Bmw 320I problems and owner complaints

RE: TCN-KDN21-40701 ON 9/17/13 I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY CAR AS IT ROLLED DOWN A HILL - ALTHOUGH I APPLIED THE BRAKES.

WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, THE FUEL PUMP FAILED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. LUCKILY, I WAS ON A CITY STREET, NOT ON A HIGHWAY! OVER 18,000 SIMILAR YEAR/MODEL CARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME REASON A FEW YEARS AGO (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V189000), BUT NOT MINE. NOW I AM FACED WITH A $2,400 BILL TO GET IT REPLACED!!
