Owners have filed 64 complaints
about the 2014 BMW 428I with NHTSA between 2014 and 2025.
The largest single group is the engine & cooling.
Across this model's run it ranks 2 of 3 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 37
Against the median year of the BMW 428I. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 89
17.2% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 55
32% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all
complaints include one.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2014 BMW 428I
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.C...
Recalls on the 2014 BMW 428I
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH MY FOOT APPLIED TO THE BRAKE. SUDDENLY MY CAR SURGED FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED MY FOOT DOWN ON THE BRAKE HARDER. NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR CONTINUED TO SURGE FORWARD, HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WE GOT OUT OF OUR VEHICLES. FORTUNATELY HER CAR ONLY RECEIVED MINOR SCRATCHES ON HER SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT (IT'S ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE) BUT MY CAR RECEIVED THE DAMAGE AS THE HOOD WENT UNDER THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT. I THEN NERVOUSLY/CAUTIOUSLY DROVE MY CAR TO SOUTH BAY BMW TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE WHAT HAPPEDED. TWO DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THEM STATING THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD LEAVE THE CAR THERE AND THEY CAN BEGIN AN INVESTIGATION WITH BMW BUT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE AND IT MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I LEFT MY CAR THERE AND EMAILED BMW IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED BUT THEY WERE ALREADY CLOSED. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THEM THIS MORNING, 7/29, STATING THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS BY SOMEONE FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE. I THEN CALLED THE RECALL DEPARTMENT AND SPOKE WITH A GENTLEMAN WHO SAID MY VIN WASN'T SHOWING A RECALL. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT MAY BE THE CASE BUT MY VEHICLE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL IS LISTED AS THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. HE INFORMED ME THAT HE SAW THAT I HAVE CONTACTED BMW AND THAT I HAVE TO WAIT TO HEAR BACK FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE. I THEN WENT ONTO YOUR WEBSITE AND SAW COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME EXACT THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. I WILL FOLLOW UP AS SOON AS I HEAR BACK FROM BMW. HOPEFULLY THIS IS SOMETHING THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX INCLUDING THE DAMAGES TO MY CAR AS I DON'T FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR TO FIX AS IT WAS A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION NOT HUMAN ERROR. THIS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I'M NOT ALONE!

ON JUNE 19TH 2016 I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 BMW428I WITH 5200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT SIGNAL I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES SLOWING TO 5-10 MPH.INSTEAD OF COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE BECAME ENERGIZED AND BEGAN SURGING FORWARD. I APPLIED AS MUCH PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT TO NO AVAIL AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ITS SURGE FORWARD UNTIL IT STRUCK THE STOPPED VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. LUCKILY NO DAMAGES, NO INJURIES ON MONDAY JUNE 20TH I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD "CHECK IT OUT". LATER THAT DAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. A FEW MINUTES LATER I RECEIVED A CALL FROM BMWNA ASKING ME FOR THE DETAILS OF THIS INCIDENT. THEY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS TO REMAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL A SPECIALIST COULD RUN MORE TESTS ON THE VEHICLE.HIS TEST RESULTS WOULD BE SENT TO BMWNA TO BE EVALUATED BY THE ENGINEERING GROUP. AS THE DAYS AND WEEKS WENT BY I SENT SEVERAL E-MAILS TO MY CASE WORKER AT BMWNA ASKING ABOUT THE STATUS OF MY IDLED VEHICLE STILL SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP. SOME OF MY E-MAILS WERE IGNORED. FINALLY ON AUGUST 22ND 2016, TWO MONTHS LATER, BMWNA INFORMED ME BY E-MAIL THAT THE TEST RESULTS SHOWED NO DEFECTS AND NO MALFUNCTIONS HAD EVER OCCURRED. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT MANY BMW MODELS EXPERIENCE BRAKE FAILURES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT BMW IS AWARE OF AS IT GOES BACK A NUMBER OF YEARS. HOWEVER THEY CHOOSE TO BE IN DENIAL PUTTING DRIVERS AND OTHERS AT RISK.

Car jyst shut down in the middle of the street without any dashbord lights, strange noises or symptoms. Won't turn over. After tow to BMW dealer they said oil pump broke. I took it to volvo dealer they said oil starvation. They changed design of oil pump drive but don't inform anybody to do it which is very unacceptable. And they should do recall on that. That was very dangerous situation. This oil pump very slowly desteoys without any symptoms. It's really ticking time bomb becouse they now it quietly change design.Thank you.

I have tried reaching BMW USA 3-4 times since November 2024 until now. The representative said BMW is working on correcting the problem. I have CC the email that was sent this June 2025 with no replies. 1 year has passed since the recall was issued and BMW USA has not created a remedy/fix for the coolant problem. I had this car on the TURO car rental platform as I am a host on TURO. I can't list this car to rent out because of the recall. Turo will not allow owners of recalled cars to list their cars because the car could be "potentially unsafe." Yet, the "owner" is driving these "unsafe"' cars on the road. I did my part. I already sent another recent email to get a solution. What would be my next step? (Almost one year now....) Also, I am sending this email Pacific time at 5:07 WED., July 30th. On the document: the Update IS on THURSDAY JULY 31st. WHAT???!!!!! Make it make sense . Frustrated OWNER
