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.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE FIXED, SINCE BMW WAS PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT RENTAL THIS MATTER WAS RESOLVED VERY QUICKLY. THIS TIME WITH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, BMW IS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR MY RENTAL BECAUSE BMW CORPORATE DID NOT OPEN A CAMPAIGN ON MY CAR. I ALREADY CALLED BMW CORPORATE AND MENTIONED I FEARED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY, BUT THEY DID NOT CARE. I WISH TO PARK MY X-6, BE GIVEN AN ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL MY AIRBAG IS FIXED. NO RECALL LETTER HAS BEEN SENT AS WELL. THIS RECALL STARTED ON MAY 25TH AND NO LETTER HAS BEEN SEND. I FIND BMW NEGLIGENT AND TO SAVE MONEY ON RENTAL, ISN'T SENDING LETTERS TO CLIENTS AFFECTED. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND IN THE EVENT OF A CATASTROPHIC EVENT FIND BMW 100% LIABLE TO FULL EXTEND OF THE LAW.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
