While slowly entering my garage from driveway, car accelerated and lunged forward. I applied brakes as hard as possible, but could not stop car. Crashed into refrigerator at back of garage. Subsequently, took vehicle to BMW dealer service department. The report from service department said, "could not reproduce fault. Car is operating property. No faults are stored in the system, and the system safeguards are functioning properly."

While driving in traffic on surface street, car in front slowed to a stop. I was unable to stop my car because when I applied the brakes the car accelerated until impact with the car in front.
