This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was slowing to a stop in rush hour traffic, went to brake and the engine revved up to 300 rpms and lurched forward, almost hitting the car in front of me. Traffic was crawling so I was only going about 20 mph before I was about to make a complete stop.
There's been a recall on the parts that control the flow or speed of the ac unit in the car, also the airflow. There's several other recalls on this car. A notice was originally sent out to me in November of 2017. It's now August of 2018 and another notice has not been sent out. I've reached out to BMW on this issue was simply told that if smoke or a fire starts in my car, to pull over and dial 911. The fact I can't use my ac in Arizona is out of control, it's extremely hot here. Earlier in the year it was okay since it was cooler but now temps are reaching over 110 degrees. I did find the part but also asked for a reimbursement if I were to purchase it and was told I'd still have to wait for a second letter. Why should I need to wait for a second letter for something there's a recall on? especially something that can put myself or child in damage or other people.

Takata recall on December 25, 2015 at approximately 5:20 a.M. my 2010 328I BMW skidded off hwy 99 southbound going towards lax. Vehicle skidded as caused by the black ice on road, resulting in us crashing into the left guard rail. My mother and I felt the entire impact of vehicle. I, as the driver, hit my head on the driver side window causing severe whiplash and a sprained neck. I had to crawl out of the vehicle because I was trapped inside, due to impact of crash being on the left side of vehicle. Once chp arrived, my car was towed off the hwy. The BMW's airbags did not deploy at the time of impact causing me severe neck and head injuries. I was traveling 65 mph, no higher than speed limit. Want to know why airbags did not deploy and if my neck and head injuries could have been avoided. I have hospital documents if necessary.
I was driving on the highway 295 around 67 mph. While I was on the highway about 10 minutes I felt a loss of speed about five times. It feel like I let go the gas pedal, but I never did. And suddenly the car stalled while I was on 67 mph. I try to pulled to the right side lane of the highway. I try to start the car back up but it won't start. I keep tryin for about ten times and it about half an hour went by it start back up again.
