We were driving at about 45 miles per hour (not using adaptive cruise control) and the emergency braking system suddenly kicked in, slamming on the brakes even though there was nobody in front of us slowing down and there was no hazard. It created a dangerous situation as the car in back of us could have rear-ended us.

2024 BMW M440I
  • Date of Incident: Apr-01, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-13, 2024
  • Failed components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

I am complaining about my new $ 79,000 bmw 440i that i just took possession of. I found out that the speedometer doesn't really tell you how fast you are driving. In sd the max speed on our interstate is 80mph. However, in my new car when the speedometer says you are going 80mph you are really only going 76mph. I consider that a serious safety issue since you never really know how fast you are going in any given situation. I also own an audi s4 and when it says you are going 80mph, you really are going 80mph. Also, all my american cars give you the real speed at which you are driving. I can't believe our automobile safety laws permit this. Joe edelen vermillion sd
