“My car was on for about 5 minutes. I didn’t mean to step on the gas but I did and the car wouldn’t stop accelerating. Like the car is in park and I took my foot ass the gas but it’s still an uncontrolled acceleration issue. It revved up to the redline or highest rpm and stayed like that for 2 minutes. The only was for me to stop it was turn the car off.”
NHTSA complaint #11766839, filed 2026-09“Subject: Concern Regarding Daytime Brightness Levels in BMW 330e Instrument Cluster I am reaching out to express a concern I've encountered with the instrument cluster in my 2023 BMW 330e. It has come to my attention that, unlike many other vehicles, the instrument cluster in my BMW does not maintain full brightness during the day. The absence of manual brightness control, combined with the behavior of the ambient brightness sensor, seems to result in an excessively dim display, especially in bright daylight conditions. …”
NHTSA complaint #11567091, filed 2024-01“On one occasion, the car automatically applied the breaks and parked itself while driving on a main road. On another occasion, while parking the car at the home it accelerated aggressively and almost crashed into the garage- driver lost complete control of the car. On a separate occasion, the gauge console (screen behind the steering wheel) became morphed and could not show the MPH- an electrical glitch it seemed. The last occasion the car stopped and parked itself while accelerating or braking on the highway.”
