The third-row seat malfunctioned while my child was exiting the vehicle. The powered seat began moving unexpectedly and trapped my child\u2019s leg, and we had extreme difficulty getting the seat to release. This is an extremely dangerous failure for any powered seat, especially one that is frequently used by children.  This is not normal wear and tear \u2014 this is a mechanical and electrical failure of a safety-critical seat system.  BMW Fresno has had the vehicle for more than six weeks and cannot fix the problem. BMW North America reviewed the case but denied responsibility and closed it, even though the defect affects a powered safety-critical seat. We still have no repair, no explanation, and no assurance that the seat is safe.  I am filing this because the powered seat poses a clear risk of injury, and BMW has not resolved or acknowledged the safety defect. I request that NHTSA investigate the 2020 BMW X7 third-row seat system for potential entrapment hazards.  Actions Taken \u2022BMW Fresno inspected the vehicle and kept it for 6+ weeks. \u2022BMW NA conducted a review but has refused to cover cost of repair or acknowledge a defect. \u2022I am seeking NHTSA\u2019s involvement because this is a clear safety problem that BMW has not corrected.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X7","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
