On [XXX] we were headed to Myrtle Beach, a warning lite came on the dash to go straight to the dealer. Later when we got home, my wife called the dealer and set up an appointment. At that time the service department said that BMW didn't have a solution to the problem and told us to wait until we received a text or call to have the X1 BMW serviced. We got a letter in August that the remedy is available and carried it to the dealer. The service department then told us that the part was not there for our car and it was in transit. Also the part had to be paired to our vin number, so they put us back on the road for another week of maybe nothing will happen. We tried to get a loaner, because we been long bought the car. Finally on September 12th we carried the car in to be serviced for the recall, at which time we demanded a loaner to drive and received one, same as our car a year newer.The point I am getting to, is that BMW "Safety Is Important To Us" don't mean anything because they let us drive for almost a year with a Brake Recall endangering our lives. The service we got was befitting the company of BMW. Very unhappy customers [XXX] and [XXX] , You should have some type of gift or gift card for all that we went through to get our new X1 BMW repaired at our cost of time and worry. NOT HAPPY!!!!

STILL NO AVAILABLE REMEDY

Apr 6, 2025

There is no incident as in a crash, the company (BMW) has failed to repair my vehicle or provide a fix to the brakes recall in a timely manner. When I bought the vehicle, the dealership failed to disclose that there was an open recall on this vehicle. My vehicle is telling me that I could be involved in a crash because my braking power is significantly reduced. I have no other vehicle to drive.

Nov 7, 2024 Crash

I was in a low speed front end collision on Oct. 10th. I was unable to stop despite stamping on the breaks. A week after the accident I received a letter from BMW informing me of a recall for the integrated brake module with no remedy available. It looks like the first brake recall letters were sent out in Feb. of 2024 but I never received a letter

Please refer to NHTSA recall 24V104. BMW (and NHTSA) have known about this safety issue for 7 months or more. Yet, BMW has done absolutely nothing to resolve the problem. What is it going to take to get BMW to place a reasonable priority on this? Deaths? Severe accidents? The recall was issued 2/12/24. It is now 10/2/24. I continue to drive a vehicle affected by the recall. I do not feel safe and feel BMW needs to address this issue without further delay. I have emailed BMW customer service seeking updates and they won't even respond!!!!! I am submitting this vehicle safety problem before something bad happens to my wife or me as we drive this defective vehicle.

Traveling about 35mph with no cars around, the brakes applied, no throttle response, and little steering. Warning lights illuminated and couldn't move car until turned off ignition and restarted. Dealer showed no codes and shows no record of it occurring. This symptom mirrors a recall on last years model, but not yet on 2024's. BMW says there's nothing more they can do but we are afraid to drive car because it's a guaranteed accident waiting to happen.
