As I was driving on a bridge my car completely went into a stop. Breaks instantly locked and my car would not drive, turn on, or go on neutral the breaks stayed in lock. Police offerup even tried to see if it's a simple break button. Nothing worked I was in the middle of a bridge lucky the car behind me swerved right away and myself and my daughter were safe. I called my sister who lived down the street, she came right away and parked behind me with her emergency safety lights on. The car went into shock I couldn't even put it in neutral so I can move it from the middle of the bridge. Towed it to BMW now they say it's the computer system and the wires of the car that connects to the computer. Cost to fix is over 3,500 I can not afford to fix. I have 4 teenage kids and now no car because I cannot afford to pay for the car services. In the past 3 years I have paid over 8K in repairs by BMW dealership services. This is not fair

The car loss power and shutdown with me twice while driving on the highway. (95 North)error messages "electrical system malfunction continue driving is not possible. Have the system checked by the nearest BMW center", "transmission malfunction"," restraint system malfunction", "fault in passenger-restraint system" the second time that happened to me, I had the car towed by aaa at 5am after work. The car parking brake was luck, so aaa had to drag the into the flat bed, this is a serious issue BMW makes a lot of money therefore should be held accountable and fix the issue before someone get kill. The cause is water getting into the trunk and socking all the electrical wires in the truck of the car causing everything to go crazy. BMW is aware of the issue. I saw a few class action case against BMW for the issues I have here.

Was driving on the freeway at 100 km / H when three high pop arrival. Went out to edge. There was oil on the road. I got a tow truck and moved the car to the workshop. It found that out the drive shaft had given him. It entered and broke the oil pan of the machine. I've seen many posts about this problem but my car is not under warranty. But I see many BMW owners around the world have received this repair of BMW. This is a very expensive repair.
