My BMW's Head-Up Display (HUD) and Speed Limit Information system displays incorrect speed limits that do not match posted roadway signs. The HUD frequently shows "LTM" or an incorrect speed such as "25 mph" instead of the actual posted speed limit. This is a serious safety concern. Drivers rely on HUD speed limit information while driving. Inaccurate readings can lead to unsafe driving decisions, unintentional speeding, traffic violations, and increased accident risk. The vehicle was taken to an authorized BMW dealership for repair and kept for approximately one week. I was informed on June 4, 2026, and again on June 8, 2026, that the issue had been resolved. After each attempt, the defect remained completely unchanged. The dealership repeatedly misrepresented the repair as complete when it was not. I previously owned a BMW X5 for three years with no HUD or speed limit display issues, confirming this is a defect and not normal system behavior. The vehicle was purchased new in November 2025 and remains under warranty. Despite multiple failed repair attempts, the defect persists and continues to compromise safe vehicle operation. I respectfully request NHTSA investigate this as a potential safety defect and determine whether a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB), recall, or other corrective action is warranted.
