I could not turn the steering wheel at a stop. The instrument cluster simultaneously displayed: \"Vehicle may roll. Brake manually,\" \"Drive carefully. Changed steering effort,\" \"Drive carefully. Chassis stabilization,\" and \"Parking assistance malfunction.\" Auto Hold and the electronic parking brake's hold function were disabled, requiring manual brake application to prevent rollaway. Mileage at incident: approximately 21,344 miles. The simultaneous failure of Electric Power Steering, Dynamic Stability Control, and the Electronic Parking Brake while the vehicle was in motion in traffic created an immediate safety hazard. No crash or injury occurred, but a recurrence at highway speed, on a wet road, or during an evasive maneuver could foreseeably cause loss of vehicle control, crash, injury, or death. The vehicle was taken to an authorized BMW dealer. The technician stated this failure is a known issue following a recent vehicle software update, that BMW has no repair available, and that the only action taken was to power-cycle the vehicle and clear stored fault codes. No software remedy, parts replacement, or TSB was provided. I was given no assurance the failure will not recur and no timeline for a fix. To my knowledge, no recall has been issued for this defect on the i5 platform. I request that NHTSA evaluate the scope of this issue across the i5 fleet and determine whether a defect investigation or recall is warranted.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"I5","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
