The car was driving in HYBRID mode and when I slowed down and then as I was about to accelerate, the car pulled forward in a jolt and even braking the car did not help. Not sure if the car was switching from hybrid to electric mode? It was scary and I finally switched to SPORT mode to avoid the…

Incident: December 11, 2021 · Filed: December 14, 2021

New vehicle purchased this past Saturday. Found out that BMW no longer ships the lug adapter in the vehicle. Sales person and BMW telephone call center rep. confirmed this. They said to order one thru the parts department at the dealer. Parts department said it might take a month and a half to get... What do I do in the meantime if the tire needs to be changed due to damage. My wife and I were going cross country on a family visit. Not now. We both don't feel safe not being able to change a tire if something happens. THIS IS NOT SAFE NOR IS IT RIGHT. Please help us in this manner.

Incident: November 24, 2021 · Filed: November 25, 2021

While driving regularly the engine started sputtering and the throttle became non responsive. It seems to have been a transmission problem. A warning light came on noting Drivetrain Malfunction but that continuous driving was possible. Driving was not possible since there was no power. This was an unsafe condition for everyone in the vehicle (and other drivers) since the car stopped in the middle of a busy thruway. The vehicle was rolled to the side of the road, picked up by a tow truck and taken to the manufactures service center.

Incident: October 8, 2021 · Filed: October 9, 2021

The car was driving in HYBRID mode and when I slowed down and then as I was about to accelerate, the car pulled forward in a jolt and even braking the car did not help. Not sure if the car was switching from hybrid to electric mode? It was scary and I finally switched to SPORT mode to avoid the electric / hybrid model altogether. This is the second time it has happened to me in the past one month since I owned the vehicle. I found that I am not the only one as there are several other owners on the BMW blog forum describing a similar issue.
