2014 BMW X1 SAV Complaints

THIS CAR WAS PARKED IN MY SUNNY DRIVEWAY, AMBIENT TEMP ~85 DEGREES F. SEVERAL HOURS LATER, I RETURNED TO DRIVE IT AND FOUND THE REAR GLASS OVER THE HATCH TRUNK LID BROKEN INTO THOUSANDS OF EQUAL PARTS, BUT ALL IN PLACE WITH NO INDENTATION OR EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING HAVING IMPACTED THE GLASS, SUCH AS A LIMB, ROCK, BASEBALL, ETC. WHEN I TOUCHED THE GLASS, IT CRUMBLED INTO THE STORAGE AREA AND ON THE PAVEMENT. THE AUTOGLASS REPAIR PLACE I TOOK IT TO OPINED THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED IN VARIOUS VEHICLES AS A RESULT OF HEAT BUILDING UP INSIDE. IF SO, THIS IS A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN DEFECT

DRIVING FROM A PARKING SLOT AT CARL'S JR., MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH A LOUD ENGINE ROAR, TO APPROXIMATELY 80-90 MPH, JUMPED OVER A CURB OVER AN ISLAND, RUN THROUGH THREE PARKING SLOTS, HIT ANOTHER CURB AND HIT A PALM TREE-WHICH FINALLY STOPPED MY CAR- AT A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 50-60 FEET FROM MY PARKED POSITION. I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKES FOR THE WHOLE 5-6 SECONDS UNTIL MY CAR HIT THE PALM TREE. THE BRAKE JUST DID NOT WORK. MISTAKENLY STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, IS OUT OF THE QUESTION--WITH ALL THE JARRING AND SWAYING--ANY IDIOT WILL STEP ON THE BRAKE, WHICH I DID. MY WIFE IS HOSPITALIZED WITH A FRACTURED SPINE AND I SUFFER RECURRENT HEADACHES. BMW AND ALLSTATE PROMISED TO INVESTIGATE BUT NO EARLIER THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT! *TR
