Disconnect coupling on cylinder head broke caused loss of coolant from engine. Overheated my Car damaged the engine and the car did accelerate when I was crossing a highway almost causing a collision

I pulled out onto Southside Blvd. My brakes failed, my driver’s front of the car hit a Waste Management garbage truck right back tire and cut the sidewall of the tire. The engine was racing, the truck pulled off the road, and I had sudden unintended acceleration. I immediately turned into a strip center and my car was racing through the strip center, the brakes were not working, the car controls were not working, and I turned the ignition switch off and the car stopped. The car had to be towed. Presently my insurance company has issued an estimate to repair the cosmetic issues, but not the mechanical issues.

In Oct 2022, I was driving normally and suddenly got a message on the dash saying something like "Coolant low, please top up when you have a chance". A minute or so later, I got the red warning "Engine Overheated, turn off engine when safe" and it went into limp mode, and I pulled over immediately and had to flatbed my car to a dealer. Then told me there was a coolant leak (which I was not aware and there was no error message regarding coolant prior to the incident.) And they told me there was a recall on my vehicle coolant vent line. Although I had check NHTSA website frequently and did not see anything being recalled. They replaced the coolant vent line for free. Fast forward 21 months and less than 5000 miles later, I brought the car in for oil change. Upon inspection of my vehicle, the...

My BMW 430i 2018showed no warning and suddenly the car started to shake, I stopped immediately and after the car cooled, there was no coolant, the oil temperature gage was always on normal. The car overheated and caused catastrophic engine failure, and need replacement. Upon inspection by several mechanics, its obvious the coolant leak from a hose that connects with engine block

When I cold started the car it rattled and shook, this stopped and the car was fine to drive. When I was on the road the cars check engine light came on and the car suddenly slowed down. An error popped up saying that there is a “powertrain malfunction”. BMW dealership said that it is a failure in VANOS system. There was a recall on other BMW models expect mine, 2018 BMW 4 series.

I was driving along the road and my car without warning overheated. I was able to drive to a safe place and park and contacted BMW of Southpoint Durham, NC. I was told that there was a recall on the hose which caused the car to overheat. I was told that they are waiting for BMW to issue the corrected/replacement hose for the car and in the meantime they would put a temporary hose on the car. I was told to pay out of pocket and then be reimbursed when the correct hose is issued by BMW. Many others had this same issue. BMW of Southpoint received the correct hose 2023 and put it on my car but now BMW is saying there was no recall. My safety and others were at risk because the engine could have caught fire, it could've caused me to lose control and crash. I...
