## 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.
