What 8 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 BMW 8 Series Convertible

ON OR ABOUT DEC. 3, WHILE DRIVING THROUGH JAMESTOWN, NC , NO VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY AND WITH MY WIFE'S FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. ONLY TIME IT HAPPENED. ON JAN. 14, 2021, WHILE PARKING THE AUTO AND WITH MY WIFE'S FOOT COVERING THE BRAKE PEDDLE, THE CAR SUDDENDLY ACCERATED INTO A BUILDING. AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND WITH HER FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR NEVER SHUT OFF. IT JUST KEPT ACCELERATING INTO BUILDING. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE. BMW SENT A CORPORATE TECH TO EVALUATE. WITH NO LETTERS OR E-MAIL, WE RECEIVED A CALL STATING IT WAS MY WIFE'S FAULT. THREE SAFETY PROBLEMS IS NOT MY WIFE'S FAULT.

EVER SINCE I GOT THE MOTORCYCLE DECEMBER OF 2019 I'VE BEEN HEARING THIS SOUND AT THE BACK WHILE I'M RIDING AND I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP THAT I'VE BEEN GOING TO UNFORTUNATELY THEY CAN'T FIND IF WHAT'S THE ISSUE. I REACHED OUT TO THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. AND THE NOISE IS BEEN GOING LOUD NOW, I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER RIDERS WHEN I HIT ANY SMALL POTHOLES EVEN AT AROUND 30-40MPH THE BIKE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO FALL APART.
