TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BMW 128I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS SHE WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED FILM COVERING THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE CAR INTERIOR RELEASING AIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000. UPDATED 07/06/12*LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE FILM WAS VERY THICK AND HARD TO WIPE OFF. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE AIR CONDITION, AND THE COIL. THE CONSUMER STATED EACH TIME SHE PICKED THE VEHICLE UP, SHE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, ONLY FOR IT TO RETURN AGAIN. BMW INFORMED THE CONSUMER THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AS THE PROBLEM WAS A BI-PRODUCT OF THE INTERIOR BREATHING.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PULLING IN PARKING LOT TO PARK GOING AT A VERY LOW SPEED I HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT HOLD INSTEAD THE CAR ACCELERATED AND JUMPED ON TO A SIDEWALK AND THEN INTO A BRICK WALL. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT TOOK OFF BACKWARDS FOR A FEW FEET UNTIL THE BRAKES FINALLY CAUGHT THE CAR THEN CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I HIT THE BRICK WALL WITH THE FRONT END OF MY CAR CAUSING LOTS OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND THE BUILDING THE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THE POLICEMAN THAT WORKED THE WRECK SAID THE TIRE MARKS WHERE THE CAR TOOK OFF WERE ACCELERATION MARKS NOT BRAKE MARKS, BUT THE ONES WHERE IT FINALLY STOPPED WERE BRAKE MARKS. *TR
