About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
My car has suddenly lost power in several occasions nearly causing an accident at 60 mph on one occasion. When power is lost steering seizes up completely. This happens with absolutely no warning whatsoever & my car has started up as though nothing is wrong after. The second issue is so well known it has been labeled as the "terrible triad" ac road all BMW forums, youtube. Twitter, etc. You can find thousands of chats & forums discussing the 3 lights which appear simultaneously due to transfer case actuator & I drive issues. My 4X4 light is on indefinitely & all of the symptoms can be felt.

Since purchase in 2013 from a dealer, with only 43000 mile changed battery twice at BMW peter pan, replaced power steering pump, window regulator, replaced starter, plus other services and window wipers are faulty, T-case actuator replaced, sway bar replaced, totaling $9531.38. I tried to complain to BMW corporation for selling a lemon car. Please let me know who I can complain about this car. Right now it only has 57K miles on it and I am being told it needs more work.
