Narrative

Using BMW's Parking Assistant Professional feature, I recorded and saved a backup parking maneuver into my garage on 5/7/2024. The idea is that this saved maneuver can later be recalled and used as the car approaches the same location as where it was recorded. This function worked well the first 10 times or so that I used it. However, this past Sunday (5/12/2024), as I pressed on the touch screen to start this parking maneuver, the car did not perform the maneuver as it had the previous 10 times. Instead, the car went straight back and hit the wall. I have reported this glitch to BMW USA and have not received any response.
