problem #3

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.

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.

On Aug, 7th I was involved in a minor accident on the expressway. The 1st vehicle applied their brakes to avoid another 2 car accident, I applied my brakes as well however I was unable to slow down in time to avoid the 1st vehicle and I rear ended the vehicle. Both vehicles had slight damaged to their bumpers. No injuries were reported. During the time of me applying my brakes I had enough time and distance to make a judgment call to a. hit the call in front of me or B. hit the concrete wall medium, while at the same time saying 'wow' I am really about to hit this car. I wrestled with the thought of my brakes malfunctioned that day. Taking everything into account on a brand new car the brakes failed. When I applied my brakes it seems like I glided into the other car also I had my lunch bag and purse in the front seat. None of the items in the front seat went flying to the floor. They were still in tack in the front seat when I pulled over. Finally this is my 2nd BMW (1st purchase in 2009) I know how they drive and handled if the car was operating correctly I would have stop with no problem. I have reached out to BMW North american to inquire about recalls and report the problem on 8/25/2014 however I have not heard nor been able to get in contact with my case manager to date.
