Narrative

I started my vehicle with my foot on the brake. I put the car in reverse, with my foot on the brake. The car went backwards and hit a parked car. It was 1 car length behind me. I didn't take my foot off the brake and I pushed it harder. The car kept going backwards and I couldn't stop it. I didn't press on the gas pedal. BMW lied and said my after market fitted floor mat was the cause. My floor mat can't lay on the pedal, if I tried toplace it there. BMW had my vehicle for 3 months and I haven't driven it since 12/26/24. My car was purchased in 05/23 and I've had 4 issues. My car shut down on me on 11/23/23. I took it to BMW and they had it for a week. They said it was some type of switch they replaced. I ask them to buy it back from me and they have been giving me the run around.
