I was entering the freeway as I was merging from the on-ramp onto the freeway after it had rained that day the car began to spun out of control as I was trying to regain the vehicle it'slammed into the side rail bouncing off of it and then I stepped on the brakes but the car proceeded to go forward hit the rail again which caused the damage to the front bumper, hood, fenders, lighting system, and some frame work.

Passenger brake light harness keeps melting. This is my second Bmw and both had the same problem. The car keeps having loss of power while driving on the freeway. Probably something to do with fuel pump.

I JUST BOUGHT MY BMW 2014 428I AND WHEN I RECEIVED IT IT WAS WORKING FLAWLESSLY BUT AFTER A DAY MY CAR COMPLETELY STUTTERED AT A LIGHT AND STALLED AND I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED IT CRANKED RIGHT BACK UP BUT I WAS STILL CONFUSED, BUT NOW IT'S WORSE THAN BEFORE NOW WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT JUST SHUTS OFF AND PUTS ITSELF IN NEUTRAL, SO WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN MOTION I AM FORCED TO START IT AND SHIFT IT BACK INTO DRIVE. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I WAS SCARED BUT NOW IT HAPPENS SO MUCH THAT IT HAS BECOME SECOND NATURE WHICH I FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BECOME PRONE TO THIS. I LOOKED AT THE RECALL LIST AND SAW THAT ON OTHER 428I'S THE FUEL PUMP AND BRAKE LINE IS THEIR ISSUE BUT WHEN I SEARCHED MY VIN NOTHING POPPED UP BUT AS I JUST EXPLAINED IT IS AFFECTING MY VEHICLE AS WELL.
