Owner report 11707564 · 2025-12-29 (December 29, 2025)
Nuna had a major recall for their rava convertible car seats as your organization is aware of. However, there are two main issues that I'm having that Nuna has refused to address nor do they have a viable solution for. The first is that with the recall fix which was new material they sent out, the harness button is covered by Fabric and when the rava is in rear-facing mode it becomes almost impossible to reach the harness release button. Nuna recommended using the leg rest to address the issue, however, the issue does still persist. In a time o…

Owner report 11710042 · 2026-01-09 (January 9, 2026)
My 2025 BMW i4 has experienced two distinct but related tire safety issues involving abnormal wear and repeated structural failures. Issue 1: Extreme Accelerated Tire Wear The factory-installed tires on my new vehicle were fully worn out in approximately 4 months and ~5,000 miles. All four tires required replacement. This level of wear is far outside normal expectations, including for heavy EVs or performance summer tires, and indicates abnormal loading or alignment behavior. Issue 2: Repeated Structural Failures of Right Rear Tire After repl…

Owner report 11712645 · 2026-01-22 (January 22, 2026)
The backup camera at night is very dark and unsafe. I can barely see anything. It’s a major safety issue even though sensors can warn you, I almost ran over my neighbor while backing out of the garage. My wife has a 2025 X5 that does not have this issue at all. I see online forums where tons of people are complaining about the same issue, making it very unsafe.

Owner report 11739210 · 2026-05-21 (May 21, 2026)
I was driving last night on the highway in a monster rainstorm in Long Island, NY. In a full monsoon the wipers stopped working stuck in the up position. I was fortunate to not get in a very serious accident as I was going 50mph with ZERO visibility. I was able to make it to the side of the road where i drove with my hazards to exit the highway and pull into a gas station. I could have been killed. I called BMW to have the car towed to the dealer as it was still raining and I was unable to drive. It was over 2 hours for the tow so I waited fo…

Owner report 11742560 · 2026-06-07 (June 7, 2026)
Entire car was bricked after a software update (03/2026.54). Even the gear could not be changed to neutral for placing on a tow truck. Nothing wrong with the batteries. After more than 12 hours, finally the engine powered on but the software failure notification sign would still not work, and car had to be towed to authorized service center for a clean software reinstall.
