“On 10/25/26 the vehicle suddenly lost power and became immobile as I started to drive. Then the parking brake could not be released, doors and windows were stuck in the open position, the trunk was stuck locked. The key fob was functional but the vehicle displayed more error messages when I tried to use the fob as directed by BMW Roadside Assistance. My safety was put at risk because the car failed suddenly as I was exiting a parking lot and about to enter the freeway and would have been dangerous to lose complete power on the freeway. The vehicle was towed to the BMW dealership. …”
