VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS IS THE 2ND INCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME WAS WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR HAD UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION (RUN-AWAY VEHICLE). THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS IN CAR AS I MERGED ONTO HIGHWAY. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS TIME, FEW DAYS AGO, EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT I REACTED MORE QUICKLY AND IT WAS ON A STRAIGHT AWAY, SO THE SITUATION WAS NOT AS DESPERATE. THE DEALER SAID THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DISLODGED, WHICH WAS PRECISELY WHAT OCCURED THE FIRST TIME. THEY REPAIRED IT, AS FAR AS I KNOW, BUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING LOOSE CAUSING ACCELERATOR TO GET STUCK IS A TERRIBLE, AND POSSIBLE LIFE-THREATENING HAZARD. I HOPE THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I WROTE A LETTER TO THE CEO OF BMW AND HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE. *SW*AK

AFTER PURCHASING MY 2011 528I I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY FROM A STOP OR AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, IT ACTUALLY FELT LIKE IT WAS APPLYING THE BREAKS UNTIL YOU APPLIED CLOSE TO HALF THROTTLE THEN IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND RECEIVED A PATCH AND PROGRAMMING WHICH MADE NO CHANGE. TO TOP ALL OF THIS OFF IT PICKS AND CHOOSES WHEN ITS GOING TO DRIVE "NORMAL" SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT....THIS IS UNSAFE...... ON THE FREEWAY IT WONT DOWNSHIFT TO PASS UNLESS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, THE MOTOR JUST LUGS AND WONT GIVE YOU THE EXPECTED RESPONSE CAUSING CARS AND TRUCKS ALIKE TO BE CUT OFF BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED.... I CANT BELIEVE BMW IS ALLOWING ITS FLAGSHIP MODEL THE 5 SERIES TO HAVE THESE ISSUES AND NOT ADDRESS THEM.... THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT AS DESCRIBED BY MANY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND LEFT AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH A $300.00 ALIGNMENT????? I'M CONCERNED WITH GETTING STUCK WITH A LEMON $50,000 CAR THAT I WONT BE ABLE TO SELL, ATLEAST OFFER A BUY BACK PROGRAM??? HELP!!!!! *TR
