2017 BMW 330E Unknown Or Other Problems

Unsure of the exact cause, appears to be the high voltage battery/electric drive function that is faulty. It is creating a hazardous condition causing the vehicle to propel itself forward while driving in traffic and almost hitting other vehicles on the roadway when the electric drive fails or it switches between battery and the engine. If it’s not propelling itself forward, it’s unexpectedly decreasing power and preventing the vehicle from driving after stopping for traffic, traffic signals and traffic signs. Increasing the risk for a rear-end collision. The electric drive is failing & rapidly switching between battery & engine multiple times in a short period. Likely increasing risk for a fire hazard. This is putting the driver & others on the roadway at risk due to increased collision and fire risks. Ferman BMW has recreated the issue.

WHILE THE CAR WAS PLUGGED IN OVERNIGHT IN THE GARAGE, (IT IS A HYBRID), A TERRIBLE ODOR WAS RELEASED AND CARBON MONOXIDE WAS DETECTED. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TWICE (THIS OCCURRED TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW) AND DETECTED HIGH LEVELS OF CO FROM INSIDE THE CAR AND FROM THE HOOD. WE NEEDED TO EVACUATE THE HOUSE EACH TIME. GAS COMPANY AND PLUMBER CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO OTHER ISSUES IN GARAGE. UPON REMOVAL OF THE CAR, ISSUES NO LONGER PERSIST. BMW CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT I REFUSE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, GIVEN SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, TURNED OFF, LOCKED, AND CHARGING OVERNIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH TWO PASSENGERS AND THE CAR SUDDENLY BECAME TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE. I MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD ON A VERY BUSY STREET. I CONTACTED BMW AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THE YELLOW ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN THE CAR STARTED AND I MANAGED TO DRIVE TO MY HOUSE WHICH WAS CLOSE TO WHERE IT DIED ON THE ROAD. A TOW TRUCK IS ON ITS WAY TO BRING IT TO FLEMINGTON BMW. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT AT APPROXIMATELY 5:05 PM TO BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS (TAWNY) WHO PROVIDED ME WITH YOUR WEBSITE. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO SERVICE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY FAULT...
