Starting Dec 1st, the check engine light displayed on my dash and the electrical system has malfunctioned for many features of my vehicle. I am unable to switch to Sport & Eco Mode. The car also takes multiple tries to start the engine. It has been almost 4 months since the recall announcement and remediations are still not available. the engine coolant pump is a direct cause of short circuits and engine problems

WHILE DRIVING 70MPH CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL COASTING TO A STOP. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE GAS CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITTUATION AS WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, IT WOULD NOT START AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL FOR TOWING PURPOSES. REPAIR SHOP SAID THE TIMING CHAIN HAD WENT OUT SEIZING AND RUINING THE ENGINE. 15K REPAIR BILL, VERY DANGEROUS SITTUATION HAVING NO CONTROL OVER A VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY DRIVING!

CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION DUE TO A SENSOR MALFUNCTION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. AS SOON AS I BEGIN DRIVING, THE MALFUNCTION MESSAGE BEGINS AND REPEATS CONSTANTLY AS I DRIVE. THIS MALFUNCTION DISABLES ALL OF THE FEATURES ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS IN THE NAVIGATION SCREEN REPEATEDLY WHEN DRIVING. IT IS DISTRACTING AND PREVENTS ME FROM USING HANDS FREE FUNCTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER ADVISES IT IS $1,000 TO REPAIR. I NEVER USED THE CRUISE CONTROL, NOR DO I NEED IT.

PURSUANT TO THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT AND THIS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY DUTY, I AM SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT AGAINST BMW AUTO MAKER. WE OWN A 2014 BMW 328I XDRIVE GT IN WHICH MY WIFE, (SAFE DRIVER), HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 06/26/2018 DUE TO "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" WHILE PARKING, LEAVING TWO (2) FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH SERIOUS BACK INJURIES. WHILE SHE WAS PARKING AND AT FULL STOP WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED, THE VEHICLE SUDDEN FORCEFULLY ACCELERATED AND TOOK OFF JUMPING OVER A 12 INCH PARKING LOT BARRIER WALL LANDING 4 FEET DOWN ON A FOUR (4) LANES BUSY ROAD, WATERS AVENUE (TAMPA, FL). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL BMW (REEVES, TAMPA, FL) DEALER WERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN SERVICING THE CAR. THE BMW AFTER CHARGING $190.00, CLAIMED TO BE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADMIT HAVING THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS THIS BMW 328I SERIES CONTRARY TO THIS AGENCY CLAIMS AND OTHER DISCLOSED IN PUBLIC MEDIA. THE DEALER DID NOT EVEN CHANGE THE ACCELERATION SENSOR FOR SAFETY UNCERTAIN. FURTHERMORE, BE AWARE, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE EXPERIENCE THIS VEHICLE "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" MALFUNCTION AS IN 2016 DID IT AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED WHILE PARKING, STILL IN SLOW MOTION, ONTO A HANDICAP SIGN AND A PARKING LOT LANDSCAPE ISLAND (IN FRONT IF A BEST BUY STORE). LIKEWISE, AT THAT TIME THE DEALER (REVEES) CLAIMED TO BE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC CHECK DID NOT SHOWED ANOMALIES. WE HAVE PICTURES, POLICE REPORT, AMBULANCE REPORTS OF LATEST INCIDENT AND A BUSINESS RECORDED THE INCIDENT ON A SITE SECURITY CAMERA, SO EVIDENCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. IT IS A SAD DAY FOR US TO EXPERIENCE BMW NOT DOING ANYTHING TO RESPOND TO OUR CLAIM AND/OR AT LEAST PREVENT FURTHER SAFETY HUMAN AND PROPERTY INJURIES RESULTING IN TRAGEDIES.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR REPORTED AN ERROR "CHASSIS: DRIVE MODERATELY. CONSULT SERVICE CENTER." THERE WERE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE SERVICE CENTER.
