMW without any update on when or if they can fix my vehicle. They knew of thus recall back in February of 2024 and leased me the vehicle in May 2024 and as of today, no remedy is available according to their claims. This is beyond a reasonable amount of time to fix my vehicle or buy it back.
