The vehicle was then parked on my property and turned off completely. Approximately two hours and thirty minutes later, the vehicle spontaneously ignited while stationary and unoccupied. The local fire department responded and successfully extinguished the blaze. Both physical observations and my home security camera footage confirm that the point of origin was the front right passenger side of the engine compartment. This exact location houses the factory electric water pump and its electrical plug connector, directly matching the failure mechanism detailed in NHTSA Campaign 24V608000, wherein fluid intrusion causes a severe, persistent electrical short circuit capable of igniting a fire hours after the vehicle is parked. The car is completely totaled because of this.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"528I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11730009,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/01/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"04/08/2026","vin":"WBA5A5C54FD","components":"EXTERIOR LIGHTING","summary":"The contact owns a 2015 BMW 528I.

There was grey smoke coming from the engine and inside the vehicle, with flames that were coming from the hood and under the engine.

The vehicle has a defect in the design of the occupant protection system, involving both the seatbelt and airbag systems.  The battery in the 2015 BMW 528i is located in the trunk just interior and below the rear bumper.  In a rear-end collision the battery may become disabled and relies on a capacitor for back up power.  Per BMW specifications the capacitor only holds power for 150 seconds.  In a resulting frontal impact, the airbags will not deploy if the battery power has been disrupted and the capacitor has also run out of power before the frontal impact reaches a threshold to deploy the airbags. A corresponding flaw in the occupant protection system is the adaptive load limiter disposal firing.  Per BMW specifications, the adaptive load limiter had a disposal firing at 250 seconds after the initial load limiter is activated.  This disposal firing allows for additional spool out of the seatbelt.  This has catastrophic consequences when the front airbag has not deployed and the driver is released from the seatbelt due to the additional spool out and is allowed to come into contact with the steering wheel.  Both the power defect and the adaptive load limiter defect impacts the safety performance as it relates to the passenger as well. This accident scenario was recently put to a jury in Alexander v. BMW of North America, LLC, 7:18-cv-03065-JD in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Spartanburg Division. In Alexander, the load limiter deployed at 18 ms, the power was disrupted at 120 ms, the adaptive load limiter then fired at 268 ms, and the capacitor lost power at 270 ms. The airbag was not able to be fired and the additional spool out allowed Ms. Alexander to strike the steering wheel. The jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiff and found that the system, including the airbag and seatbelt system, was defective.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"528I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11505100,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"02/01/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"02/02/2023","vin":"WBA5A7C51FD","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"Driver side front door handle/actuator freezes in cold weather.

ON THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018, AT 17:00 P.M., 75 F AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF THE ENVIRONMENT, I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 BMW CAR, MODEL 528I SEDAN, VIN: [XXX], ON I-75 IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, USA.    THE SPEED OF TRAVEL WAS AROUND 70 MILES PER HOUR AND I WAS 200 MILES SOUTH OF ATLANTA.    AT THAT TIME, 17:00 P.M., I FELT A VERY LOUD NOISE ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND THEN A FLURRY OF STRANGE ELEMENTS THAT HIT THE ROOF AND BACK OF THE CAR. WHEN I PARKED, I NOTICED THAT IT WAS THE SUNROOF OF THE CAR THAT, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, EXPLODED INTO MILLIONS OF PIECES.    WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT NOR THE SIDE, SO I RULE OUT THAT A STONE HIT.    THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THEY ARE CHECKING IT FOR REPAIR. THEY GAVE ME A REPLACEMENT CAR UNTIL THE REPAIR IS READY.    IN ADDITION TO THE FRIGHT AND HIGH RISK THAT I HAD ON THE HIGHWAY, I AM FINE, BUT VERY WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I TRAVEL NORMALLY EVERY 60 DAYS APPROXIMATELY 1,000 MILES AND I DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS HIGH RISK TO MY INTEGRITY, COMPANIONS AND CARS NEARBY.    GLASSES SCRATCHED THE PAINT ON THE BACK OF THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK.    I HOPE YOU CAN ASSURE ME THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE CAR. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE DRIVING WITH THE INSIDE WINDOW OF THE ROOF CLOSED, OTHERWISE I WOULD BE TELLING A VERY SERIOUS TRAGEDY.    THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF BMW OF GWINNETT PLACE, 3264 COMMERCE AVE. DULUTH, GA 30096, WAITING TO BE REPAIRED AND TO INFORM ME ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
