While pulling into a parking at low speed vehicle accelerated violently causing it to crash over the curb and airbags deployed. Minutes before this crash I noticed several instances where the vehicle seemed to accelerate and RPM rised on its own while I was not pressing the accelerator. The drivers side door airbag seems to have malfunctioned and did not deploy.

I was following my husband home from working around 5pm on July 28th and as he preceded to turn left, I observed traffic and saw it was safe to follow through as well. As I was turning another gentleman came through the light going approximately 45-50mph and we had a collision. My damage to my vehicle was in the front and the car was therefore totaled. At the time of the accident my airbags did not deploy and I proceeded to hit my forehead on the steering wheel. His airbags did deploy and he was in a 2013 328I and I was in a 2011 328I. I would like to see if this has happened before or why mine did not deploy...updated 10/06/14 updated 3/25/2015.....updated 12/09/15. Updated 05/17/2017

At temperature above 87 degrees F (after a full day in open parking lot under sun) as indicated on the car's dashboard, the seat belt sensor of the car malfunctioned. Even though I had my seat belt firmly clasped but the car kept on beeping seatbelt warning for about 5-10 minutes until the temperature inside the car dropped to less than 87 degrees F. the seatbelt warning went away after I opened the window and let the car cool down or switched on ac in the car. This is a repeatable problem and can be reproduced if my car is kept in direct summer sun for an afternoon and has occurred a number of times in the past. Since airbag sensors interact with the faulty seatbelt sensors so it has potentially serious safety consequences and need to be addressed by BMW as soon as possible.

My daughter was traveling on I-95 South in St augustine fl, when several cars came to a sudden stop. My daughter was unable to stop and hit a SUV, she was applying her brakes. The air bag did not deploy. My daughter was injured in the accident, I think something is wrong because the air bag did not deploy and felt the need to report it.

2011 BMW 328I. Consumer writes in regards to air bag malfunction. The consumer stated after the vehicle was purchased, she noticed when driving at a speed of 10 mph or lower, applying the brake, or pulling into a parking space, the vehicle would surge forward unexpectedly. The consumer experienced the same surging for a second time, as she pulled into a parking space. The vehicle went over a curb and into some bushes. As a result, she received whip-lash to her neck and slightly bruised her elbows, knees and hurt her chest on the steering wheel. BMW sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle and concluded nothing was wrong with the vehicle. After picking up the vehicle a week later, the consumer and her husband continued to experience the same issue. A month later, the consumers husband pulled into a parking space when the vehicle unexpectedly surged forward and hit a parked SUV in front of him, which caused damage to the front bumper. The vehicle was returned to the dealer, where they kept it for two weeks. The dealer stated the vehicle was fine and it was ready for pick-up. However, two days later, the vehicle surged again, as the consumer was approaching a stop light. The consumer stated the vehicle has been inspected three times, without any success of finding the problem. The mechanism/gear would shift when driving at a low speed or riding the brake at a low speed when coming to a stop. Also, the vehicle sagged on the right side, which has been acknowledged by the mechanics, but it cannot be fixed. Updated 05/13/14. Updated 06/10/14

BMW 328/2011- poor rain handling & lack of airbag(s) deploying in crash where car was totaled. I was driving in the rain and visibility was fine. My car started to hydroplane and started fishtailing, then spun out of control and into a guard rail on I-95. My airbags did not deploy. My car has been declared a "total loss." I have had 5 cars and 2 of them were BMW 3 series. My 2007 BMW never had a problem. I've never had an accident before this one and am confident driving in the rain. I do not feel that my BMW performed like it should have. I did not suffer "serious" injuries but am having to go to a chiroprator and get deep tissue massage twice weekly. I'm not sure if the airbags would have helped my situation (I hit my head and am having what I'm sure are "normal" problems after an auto accident.)
