My BMW is signaling -??Secure vehicle against rolling-?? notification when put in reverse. The Mechanics are saying that BMWS e springs are defected. Very dangerous for me and my children.

The sunroof water drains back up and causes water to pool in the cargo area where electronic components are stored (wheel well like area) which causes an alarm to go off and hatchback malfunctions. My previous X3 had hatchback issues too. BMW states the frame that sun roof sits in is cracked but not caused by user behavior.

August 19, 2017 I pulled into my driveway at a very low speed and applied the brakes to park. The car aggressively accelerated even though my foot was on the brake. The car went through my neighbors fences and it finally stopped between two garages behind my property on the next street. I could not open the doors or windows for a minute or two. I do not feel safe driving this car again.
