I was driving my car for about 7 min (in 0 degree weather) and it overheated and just shut off on the road. I noticed it was over heating and headed to the repair shop. It stalled again. Even after apparently it was fixed the engine continues to act like it wants to stall. It’s says malfunction, but codes do not show up in the system. They keep telling me it’s fine and they fixed it, it keeps wanting to shut off.

I went to start my vehicle one morning and the cars DSC light and Steering lights were on. The steering wheel had loss of power as the electronic steering went out. A got a group of warning messages. Warnings include: Cont. driving possible: Chassis stabilization, Increased Steering effort: Drive carefully to the closet service station, Driving Assistance support reduced, Pedestrian Warning was disabled, Frontal Collision warning disabled, Cruise Control disabled, Heads up display disabled. I also bought a 2017 BMW 540i car from a dealer and within the 2nd day the vehicle had the same problem while trying to park the car had the same problems. I took it to a BMW service center and the estimate was $7400. I was able to return the car because it was within the 5 day window for returns.

The contact owns a 2019 BMW 530I. The contact stated that the vehicle's automatic breaking system would suddenly activate without warning or with a loud screeching alarm type noise before it occurs. The automatic breaking system would also fail to activate when coming close to items and or other vehicles where the automatic breaking system should have caused the vehicle to come to a stop. The failures occur intermittently. The contact contacted the dealer who had not repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.

I WAS ON A TOLL ROAD/FREEWAY OVERPASS CONNECTING TO THE 91 FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC GOING 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED BREAKING ON ITS OWN (NO CAR DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME). I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT WAS UNABLE TO. MY CAR CONTINUED BREAKING AND SLOWING, THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER, AND FINALLY I COASTED TO THE 91 FREEWAY WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO LOSE CONTROL OF ONE'S CAR IN SPEEDING FREEWAY TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO WARNING SOUND OR WARNING LIGHT, EXCEPT FOR THE 3 RED PEOPLE HEADS THAT INDICATE YOUR BACK SEAT PASSENGERS NEED TO FASTEN THEIR SEATBELTS, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BACKSEAT PASSENGERS. I CALLED IRVINE BMW TO REPORT MY CONCERN AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "I CHECKED WITH A BMW GENIUS WHO SAID YOUR CAR IS FINE SINCE THE LIGHT IS NO LONGER ON.

I purchased a used BMW from Apolo Auto in New Jersey around July 2021 the car was in perfect condition and it did not appear to have any mechanical or electrical defects. However, the prior owner had many aftermarket things done to the car and that was a big selling point as it was upgraded with low miles. After purchasing the vehicle some strange things started happening but I didn't pay close attention, and then my son was kidnapped from my home May 2022. It was at the beginning of June 2022 that I noticed we were being tracked, and private conversations inside the vehicle were publicly being communicated. I found evidence of infrared and bluetooth technology as well as GPS tracking technology and specific infrared technology is in the ceiling of the vehicle. The devices are close together & many. The vehicle was vandalized several times, broken into and the seatbelts in the back were pushed inwards so that I couldn't place my child into a proper seatbelt. I reported this to the insurance company and BMW in PA failed to repair the vandalism and they also failed to remove the tracking devices which I recently found. The highway violence consists of many vehicle swerving into my lane many times one after another, and I've almost crashed my car several times. Many instances have happened where motorcycles have pulled up next to the car at a stop light to rev up their engines to the point where my son beings to cry and it happens often. The consistently and level of aggressive behaviors have put my life in danger as well as my child's since he's special needs and can't be safely secured into his seatbelt due to vandalism, there are strange vehicles attempting to run us off the road on a regular basis, my vehicle has had significant mechanical vandalism which has yet to be repaired and it is known that the car is vulnerable therefore it is exploited. I fear the vandalism, tracking and consistent assaults on the road will cause our car to crash, injuring others.

daytime running light module fails from improper cooling and melts the light tube (light tube is not sold as replaceable item) and is only sold as an assembly which is roughly $4000-6000 to replace per side and is a failure of the north carolina state inspection
