-The automatic emergency braking system and the forward collision warning system did not work. -The car is at the dealership where an SPI is being conducted. -While there was no serious injury, had a pedestrian been in front of me they would have been killed. -The manufacturer was notified the day of the accident. Within two days I received a call back from a case manager who said that BMW was taking my concerns very seriously. Two days after the first call, BMW called me and said they wanted to conduct an SPI on my vehicle. -My insurance company is aware that BMW has been contacted. -The car should have stopped itself. A red warning light should have gone off. It did not.

The car shut off unexpectedly while driving down a main road. There was first a power train warning, suggesting taking the car to the dealer and to drive cautiously. Then the car suddenly had an emergency power failure and the car shut completely off. Luckily I was able to coast into a subdivision. If I had been on a major highway this could have been deadly. The care then become inoperable and could not be turned on or even put in neutral. My car was dead in the middle of the road.
