Known Recall Investigations

  • Pedestrian alert sounds investigation # DP22005

    Nhtsa received a petition on or about july 18, 2022, requesting that federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the united states. The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072.Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

Vehicle was being driven and showed power supply issue and then flashed a drive train warning and lost propulsion power. The vehicle started hopping / jerking. The a/c stopped working and the center console became intensely hot to the touch; so much so it was uncomfortable to keep you hand on the center console. The vehicle is currently at the dealership stating they believe a software update was needed. The issues mirror those that occurred when the car failed as a result of a previous ev battery recall. Issue concerns me as the intense heat created makes me concern about of potential electrical fire or failure when driving at higher speeds. Occurred on july 10, 2021.

On 6/8/2021, when pulling out of my driveway approximately 9:00 am, i experienced the car switching from hybrid mode to sport mode without me engaging the sport mode control. The following day (6/9/2021), after a day of primarily interstate driving (over 200 miles), while stopping at a red light, i felt the brake pedal fall to the floor faster than i was applying pressure and i came to a sudden stop. The brakes had seized and the car was towed to thompson bmw. The tow driver was able to release the brakes by pulling up the brake pedal. Thompson bmw could not recreate the brake failure but their diagnostics indicated brake failure. Bmw na was called as my car was less than 6 months old with 9724 miles. The service advisor told me that they were instructed to replace the master cylinder but could not tell me why brakes failed. Knowing that this was a significant safety concern, i opened a safety complaint with bmw. Bmw could not tell me the root cause of the brake failure and as a result, i had no confidence that the problem was “fixed”. Master cylinders rarely fail. They also refused to provide me the diagnostics report. They said i was only entitled to the maintenance invoice. Linda vitale was assigned my complaint and in a voicemail, told me i lost power to the dsci module. She said the dsci “has a fail-safe mode and if no power was present the conventional brakes” would work. They replaced the dsci module and “it should be fine.” based on her email, and then conversation, bmw engineering said i had an electrical issue. So why did the conventional brakes fail? I am very concerned that bmw has not identified the real problem and i can experience this brake failure again. If this failure had occurred while braking on an interstate highway, i could have been killed or vehicle could have caused fatal accident. I am extremely concerned about the safety of this vehicle, especially since over 60% of my driving in on highways and interstates.

The contact owns a 2021 bmw x5. The contact stated while reversing out of their driveway and making a right turn, the display screen on the center console went red. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the pedal went all the way to the floor. The contact took their foot off the brake pedal and depress on the accelerator pedal, when the contact noticed the display screen showed the vehicle went from hybrid mode to sports mode on it's own. The driver had to press the hybrid button to get the vehicle back to normal. However, the next day the contact was driving at an undisclosed speed and approaching a red light when they depressed the brake pedal the vehicle jerked to a stop. The contact then depressed the accelerator pedal but the vehicle would not move. The contact waited a few moments and depressed the accelerator pedal again this time the vehicle was slowly moving forward. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle but was not able to duplicate the failure. However, they stated that the failure was related to the brake system and replaced the master cylinder. Although, the vehicle was repaired the contact was concerned that the dealer could not provide the reason the failure occurred on the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,700.

The cars hybrid batteries caught fire while sitting in garage being charged. After car was removed from garage and fire department had things "under control" which took about 2 hours they left saying it would be towed in the morning. About 30 minutes later the car exploded setting fire to the house. The house was saved the car is nothing more than a burnt shell, a total loss. Thank god no one was hurt but i see where bmw had a ton of recalls on the 2020 version on the exact version of this vehicle for the same thing. Obviously nothing was fixed.

Drove at the speed of 75 mph in the highway all in a sudden the car lost power until its speed dropped to 62 mph. It is a hybrid. Dash board showed some reserved battery power and half tank of gasoline. It is a big safety issue. Need to find the cause of it.

This is a new bmw x5 2 months old with 2000 miles. The vehicle was parked not running with no power in my garage. On saturday morning it spontaneously combusted into flames. I happened to be near the garage and spotted the flames 4-5 feet tall shooting out from hood. I immediately ran inside to ensure my family was exiting the house and we called 911. I attempted to extinguish the flames with a hose while waiting on the fire dept. They arrived and extinguished and cut all electrical power to the vehicle and winched it out of my garage. Very upsetting and disturbing that the new vehicle randomly burst into flames while sitting in garage.

My x5 was parked in my garage and started by itself while i was outside of my house with garage doors closed. I was able to stop the engine by using the bmw connected app. I did not have any scheduled or programmed start events.I called bmw corporate and was told to take the x5 to a dealer for a diagnostic scan which could not be scheduled for two days from now.
