Safety feature: Day time running led light is not working properly. Turns on when the engine starts but then cuts off. The problem is that in order to repair the issue the whole headlight assembly has to be replaced. The dealer refuses to replace the assembly under the extended warranty because they indicate led lights aren-??t covered. Due to the complexity of the issue and the cost of the part, the life expectancy of the part should last well past 5 years. All other dealerships cover the replacement of this part under their extended warranty as it is a common issue.

The vehicles auto stop/start does not function. I hear flushing behind the dash board once the vehicle is powered off and it makes weird noises for about 3-5 minutes before completely powering off.

Dial shifter complaint about the car being place in park inside my garage, left the car door open to return inside the home and once I was 100% out of the vehicle as witnessed by my neighbors, the car went out of park mode causing damaged to the car and my home. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? (Dial Shifter) How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? (In order to stop the car, I risked my life by attempting to jump inside a moving car to place it back in park mode. This was to avoid any further damage, hitting my neighbors house or any pediatricians walking/playing near by.)

The software of the car has a lot of bugs. The displays on the center console turns off, the radio connection comes and go and this is in nyc. A friend had his 2015 BMW to same radio station as my car and they were right next to each other. I was not getting any signal while his was playing. The car fogs and makes it very hard to see and drive. I had to take the car in for service 4 times in one due to this and software issue.

1. car windows do not defrost when driving in cold weather. Especially the side windows greatly effecting visibility if having to turn or change lanes 2. lower electrical panel goes out randomly while driving. This makes you unable to regulate temperature or change driving type.

When the front windshield fogs up in the mornings/night, the defogger ventilation just below the front windshield, does not totally clear the condensation, leaving behind a big patch of condensation that obstructs clear visibility. Also, I am facing a major problem with the media screens and entertainment system since the time I bought the car. While operating the car, the two media screens turn off from time to time. Some days, only the media player and bluetooth connectivity does not work. From time to time, when I connect my phones (iphone X and iphone xs) via usb cable, the phone is not detected. This is not always the case, but it happens more often than I imagined.

When trying to drive my wife's vehicle the gauges for speed, tachometer, vehicle status etc turn off. The two touch screens also turn off so cannot control any climate, radio, drive settings etc. It will come on intermittently and turn back off without warning. The car still operates but without any instrumentation. Unknown how this affects safety features such as airbags.when my wife drives it is less intermittent but happens from time to time. If I attempt to start the car sometimes it won't even turn on but after a couple minutes I can get it to start. It is push button. Have tried both set of keys.
