Narrative

-The automatic emergency braking system and the forward collision warning system did not work. -The car is at the dealership where an SPI is being conducted. -While there was no serious injury, had a pedestrian been in front of me they would have been killed. -The manufacturer was notified the day of the accident. Within two days I received a call back from a case manager who said that BMW was taking my concerns very seriously. Two days after the first call, BMW called me and said they wanted to conduct an SPI on my vehicle. -My insurance company is aware that BMW has been contacted. -The car should have stopped itself. A red warning light should have gone off. It did not.
