NHTSA Complaint #11446643 — 2016 BMW 428I

On January 7, 2022 I was driving in the neighborhood and applied the brake to stop. As the car was slowing down, the engine revved to 3,000 RPM making stopping difficult. I came to a full stop and the engine continued to rev. I quickly lifted my foot off the brake pedal and re-applied the brake pedal and the RPM returned to idle. On the same day about an hour later, I experienced the same issue at a shopping center, only this time the engine RPM suddenly increased to 4,000 RPM. I tried to place the transmission in Park, but it wouldn't let me. I temporarily lifted my foot off the brake pedal and re-applied and the RPM returned to normal. In both cases I was able to bring the car to a full stop but had to apply heavy pressure on the pedal.
