I was parking when I totally lost control of my car. I could not steer it and I could not break. I went left while I was attempting to brake but I had no brakes. I attempted to go straight and hit one parked car. Then I went right and damaged another car then the car hit a 3 car. Then the car stopped. I receive a BMW assist message regarding having an accident then the screen went dead. I was parking my car. Few weeks before I received the following message: Chassis stabilization problems. You can continue driving but take your car to the dealer ( something like that). I stopped the car and the message went away. Never came back. So I was planning to talk about it to the dealer when going for the next appointment. I was parking in a place I know very well, hispital parking.

Traveling East bound through an alley in order to make a right turn onto a South-North running city street. Brake was first applied approximately two-car length (distance wise) before the intersection. I noticed the vehicle was acting funny: Instead of slowly coming to a stop, it picked up speed. I felt as if something was disengaged and the car was flying off without gravity. I hit the brake again as the car was dashing into the intersection. The vehicle was again accelerated on its own, completely out of control. At that moment a trash truck was traveling South bound. Both the driver and the passenger in the trash truck were looking at me in disbelief (that my vehicle was dashing out into the main road). We were eyeballed at each other, approximately at an 45 degree angle, for several seconds, before the two cars were collided. The outcome could have been fetal if the time and angles of the collision were off by a split of second. My vehicle was totaled though.

The vehicle was moving and when I tried to stop because the car in front of me stopped. My car had a brake failure and caused an accident. ABS and/or the collusion deterrent system engaged to avoid this accident.
