My vehicle had a crash before receiving the recall on 28th august 2023 at 10.00am. The car swerved to the right and dashed on a parked car. There were no injuries.

When I leased and brought the car within 15 days the same side tyre had burst but the road was clear and I could take care . I got a new car tyre fitted at my cost from the Seattle BMW dealership office. In the current accident before I could realize anything the car had dashed. The speed …

Twice this month while driving normally and at a moderate speed a message flashed on the monitor that the emergency braking system was engaged. The car slowed dramatically and suddenly. Without thinking I braked or pressed the accelerator. Luckily, the car returned to normal speed. When the braking system engaged unsecured objects were thrown around. If a car was behind me I could have easlily been rear ended.
