“On way home today 7/12/2019 car stalled out. I had very little brakes, steering was hard to turn and car slowed down quick. It started back up but then the passenger side window started going down on its own, and the A/C stopped working, and the drivers side window will not go up, and it keeps getting a warning going on then off then on says something about brake lamp control malfunction. When I got it home I left in driveway for a while when I tried to start it back up I started getting transmission failure warning and something about the engine. …”
NHTSA complaint #11231555, filed 2019-07, 35,000 miles“On friday, february 27th, 2015, my wife and my two daughters, ages 19 and 21 were traveling back up the garden state parkway. They were driving in my wifes new 2015 Bmw 328XI and the car was in sports mode. My wife who is a very experienced driver, and never had any problems, was driving. At about 4:30 pm, after exiting the parkway they got to a nearby intersection and planned on turning left to go to the local market. However, when they approached the intersection, my wife was not able to stop her car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10722105, filed 2015-05, 500 miles“I was driving on I-95 at pace with traffic, no speeding and the car in front of me abruptly hit the breaks. I was 3 to 4 car lengths away. I hit the brakes but was not concerned because I had plenty of distance and the car is equipped with ABS brakes. As I hit the brakes, it seemed like the car was not slowing down even as I pressed harder and the ABS brakes never kicked in. I was in the middle lane and was unable to swerve without causing a major accident. My only option was to hit the car directly in front of me. The car I hit sustained a scraped rear bumper no other damage.”
NHTSA complaint #11057684, filed 2017-12, 26,700 miles“This is a loaner dealer car with an automatic transmission. I was exiting a state highway, turning right onto the exit ramp to slow at a traffic signal, and applied the brake pedal with my right foot. I slowed from 45 MPH to about 10 MPH, with my right foot on the brake pedal. The engine revved and raced up to about 6500 RPM as I held my right foot on the brake pedal. With much braking force, I did get the car to slow and stop. I then pressed the park button and hit the stop button to kill the engine. After a few moments, I then re-started the car and pulled over to the curb. …”
NHTSA complaint #10705648, filed 2015-04, 1,790 miles“This is a brand new vehicle lease Bmw 2015 328XI , for my wife - we just picked it up on 10/31/14, the brakes failed to respond!!!!!!! My wife was driving with my daughter and the car would not stop with her firmly pressing on the brakes approaching a busy intersection!!!! She finally got it to stop after shifting it into park. Extremely dangerous!!! They should replace this new vehicle for us immediately with another one of equal or higher value that we can hopefully trust assembled properly in germany. This Bmw dealer never told us he was getting us one from south africa. …”
