Consumer Description

PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PARK, THE CAR KEPT LUNGING FORWARD WITH A REVING SOUND, NOT CONSTANT BUT PULSE SATING UNTIL THE VEHICLE HIT A CONCRETE WALL. THE AIRBAG NEVER WENT OFF. I WENT ONLINE LATER TO FIND THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED BMW AND A REP. STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN" MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS NEVER BEEN BMW FAULT." SHE SENT A BMW ENGINEER OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE HE FINALLY INSPECTED IT 3 WEEKS LATER. THREE WEEKS LATER I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM ABOUT THE RESULTS. THERE IS OVER $9,000.00 IN DAMAGES.
