2006 BMW 3 Series Speed Control & Cruise Problems

The vehicle accelerates to 5,000 RPM randomly, and unintentionally. This happens when shifting gears(manual transmission), or when in any gear. Braking barely slows the vehicle down. I've nearly crashed due to this issue, multiple times. The floormats are not in the way. This is a case of sudden unintended acceleration.

THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH MY CAR INCLUDE: HIGH RPMS WHEN ACCELERATING, MASSIVE GAS CONSUMPTION WHICH I CAN PROVIDE BANK STATEMENTS TO PROVE, MASSIVE COOLANT CONSUMPTION, NUMEROUS OIL LEAKS, ROUGH IDLING, ENGINE RATTLING, FOUL SMELL OF VAPORS IN THE CAR WHILE RUNNING, AND CONSTANT CAR SHAKING. MY CAR WILL CUT OFF COMPLETELY IF THE A/C IS TURNED ON OR IF SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, SO IN RETURN I WOULD HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK WHILE SITTING AT RED LIGHTS. ALL OF THIS IS DUE TO THE PCV VALVE. THIS RECALL WAS NOT MADE AWARE TO ME IF THOUGH I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THIS IS WHY I ASKED FOR GOODWILL ASSISTANCE FROM BMW. ONCE MY CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO FIX THE RECALL BMW TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT HELP FINANCIALLY WITH THE REPAIRS OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT OF THE YEAR AND MILEAGE. CORPORATE TOLD ME THIS AFTER I HAD TO CHASE THEM DOWN ALL DAY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY NEEDED A ANSWER BY 12PM AND NEEDED THE LOANER VEHICLE BACK. ONCE I RECEIVED THE ANSWER OF NO I ASKED CODY CAMPBELL IF THE RECALL WAS FIXED . HE REPLIED SAYING YES. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO THEN BE SENT BACK HOME BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY WERE SEALING SOME OF THE LEAKS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. I FOUND THIS ODD BECAUSE IF YOU LOOKED ONLINE AND STILL LOOK NOW AS OF 10:09PM ON 10/05/2019 THE RECALL STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

WHILE IN DRIVE AT AN IDLE, VEHICLE WILL TRY TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. RPMS GOT HIGH AND WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WAS STILL PUSHING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. PUT THE CAR IN TO NEUTRAL AND TAPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. RPMS DROPPED BACK DOWN AND CAR IDLED NORMALLY.

I WAS DRIVING FROM SCHOOL AND PUSH THE GAS AND 15MPH THE CAR JERKED IN TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WENT INTO SAFE MODE. I COULD NOT DRIVE OVER 40 MP. THE DEALER SHIP SAID THE TRANSMISSION MECHATRONIC MAY HAVE MALFUNCTION. SOMETHING INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION THE MANUFACTURER BUILD IT WITH A PLASTIC VALVE COVER IT'S COMMON ON BMW THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE ARE OVER 67,000 COMPLAINTS ON LINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHERE IS THE RECALL!. YOU PAY FOR THIS EXPENSIVE CAR TO PAY 7000 TO FIX. I AM LOOKING TO START A LAW SUIT IF THEY DON'T RECALL AND FIX THIS COMMON EXPENSIVE PROBLEM!

MY SON TURNED RIGHT FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. HE ACCELERATED TO THE APPROPRIATE SPEED PRIOR TO THE UPCOMING TURN (25MPH) HE THEN LET OFF THE GAS GOING INTO THE TURN TO COAST BEFORE BRAKING. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UP TO 40-45 MPH DUE TO FLOOR MAT ENTRAPMENT BECAUSE THERE IS NO FLOOR MAT RETENTION SYSTEM. HE WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR AS HE TRIED TO MOVE THE FLOOR MAT AWAY FROM THE GAS PEDAL. HE THEN SLID OFF THE ROAD WHILE CONTINUING TO BRAKE, OVERCORRECTED AND WENT OFF THE OTHER SIDE AS WELL. ALL THE WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

2006 BMW 328I REPEATEDLY HESITATES WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED. THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON 5 DIFFERENT INSTANCES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. TO DATE BMW CLAIMS IN "CANNOT REPLICATE CUSTOMERS PROBLEM". IN ONE INSTANCE VEHICLE ACTUALLY STALLED WHEN AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. APPEARS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AS IT WAS ADDRESSED IN A CAR AND DRIVER TEST DRIVE ARTICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 325I. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS (12/25/2007 AND 02/22/2008), WHILE DECELERATING TO 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DID NOT REPORT THE FIRST FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER THE SECOND TIME. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,500.

WHILE DRIVING ON A SMALL STREET, CAR LOST ACCELERATION, AND WOULD MOVE ONLY SLOWLY EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY. THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE ONTO AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY BECAUSE OF LACK OF POWER, THUS CAUSING THE CAR TO ROLL BACK AND HIT A ROW OF MAILBOXES. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE DAMAGE TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY. BMW ONLY OFFERED EXPLANATION OF "SENSOR" FAILURE AND WOULD NOT EXPLAIN MORE, FOR FEAR OF COMPLAINTS. *JB
