2023 BMW X7 Complaints

I received a recall notice in Feb of 2024 for a faulty integrated brake module and issues with the antilock breaking system which may result in seemingly catastrophic issues. There is still no fix for this issue-- 9 months seems like a long time to be driving around a car which may "lose control". I'm not sure if I am safe in my car. I'm not totally sure if this is a reasonable amount of time? But I wanted to report this because it seems worthy of a complaint... Thank you for your time.

Recall 24V-104 was issue in February 2024 and no remedy is available as of October 2024

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was advised that the forward collision avoidance system was sensitive and needed to be adjusted in the infotainment settings. No further assistance was provided. Additionally, the contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V104000 (Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

We are unable to sell the car because it’s listed as unsalable because of the recall and we are unable to drive the vehicle. BMW should replace the vehicle at their cost.

I took my X7 to Habberstad BMW to have this brake safety recall done. The dealer said they do not have the parts available and have no ETA. I do not feel safe driving this car with the braking system not working 100% efficiency. I am on month 24 of a 36 month lease with BMW financial and I would like BMW to buy back this car and terminate my lease. This recall has been announced for a few months now and to not have a fix yet for a braking safety issue is unacceptable.
