“Acceleration issues. I complained to Bmw about the issue november 2018 for my 2018 Bmw. However, Bmw said there wasn't a problem. On sunday at around 6:28 pm I was pulling into a parking space at my chase bank and the car suddenly starts accelerating causing me to have a head on collision with a parked car. My 2015 Bmw had the same problem. I was in ralph's parking lot in beverly hills about to pull out when suddenly my Bmw accelerated, and I nearly killed two people. When I bought it in for service Bmw repaired the problem. Something was calibrated to high.”
NHTSA complaint #11300113, filed 2020-01, 14,000 miles“Vehicle had 300 miles on it. All power went out in the vehicle including the steering going straight 45mph with my small child in the car. Almost died, but was able to control car to get it to the side of the road almost getting hit head on. Called Bmw from within the car and went later that day to get a loaner. I refused to take back car due to safety issues. After a week of them fixing it they told me that it was a main control panel for the fuel pump that went out. I do see through when checking recalls for 2018 bmws that there was one issued for a pump, but not until september 2018. …”
