On 2023 BMW i7 while I was trying to park in a parking stall moving forwards at a very low speed in a shopping center( less than a 1 m/h) . The car suddenly and very aggressively took off and accelerate on me while I was straightening the steering wheel to pull more forwards, heading another parked car in front it, head to head and pushed/ slid the parked car about 20 feet. I have no idea if any button was pushed or activated with my palm while steering to park. No signs or indicator or sensor warned before accident and nothing after accident.

The car warning flashes “drivetrain fault”. Then after about 5 seconds the car put itself into neutral and started to slow down. I pulled off to the side of the highway before it stopped on its own . I was not able to start the car back up. I got it towed to the dealership . I am told that the AC compressor failure to the high voltage battery system , shut down the system . Seems very dangerous to do that while I was driving on the highway !

The front doors release button are designed and placed on the car door which can open as soon as your knee unintentionally touches the button. This poses a risk of opening the doors while the car is in motion.
