Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)While moving at a very slow speed parking the vehicle in my driveway, I was slowly turning to the left. The vehicle accelerated suddenly and quickly. This cost the front end to strike the deck and steps to the deck of my home. It also damaged the lower front end of the vehicle.
The brake pedal in the iX is a dangerous, flawed design. The arm of the brake pedal is at a 45 degree angle, and crosses the path of the accelerator. The result is that my foot clips behind the brake arm. Then my foot is stuck while depressing the accelerator!! It's the exact same result that caused the 2009 Toyota carpet mat recall. I have attached a photo showing the concept, but I am happy to provide further evidence or answer questions. In one photo, you can see that it is possible to entirely wedge a foot behind the brake arm while completely depressing the accelerator. It is compounded and worse with the BMW all-weather mats like you can see in the picture. They have a polygon design, but it is done with huge grooves that catch your heel sometimes and kind of hold your foot in a position. In addition, the Cruise Control button is located immediately where your hand can accidentally press it (I've done it many times). If you accidentally do, it immediately attempts to uncontrolled accelerate to highway speed. There is already a recall on this, and all BMW did was disable the cruise at very low speeds. The problem still exists in traffic! There should not be a nondiscript button that is easy to accidentally press but causes uncontrolled acceleration in a car that can reach 60mph in 4 seconds.
Car was in auto park at traffic light and it started to drive and hit the car in front. Brakes or front collision did not stop the car.
