Complaints Filed with NHTSA

The following are consumer-reported complaints filed with NHTSA. These are unverified allegations and are not proof that any defect exists.

Visibility/Wiper1 complaint

Enterprise rental regional manager Amber Backman is allowing staff to release vehicles after having criminal damage to them and even on the release paperwork she allows techs to send it clearly states Windshield star and all her workers think that it is ok and "normal" to do these things. I repeatedly attempted to redirect staff and they are selling DW/CDW as insurance and making customer provide them PII over the phone or else they have to bring it in for them to inspect. Even after speaking to David Neighbors who is allegedly the Risk or compliance supervisor and he finally took the Avondale IR number he did not addess the lack of knowledge and compliance of staff and how the manager Amber Backman repeatedly said to me " per industry standards, I don't need to take report" of the damage to the windshield obstructing the view of drivers on their rentals.

Allegedly reported: 1 injury (as reported to NHTSA). NHTSA #11736682

Power Train1 complaint

I experienced multiple unintended gear changes while stopped in traffic in a 2026 BMW X2 xDrive28i (~11,800 miles, rental vehicle, prior usage unknown). The vehicle uses a small electronic toggle gear selector located immediately adjacent to the cupholders. Incident 1: While stopped with my foot on the brake, the engine shut off due to auto start/stop. When I released the brake, the engine restarted but the vehicle did not move forward and instead revved slightly. I immediately pulled the selector back and the vehicle resumed normal forward movement. I did not intentionally shift gears and believe the vehicle had unintentionally shifted into Neutral. Incident 2: While stopped with my foot on the brake, I reached for a drink in the cupholder. During this normal action, the gear selector was likely contacted unintentionally. The vehicle shifted into Reverse without my intent, confirmed by the backup camera activating. The vehicle did not move because I remained on the brake and recognized the issue immediately. Afterward, I tested this interaction in a controlled environment in my driveway. While stationary with my foot on the brake, repeatedly reaching for a cup caused the vehicle to shift into Neutral or Reverse multiple times without intentional input or clear tactile feedback. The selector’s location next to the cupholder and its sensitivity allow incidental contact during normal use. As a left-handed driver reaching across the console (with a wristwatch and jacket), contact may occur without awareness. This creates risk of unintended gear selection, unexpected movement, or failure to move when expected.
