BMW 325 owners have reported 3 problems related to car accelerates on its own (under the vehicle speed control category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On may 12, 2014, as I pulled into my driveway, I put the vehicle into park, so that I can open the garage door, to get inside of my garage. As I put my foot on the brake and proceeded to put the vehicle into drive, the vehicle surged forward unexpectedly, at a high rate of acceleration. I instinctively applied the brakes, however, this sudden unintended acceleration, safety defect, caused me to crash into the backside wall of my garage, thus causing extensive damage. It should be noted that the airbag failed to deploy, which may have something to do the November 2013, BMW recall relating to air bags. The mileage on the vehicle was 14,240, at the time that this sudden unintended acceleration defect, manifested itself. The vehicle was towed to my local BMW dealership, however, because this sudden unintended acceleration defect, is more than likely, embedded operating system related, the dealership's service technicians were unable to find a hardware related, mechanical cause, to this stated defect. On may 30, 2014, I picked up my vehicle from the dealership, with my husband accompanying me. As I arrived on my street and about to put the vehicle into park, the vehicle surged forward unexpectedly, once again, almost striking my postal carrier. My husband, as well as my postal carrier, were witnesses to this second incidence of sudden unintended acceleration. The mileage of the vehicle, at the time of this second occurrence, of the stated defect is 14,247. It should be noted that sudden unintended acceleration has plagued BMW vehicles, since at least the 1990's. BMW 325 1990, BMW 750il 1991, BMW 525 1992, BMW 318is 1993, BMW 528i 1997, BMW 328i 1998, BMW 318 1998, BMW 528i 1998, BMW 328i 1999, BMW 528i 1999, BMW r1100 1999, BMW 750li 2006, BMW 530i 2007, BMW 1 series, etc. , have all been reported by BMW owners as having this sudden unintended acceleration, safety defect.

I had a well documented episode of unintended acceleration (foot on brake, car revved suddenly, then I flipped it into neutral). This occurred about 2 years ago. No one was injured. I brought the car to the dealership which identified a problem in the computer system. I have a copy of the records. I thought that this might be useful in other investigations of sudden unintended acceleration.

The consumer pulled out of a parking space, stopped at a stop sign, made a left turn, drove a few yards, stopped again, proceeded to make a right turn and without warning the vehicle accelerated forward at an estimate speed of 45 mph. The consumer immediately pumped the brake pedal to no avail. The consumer struggled to steer the vehicle from a two lane busy street. The vehicle crashed into a grassy embankment. All four tires blew out when this occurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. After a factory engineer inspected the vehicle, they found no cause for the sudden acceleration. The tires were replaced. . . . . . . .
