Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

2022 BMW 430i xDrive Rear Differential leak and required complete replacement. My vehicle had less than 69,000 miles at the time and my mechanic stated that this was the second 2022 BMW that had to have a differential replaced. This issue was first confirmed by the BMW dealership December 2025 but my vehicle's warranty just expired (less than 500 miles over the warranty). The mechanic mentioned that it's highly unusual to need a differential replaced. They usually last the lifetime of the vehicle especially with my car being a 2022.

There are hundred of restraint system malfunctions in BMWs especially the 2020 to 2022. To a catastrophic hard impact collision to a fender bender could result in life altering injuries, paralysis, and death. I bought this vehicle to feel safe when driving. I am afraid to let me nineteen year old son drive it because if there is any kind of collision he or any passenger in the car would not be protected and this is covered by federal law. This needs to be recalled or I am going viral with what is going on and your agency is supposed to be number one to contact to make these automakers fix these. This is life or death.

The rear vision camera deactivated itself when the park assist system is turned off. No image is provided to the driver. This makes it harder to see what is behind the vehicle when reversing and could lead to an accident. This can occur in the middle of a reversing event.
