X3

  • 14,500 miles
2016 BMW X3 xdrive28 I I pulled into a friend's driveway and applied the brakes approximately 2 feet from the closed garage door. My car "leapt " into the side of the house, then careened into the garage door. The car accelerated with such force that both airbags were deployed. I am sure that I did not hit the accelerator by accident. At the close proximity to the garage I could not have accelerated to cause such a violent crash that deployed the airbags. My car was declared a " total loss ". this was one of the more frightening experiences of my life. It all happened in a split second. I am thankful that I was not in traffic.
