This is has been continuous, yesterday my car braked on the freeway. Suddenly with no obstruction. The car behind me almost crashed into me and it would’ve been a very tragic event. I took it to the dealership and they don’t do anything, all they do is give it back to me. Yesterday also has loss of power too. I have alerted them many times, they keep saying to take it in but they don’t do anything and I don’t feel with this car. Please let BMW know because if something happens they will be heard responsible

I am fed up and I have my family in the car. Last time I took it, they said something the car doesn’t recognize a driver This is a electric car.

I have now experienced multiple instances where the vehicle suddenly brakes on its own while driving at normal speeds, without any obstruction or hazard ahead. This is not only unacceptable — it's extremely dangerous, putting both myself and other drivers at risk of serious injury. Despite bringing the vehicle in twice to the dealership, the issue persists. I continue to receive dashboard malfunction alerts, and the automatic braking problem has not been resolved. Each time, I am left without a vehicle, impacting my ability to work. I did not purchase a $100k+ vehicle to live in fear of sudden, unpredictable, and life-threatening malfunctions. Today, while driving, the vehicle completely shut off in motion, creating a highly dangerous situation. This follows multiple previous incidents where the car automatically braked without cause and displayed repeated malfunction notifications on the dashboard. I have brought the car to the dealership twice, and yet the problem persists. This is not only unacceptable — it's an imminent risk to my safety and the safety of others on the road. The fact that a brand-new luxury vehicle with this price tag continues to experience such serious failures is beyond frustrating — it is life-threatening.
