What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 BMW 428I. While driving over 70 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning in the middle lane. While the vehicle was coasting to the side of road, it drastically decelerated and lost power, which made it extremely difficult to maneuver. As a result, the contact crashed into a ditch. The air bags deployed on the driver's side. The driver experienced whiplash, cuts, and bruises to the arms, which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence.
My car was stationary, and with engine turned off in jack in the box parking lot when my cars engine bursted into flames.
