Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2014 BMW X1 Sdrive28I SUV RWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"takata recall. i got into an accident with my 2014 bmw x1 in the winter of 2015, just a year after leasing this vehicle. a car hit me so hard from behind, that i hit the car in front of me, totaling my car completely. i was sent to the hospital because my airbags failed to deploy. this has caused me thousands of dollars in medical bill that my health insurance did not cover. if the airbags went off, i may not have hit my head and would have saved me from going to the hospital. this recall could have caused others with a more severe accident possible death. therefore bmw should not only replace the defected airbags but also compensate everyone who risked their lives driving this machine that could have killed them."
