I was driving down the street from my home and I slowed down turned right and my car was out of control I steered to the curb. I got out and saw that the tire had blown-up and a large piece of the tire which was cut in half was on the ground. I couldn-??t drive the car I called a tow truck driver who was there within 30 min he towed my car to BMW. It hasn-??t been fully inspected I am waiting for USAA to inspect with Spectrum collision. Several people from the collision company have said it may be a tire failure.

I was slowly pulling into a parking space and as I applied pressure to the brakes, there was no response. In fact the car seemed to rev up and accelerate, jumping the curb and ramming a tree. I was able to steer away from the tree to avoid hitting the center of the front end, but smashing the left front. Even after hitting the tree the car did not slow and I-??m trying to pump the brakes, there was no response-?? I kept going over a grassy area, across a sidewalk and back into the driveway in front of the building, finally the brakes engaged and the car came to a stop. I was then able to pull into another space safely out of the way. I was so lucky it was only 7:15 am and no pedestrians were around and no other vehicles. So I did not hit anyone and did not injure myself.

Parking distance control is faulty and sometimes locks up the brakes in a jarring manner when backing up even when there is nothing behind the car, close to the car or in the adjacent parking spaces. BMW even says to turn off pdc when using parking assistant plus. Manual says car can still hit curb using pdc. 3 times already
