We have classified the 1 complaints from 2014 BMW i3 about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL into the following categories.
I turned right into a parking spot in front of a commercial buidling. i remember slowing down as i approached the parking space. as the car slowed, it suddenly jerked and then accelerated causing it to go over the concrete parking header and collide into building exterior and metal gate. the car was in slow speed as i entered the space. the sudden unexpected acceleration caught me by surprised as i could see my foot was not on the accelerator pedal. by the time i could apply the breaks, the car had already hit the building which cause the car to stop moving. the distance traveled was approximately 12-15 feet.
Near crash (crash avoided by manual emergency braking intervention) the adaptive cruise control was following a black suv at 8:30am southbound on ca101 (vehicle present indicator illuminated). the adaptive cruise control failed so notice that the vehicle was slowing down. the adaptive cruise control kept pace and would have collided into the vehicle if i had not taken over. only about two yards from the vehicle, the system noticed the suv had slowed down, but this was after i already hit the brakes. conditions were good. no adverse conditions. well illuminated, no glare.. *tr
