Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While driving in a parking lot at approx. 3-5 MPH, my 2005 530I suddenly accelerated while my foot was on the brake. I pushed on the brake pedal as hard as possible to slow the vehicle, then quickly shifted the automatic transmission into park and turned off the key. I took the car to the Bmw dealer where I bought the car. They were unable to find the problem, so they have brought in engineers from Bmw north america to analyze and fix the problem.”
