My car is about 1.5 yers old, bmw 740i. I have been towed back to the dealer twice now for the same issue.i live in Illinois and work in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, so I drive on the expressway a lot. I received the following message on my display while driving at 75-80 mph. The message is “ inability to drive.” I have received this 3 times. When it occurs the steering is more difficult and, I am told starts to shut down major systems, so needlessly to say quite unnerving and I had difficulty getting onto the shoulder. The first occurrence was last year in October (2024). I was afraid to drive the car when everyone else was travelling at high speeds. So had it towed to dealer. The dealer did not seem to understand this message and why it happened, and even what would happen. They did a software upgrade and told me it was fixed. On [XXX] it happened again, same message although different look with the software upgrade, and had to be towed. I don’t trust the car since no one can tell me why this is happening and what it does. The dealer said they are not familiar with it. I told them we have read online that others have had this happen, but no recalls or information. If this message is in the software there has to be a data dictionary that explains, 1) what triggers it, 2) why, 3) what does it do, and 4) can it be disabled. No one seems to know, and it is putting me at risk of an accident, that no one understands. I am afraid to drive the car. If I am in an accident because of this bmw should libel. Please help!

There is an open recall on my 2024 BMW 760i and BMW has NO FIX over a year now and the NHTSA is doing nothing to pressure BMW to fix this critical issue. This is unacceptable as it puts all of us as risk and the NHTSA has to take this issue serioulsy, I am unable to sell this vehicle or get a new insurance and you folks have put no pressure on BMW to fix this. Please CC the head of the NHTSA and start putting pressure on BMW to solve this.

Car seems to be having issues with its brake function, especially in traffic or when coming to a complete stop from a distance. Also I am in fear that the issue will emerge while I am driving and I will not use the car with my 10 month old daughter.

BMW issued a recall for several series including the BMW 760i x drive citing missing parts to the braking system which could cause the emergency braking and brakes to fail. The recall was issued 10 months ago. This was before I purchased the car. I did not receive a recall notice until a month ago. They did not disclose the recall at the time of the sale of the vehicle. I drove the car for 5 months before being notified. Before I received the recall notice I noticed some issues with the braking taking longer to stop. I then received the recall and contacted the dealer to fix the recall. They said they had not received authorization to fix the recall from BMW. I have not driven the car for fear of the brakes failing for over a month since I received the recall notice. This is a $146,000 car. The dealer said they have not been authorized by BMW to fix the recall. How do you issue a recall on expensive cars and expect people to continue to pay for a car they can't drive?
