2007 Bmw X3 Cruise Control Problems

Your BMW X3 suddenly accelerates on its own while stopped, forcing you to shift into neutral and press the gas pedal to regain control. This has happened multiple times and creates a serious safety hazard. Your mechanic found no diagnostic trouble codes when scanning the computer, making the cause difficult to pinpoint. The fix may involve inspecting the throttle body, fuel injectors, or the engine control system for mechanical or electrical issues.

The BMW SUDDENLY ACCELERATES WHEN Stopped. This has happened multiple times' and is extremely dangerous. I have to put the vehicle in neutral and hit the gas pedal to stop it from racing. No codes come up when my mechanic scans the computer.

THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT. SOMETIMES, WHEN I STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THEN START TO GO, THE CAR HESITATE TO GO. IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TEST EQUIPMENT. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE HIT BY OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF IT. SINCE THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT, I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING IT ON-LINE AND LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

MY 2007 X3 WAS INVOLVED IN A BIZARRE AND FREAKY SOLO ACCIDENT. MY HOUSE IS ON SLOPED HILL WITH A LEVEL DRIVEWAY. THE ROAD LEADING TO THE DRIVEWAY IS ABOUT 20-25 FEET BELOW THE DRIVEWAY. ON APR. 18, 2013, UPON ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, HIT CONCRETE COLUMNS (ON THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY, MEANT FOR RETAINING WALLS) 3 TIMES AND WENT AIRBORNE FROM THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET BELOW. THE CAR HIT THE STREET SURFACE ON ITS ROOF, ROLLED OVER ONCE AND CAME TO A STOP ON ITS 4 TIRES. DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER HAD SEATBELTS ON AND RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. THE REAR PASSENGER WAS EJECTED FROM THE CAR AND SUFFERED MAJOR INJURIES AND STILL REMAINS HOSPITALIZED 18 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY HAVE ASSURED ME THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE THIS ACCIDENT. AFTER DOING SEARCHES ONLINE, I AM BECOMING MORE AND MORE CONVINCED THAT THIS IS IN FACT A CAR MALFUNCTION AND NOT A DRIVER ERROR. HTTP://FORUM.ROADFLY.COM/THREADS/13163648-SUDDEN-ACCELERATION-WITH-08-X3-ANYONE-ELSE I WOULD LIKE TO ESTABLISH CONTACT WITH OTHER BMW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW X3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD ABOUT 100 FEET SUDDENLY. WHEN THE CONTACT TRIED TO CHANGE LANES AND ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF SOMEONE WERE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED A WAILING SOUND FROM THE REAR END. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. THIS OCCURS INFREQUENTLY WHEN VEHICLE IS COASTING AT A FEW MPH. *TR
