I like to report the incident with the sudden collapsing of the ECU car electronic on 01/23/2022 during night, which had raised my serious concerns regarding the car safety in general. During driving the car in the nighttime of Sunday 01/23/2022, my wife was on her way to return from Pompano, FL to her home in Plantation, FL, using the Turnpike, she experienced that ECU engine speed control had repeatedly sudden changes in engine revolutions, all indication lights at the dashboard went on and then all went off.

2014 BMW X5 XDRIVE. AS I AM ENTERING A PARKING SPOT, MOVING FORWARD, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP MY CAR, AND INSTEAD OF DOING THAT, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED QUICKLY. TRIED TO CLICK PARKING BUT THE CAR HARD STOPPED BECAUSE IT HIT THE ROCK IN THAT AREA IN FRONT OF ME. ABLE TO PUT IT INTO PARKING AFTER IT HIT THE ROCK. FRONT RIGHT BUMPER DAMAGED PRETTY SEVERELY. FORTUNATELY NO ONE HURT BUT IF WE ROLLED PAST THE ROCK ALL 5 OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD AS THERE IS A VALLEY INFRONT OF US. SIMILAR THING HAPPENED 10 MONTHS BACK WHEN WE ARE AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ENGINE REVVED UP AND MOVED FORWARD. WHEN WE CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID NO RECALLS AT THAT TIME.

PEDESTRIAN (DAYTIME) WARNING AND AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED SPONTANEOUSLY ON AN EMPTY STREET - THERE WAS NO PEDESTRIAN IN SIGHT AND NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SUDDENLY BRAKE VIOLENTLY AND A TRUCK RIGHT BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAS POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AGAIN IN A MORE CROWDED STREET. IT IS DISCONCERTING TO DRIVE A CAR THAT MAY SUDDENLY BRAKE WITHOUT WARNING! *TR
