Incident 17723 Report
AI Chatbot at BMW Dealership in Toronto, Canada, Reportedly Made Erroneous Buyback Offer, Prompting Customer Dispute

2026-06-11

BMW Toronto, a car dealership in Toronto, Canada, said its AI chatbot Quinn misread a customer's loan balance as a C$27,162.79 buyback offer following human miscommunication. A salesperson withdrew the offer and quoted at most C$20,000, prompting a dispute. After a news inquiry, the dealer reinstated the higher offer, which the customer accepted, and said actual people would present future offers.
