Filed Sep 11, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · MD

2022 BMW 230i Coupe (VIN: [XXX]) is under an active, high-priority safety recall for an Engine Starter Fire Risk (Recall 26V‑438) with a strict "Park Outside" mandate. The manufacturer currently lists the status as "Remedy Not Available" because redesigned replacement parts do not exist yet. Due to the explicit warning that the vehicle can catch fire spontaneously while parked, I feel completely unsafe operating it or keeping it near my home. BMW Customer Relations refuse to provide a safe interim loaner vehicle, rental coverage, or transport/storage for the vehicle off my property. IG Burton states they do not have the parts to fix it yet. BMW Customer Relations states that it is my issue. I am trapped harboring a severe fire hazard at my rental property with absolutely no safe means of daily transportation. I called BMW Customer Relations and they absolutely NO HELP at all. IG Burton in Milford DE told me to call back in a few weeks. Unacceptable. 2022 BMW 230i 2 door coupe. What are my options until their are parts to have it fixed. I am not willing to risk driving the car or have my kids in it with this. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased all available packages which include pedestrian warning in rear and front, collision warning and automatic breaks, rear collision warning, etc… none of the systems have worked except for the parallel parking assist but now it is starting to malfunction and apply the breaks 100% while I am driving or parking causing near collisions and inability to to move my car while on the road. I also purchased 5G cell service in the car and it has no cell service but says it does however it forces me to use my phone to connect to cellular service through the car. This has created many issues, one being that the gps of my car is off by a few miles to many miles, the navigation system telling me to go the wrong way, requiring me to focus on getting my phone to connect to the car while driving and causing dangerous situations.
