2022 BMW X7 SUV AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2022 BMW X7 SUV AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
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:
"we bought bmw x7 in nov.2021 (model 2022), the delivery was late for two weeks because of unavailability of touch screen software but then the vehicle was delivered without software installation for touch screen. though this was mentioned by the dealer at the time of delivery but because we need to have a vehicle asap and that was already two weeks late, we accepted delivery without working of a screen by touch. as bmw x7 model 2022 is very highly advance & sophisticated in term of accessing driving features, we are experiencing too much distraction during driving to access features through other ways but not by touching the screen which takes driver's concentration and eyes off of the road. in fact now we found this touch of a screen is very, very essential for a judgemental driving. as such, may we request to please bound the manufacturer and or supplier to please install the touch screen software. thank you."

Complaint:
"bmw x7 has the start button by the stick shift and other buttons for navigation modes and others and i when not in park at speed of 25 mph if mistakenly you hit the start button it shut off the car losing power breaks and power steering. bmw told me that how it is designed and above 25 mph even if you are at 100 mph if you do it once the car will go into neutral, if you do it twice the car will shut off and you lose everything i think that is very serious this happened to me while driving. we hit the start/stop button and the car shut off, throwing us into neutral and i had to come to a complete stop to restart the car. i became a road hazard while stopped in a busy intersection and luckily we did not have an accident and no one was injured.
