2022 BMW 230I Complaints
The contact owns a 2022 BMW 230I. The contact stated that while his son was attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact's son attempted to start the vehicle again, and the check engine warning light was blinking. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and the vehicle was diagnosed with a misfire and crankshaft failure. The contact was informed that the valve cover, fuel tank, and spark plugs need to be replaced. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V438000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact demanded a second opinion. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact reached out to the manufacturer, but there was no response. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.;
2022 BMW 430I Complaints
COMPONENT: Engine mounts (left and right hydraulic engine mounts). Both are still installed on the vehicle and are available for inspection on request. FAILURE DESCRIPTION: I began hearing a knocking noise from the engine bay whenever I accelerated. I first noticed it on approximately August 19, 2026. The noise occurred under acceleration only and was not present at idle. There were no warning lamps, dashboard messages, or check engine indicators at any point before or after the noise began, and none are present now. The knocking noise was the only symptom. CONFIRMED BY DEALER: Yes. I brought the vehicle to Long Beach BMW Service Center on August 29, 2026 at 31,990 miles. The technician inspected the vehicle and found that the left engine mount had collapsed and was leaking hydraulic fluid, and that the right engine mount was deteriorating toward the same condition. The finding is documented on repair order 952722, which I can provide. OTHER INSPECTIONS: The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. I have contacted BMW of North America Customer Relations regarding the failure. SAFETY CONCERN: A collapsed engine mount allows excessive engine and drivetrain movement under acceleration and load. This transmits shock into surrounding components and can lead to damage of adjacent lines, wiring, and exhaust components over time. The condition also produces unpredictable drivetrain movement during acceleration, which affects vehicle stability and driver control. ADDITIONAL CONTEXT: The vehicle was purchased new in October 2021 and has 31,000 miles. It has never been in an accident, has never been modified or tuned, and has been driven lightly and conservatively. A hydraulic engine mount failing at this mileage under these conditions is not consistent with normal wear. Both mounts failed or began failing simultaneously.;
