VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

throttle response to pressing accelerator lags dangerously. have had numerous instances where lack of response has placed me in dangerous situations. sometimes it takes a few seconds before there is adequate response so car does not move or accelerates very slowly even though accelerator pressed down all the way. almost got rear-ended last night as i pulled out of a driveway onto a road and oncoming cars nearly rear-ended my car because my 2011 bmw 328i would not respond appropriately to my pressing down on the accelerator pedal; the car barely accelerated and even slowed further for a few seconds before the throttle responded and began picking up speed. this is very dangerous. i had this car in for service at the bmw earlier yesterday and they service advisor told me that this is a common problem for these cars, but they don't have a fix for it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

this vehicle was purchased used and before the manufacturer's 50,000 mile warranty period expired. since 1/2013, this vehicle has been in and out of the service shop for ignition coil issues. since january 2013, this vehicle has had 3 ignition coils replaced, one during the extended warranty, one that i paid for and one that was completed gratis. my concern is that this appears to be some type of manufacturer's defect and i am very concerned about my safety. so much so that i contacted bmw north america during the week of december 26, 2013 and spoke with [xxx]. when i asked to speak with the president of bmw north america, i was told by [xxx] that there would be no further escalation beyond her because her job was to resolve issues and she basically pushed my concern aside as the wind blows leaves. this is a major safety issue that bmw needs to resolve immediately before someone loses their life. i have done research on the internet and have found that this is an ongoing issue with bmw's which i have now come to understand = bring more worry. i have owned over 10 cars in my lifetime and never have i experienced so many trips to the repair shop!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

POWER TRAIN

this vehicle was purchased nov. 2011. ever since, we've experienced the following: the mechanism/gear seems to want to shift to a faster gear when riding the brake at a lower speed to come to a stop, which in turn causes the car to surge forward. i had an accident due to this problem. i was injured and still suffering from the accident. bmw mechanics/engineer inspected the car but could not find the problem. also, the car sags on the right side rear, which was seen and acknowledged by the bmw. they said that the sag is within bmw specs. this vehicle was purchased with only 3,684 miles. we were told that one of their wealthy clients leased it while waiting for his porch to arrive. we discovered later from the car fax that the vehicle had a prior owner and was purchased for commercial use. we feel that this vehicle came with a defect from the manufacturer. we continue to experience this problem with the vehicle, which we feel is a danger to us and the public. we've already had two accidents due to this problem; one by me and the other by my husband. we drive it with the awareness of its danger but are not always in a situation to control the vehicle with it surges forward. thank you for your assistance in this matter.

as i was moving my car from a small parking lot near my home, i was reversing the car and noticed there was a sudden acceleration and the car hit the base of the pole causing minor damage to my rear bumper. since i felt the impact, i was very cautious and put the car in drive mode to exit the parking lot with very little gas applied, but the car took off suddenly and hit a parked car with a huge impact. it almost totaled the other car and my car was very badly damaged. initial estimate to repair is around $7,911 by the bmw authorized body shop. i immediately took the car to the dealer next day asking them to check if my car was safe to drive. the dealership said the car has to be inspected by the bmw engineer, and tne dealer can't touch the car because of sudden acceleration issue. i called the bmw customer relationship dept. right away, and they scheduled an engineer to come and look at my car. one week later, a bwm engineer came to the body shop and downloaded the data, and today i was notified by bmw that the car is safe to drive. i bought this car from a local bmw dealer as certified pre-owned vehicle last year with about 23k miles on it and still has the warranty.i am writing to you because my family doesn't feel comfortable and safe to drive this car. i have seen several complaints on bimmerfest and one on your site for the 2011 bmw 328i, regarding the sudden acceleration. i asked them bmw to replace the car, which they wouldn't do. i requested bmw to send a letter stating that the car is safe to drive along with a report about their findings, since they didn't want to replace my car. not sure if they will send me one.as a good citizen with good driving record, i am really scared about driving this car which in my opinion is not safe. i am hoping that your department will investigate this matter carefully, and get a better resolution to my issue. thank you.
