What 125 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 BMW 328i Xdrive Gt

Tire Pressure Monitor failure intermittently reported while driving. The error lights up on the dashboard. Sometimes the TMP resets without my resetting the system. I took the car to the dealer and was told nothing is wrong with the system. The dealer told me to drive the car more frequently. This has happened over the last several years. Driver's door intermittently fails to lock and/or will not open (intermittently) using the interior door latch handle mechanism. The door will unlock using the electronic locking and unlocking switch/button located on the center of the dashboard. The problem would be exiting the vehicle in an emergency without electrical systems functioning. This has happened starting in the first year of purchase - 2017 continuing through 2025.

GREETINGS: WE HAVE A 2015 BMW328I WHICH CAME WITH CONTINENTAL SPORT/CONTACT TIRES INSTALLED SINCE NEW. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 26000 MILES. DURING A RECENT REGULAR MAINTENANCE VISIT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIRES HAVE BECOME UNSAFE DUE TO BROKEN/SEPARATED CORD WHICH HAS CAUSED THE TREAD TO RAISE UNEVENLY CAUSING EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE AND VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. THE TIRES WERE DETERMINED TO BE UNSAFE AND WERE REPLACED. WE ALSO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ON A 2015 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH OEM CONTINENTAL TIRES AND HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHEN NEW AND THOSE TIRES WERE REPLACED PRIOR TO 1000 MILES WITH NEW CONTINENTAL OEM TIRES AND AGAIN SHOWED SCALLOPING AND UNEVEN TREAD RAISE BY 12000 MILES. WE FIND THIS A TREND WITH THESE TIRES AND HAVE PREEMPTED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THESE TIRES BY REPLACING THEM, AT OUR EXPENSE, SINCE THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT HONOR A TIRE WARRANTY. WE ALSO FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE CONSUMER AND OPERATORS OF VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THESE TIRES BE MADE AWARE OF.
