2007 BMW 335i. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle sudden acceleration. The consumer stated as he merged into traffic, the accelerator pedal became stuck to the floor, which caused the vehicle to accelerate. The consumer was able to push the gear into neutral. However, the engine continued to redline and he was forced to feather the clutch, in order to get off the road. BMW claimed the consumer pushed the pedal too hard, and therefore there was no defect in the design. The consumer stated the attachment, that held the pedal in place, slipped out of the plastic clip.

I went to lift the hood, expecting to be overwhelmed by heat and conditions that would cause a BMW to disable suddenly and lose power. I observed no conditions of heat or unusual to cause a shut down. I was able to turn car on again in 10 minutes with no problems the temperature was no different or warmer than I have ever felt before, conditions were 72/*f, traffic was moving along at a good flow, with light cool bay area breeze. This has occurred 3times now, I have filled the coolant, I have had the starter and battery replaced and yet the same occurrence comes up. . Read more...
