Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Power loss, dash went black and loss of drive power. This failure has occurred twice and I more fully documented each failure to BMW. When was the last time this occurred? August 28th 2. GPS error, vehicle speed limit showed 25 under all conditions while actual speed showed correctly. When was the last time this occurred? Early August 3. Side collision system failures. Either fails entirely and indicates no vehicles on either side or will randomly indicate the presence of vehicles when they are not there. Other times it will function correctly. This has happened multiple times now. When was the last time this occurred? October 7th 4. Driver assistance errors pop as a multiple page error on the infotainment for no apparent reason a. On 217 an error message was displayed on the screen and heads up display saying Driver Assistance Limited. The message was longer but that’s all I could read driving in traffic. Conditions could not be more ideal and literally just left service with a freshly washed vehicle so not sure what the failure could be. I think this message is meant to occur if the cameras aren’t working or are obstructed by dirt, extreme weather etc. This message will display if the system has anything that prevents parameters from being met, this is something that will come up from time to time. 5. Assisted driving turned itself on and set a speed of 37 MPH When was the last time this occurred? August 5th 6. Automatic window stopped working despite the activation point still showing setup and active. Checked settings and tried it a few times and it just stopped working but settings look correct. It had previously been working. When was the last time this occurred? In the last week. 7. BMW assistant failures on about 3 of 4 commands. Only the mic button will activate the assistant as the voice activation stopped working. Making calls, navigation, turning off steering wheel heat, turning on massage seat all failed 1-3

I ordered BMW ix50 in 10/1/21, got delivered on 05/20/22. Only after 39 days on 06/08/22 and about 1000 miles BMW stopped running and I called BMW roadside assistance to take to the dealership. The car was “fixed” and picked-up back from the dealership on 07/06/22. The reason was given from Gwinnett dealer that “software upgrade” needed and “was fixed”. Again on 7/15 evening when I was coming after getting battery 80% charged, I was driving and the car suddenly died while in motion. I tried to restart the engine but I couldn’t start the engine. Left side hazard light also stopped blinking. (Videos available) I could have died by the traffic in this scenario. Many people can be easily at high risk due to this unmanageable BMW problem and can even die. BMW dealer text me on 07/19/22 that “BMW has let us know that they want us to replace the Electronic Memory Module on your vehicle. That part is coming in from Germany. As of today there is not an estimate for when the part should come in.” So, do BMW knows what is actually wrong and how long it will take it fix brand new BMW ix EV? This is the story of the famous German carmaker. (1) Why car was released on 07/6/22 when “fix” was not done right? (2) How the brand new car engine die suddenly while in motion? (2) Do BMW understand the risk factor of these kind of incidents? (3) Why BMW introduced ix-50 EV model in USA market when the car is complete disaster? (4) Both the times of breakdown, we do not have a loaner’s car, even after spending $110,000! I felt that I became guinea pig for the inefficiency and lake of expertly of BMW in EV. My friends and everyone trust in BMW is shaky. I booked ix last year, because we trusted BMW, we were thrilled, and this supposed to be gift for our someone. Bad performance on ix EV can is not good for already declining sales of regular BMW products and EVs.
