On January 30, 2026 BMW was made aware of a problem with their starter motors in their 230 series cars that could result in the mechanism failing or in a worst case scenario, a fire starting. They have been aware of this problem for almost four full months and still have no remedy. This is a blatant safety issue and they have taken no action to correct it.

The contact owns a 2023 BMW 230i. The contact received the recall notification letter for NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V056000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer and the manufacturer were contacted. The contact had not experienced a related failure.

None of the 3 navigation apps work in my BRAND NEW 2023 BMW. Youâll see it has me going thru oceans & thru forests or golf courses to get to my destination. But, MORE IMPORTANTLY, the incorrect GPS data is also being sent to EVERY app that utilizes GPS. Therefore, if I need the police or 911 & look at my phone on any app that has GPS my location could be off by miles. If my car is stolen & I look in the MY BMW app the locations could be off by miles.  Below, you will see two photos on the same page. They were taken within seconds of each other. The photo has me at a CVS store in a town called Mamaroneck & the screenshot has me at a private home in a town called White Plains. I have never even been to this private home or on that street recently. I have contacted BMW over 40 times. They keep repeating the same response which is âjust donât use navigation apps. There is no fix available. There may be a fix by summer. Only use the BMW onboard navigationâ. But they do not understand that it is all affecting all GPS apps. Not just navigation apps. But any apps that use GPS.  Again, if I need 911 then my location is completely off by miles because of their faulty IDrive 8.  Emergency services will never find me.  BMW clearly doesnât understand the gravity of the situation. The dealer said he wonât take back a lemon or buy back my car at any price. BMW corporate says âtoo bad, donât use navigation appsâ. I have made them very well aware of the safety ramifications. They do not care.  This started many many months ago. At first I thought it was Waze. Then I was told it was my phone. I spent $1000 and bought a new phone. And then I figured out it, along with others who have a similar issue, itâs because of the faulty IDrive 8 in my new BMW.
