On December 27, 2023, vehicle was taken to the service center of the dealership where it was purchased. The primary concern was that the car would at times suddenly launch forward and increase in speed on its own. Employees/repairmen test drove the vehicle, scanned the codes and the concern was not duplicated. On January 14, 2024, when slowing to park this vehicle, it suddenly raced forward, causing driver to hit a post. I have this documentation. Vehicle was totaled (at loss to me). I need some remedy.

I purchased a vehicle in good faith from BMW on 12/23/2019 what I thought would be a great christmas present, for myself. Little did I know I was buying a road hazard. In less than two months a tire light came on, I took the vehicle a guy a the service desk reset the light it never went off I then took the vehicle again to have it looked at and I was told it was a $4600 repair. I was totally taken aback. I advised the dealership that I would not pay for a problem that was clearly there when I purchased the vehicle. I told BMW I would not pay for the repair of $4600, considering it appeared to be an underline problem that was not disclosed when I purchased the vehicle.

Vehicle intermittently lost power in motion on a highway causing the speed to drop at times from 55 to 45 until slowing down to a stop and intermittently caused random alerts to come on such as "door open" when driving when door was locked/not opened or powertrain alert or chassis stabilizer alert. This happened prior to hid installs but occurred more frequently with hid installment. Dealership discovered the accelerator pedal module was faulty. Very unsafe. Apparently the extra voltage from the lights was the reason for the increased duration for this faulty issue. Multiple reports of this on forums. Car is only at 46K.

Driving on 3 lane road traveling approx 20-30 miles per hr cars ahead of me stopped and I applied the breaks and nothing happened, car kept going and I hit the car in front of me. Seemed like the car didn't even slow down.

Message on dash: Park brake malfunction

- South Orleans, MA, USA

The contact owns a 2014 BMW X3. While driving 30 mph, the brakes failed when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the contact swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid rear ending a vehicle. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the technician could not find a failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 29,000.

It's winter I was wearing ight ll bean boots. Came to a stop sign put right foot on the brake pressed on the brake to stop and the car accelerated the harder I pressed the more it wanted to accelerate.I realized that the accelerator and brake pedal are close together and at the approximate same hight from the floor. I purchased this car yesterday. I called the dealership I purchased it from as I had another issue with the finance papers, I had also sent them a email explaining what happened. The finance person was aware of my email and told me the same thing happened to him moving cars in the lot he actually ran into the back of a X5 because of it. He recommended putting a piece of wood on the brake pedal to raise it from the gas pedal. My concern is this is a safety issue and someone is going to get badly hurtby not be able to stop and going into a intersection with flowing traffic.
