Owner report 10662082 · 2014-12-03 (December 3, 2014)
I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. I ENTERED A SPACE TO PARK, PRESSING BRAKES. THE CAR DID NOT STOP AND HIT A CEMENT BARRIER. I WAS UNINJURED BUT IT CAUSED NEARLY $6,000 WORTH OF VEHICLE DAMAGE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR SAME YEAR 328I'S. ALLSTATE REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 328D'S. WOULD NOT THESE TWO VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM? I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *JS

I PULLED SLOWLY INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE GAS STATION. I STOPPED AND I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I WAS PRESSING THE PARK BUTTON WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD, ACCELERATED OVER THE CURB AND INTO THE OUTSIDE WALL OF THE STORE. THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS ENOUGH TO RENDER IT UNDRIVEABLE AND THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING. THANK GOODNESS, NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS RESPONDED. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING MY 2014 BMW 328D I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND THE CAR HIT THE BRAKES SO HARD THAT THE SEAT BELT PINNED ME AGAINST THE SEAT AND MY CHEST HURT AFTER THAT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. I CALLED BMW ROADSIDE AND THE POLICE TO ASSIST WITH TRAFFIC SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WAS LATE EVENING AND RAINING ALSO. THE POLICE OFFICER TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR BUT THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED AND WAS UNABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR MOVE.

VEHICLE CRUISING AT 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT WITH NO WARNING. IT SIMPLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND CUT THE ENGINE, RENDERING THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL SINCE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING WERE NOT WORKING. THE CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING ON A CITY SURFACE STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45MPH. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IMPLODED, SENDING METAL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. AGAIN THERE WAS NO WARNING AND BRAKING/STEERING WERE AFFECTED.
