I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2000 BMW 528I THROUGH THE OVERSEA MILITARY SALES PROGR AM IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA. THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED TO U.S. SPECIFICATION AND I INTEND TO TAKE THIS CAR TO THE U.S. ON FEB 24, 2001, AT THE SHINDONG-A SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT IN YONGSAN-KU, MY HUSBAND CHONG S. PARK WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN HE WAS PARKING THE CAR. WHILE PROCEEDING BACKWARD AT MINIMUM SPEED, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH EXPLODING NOISE AND HIT THE WA OF THE BUILDING, CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO BOTH MY CAR AND THE PROPERTY.*AK
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE BRAKE LAMPS IN THESE VEHICLES ARE CONTROLLED BY A SWITCH ACTIVATED BY THE MOVEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS SWITCH COULD FAIL INTERNALLY, CAUSING IT TO REMAIN EITHER IN THE "BRAKE LAMPS OFF" POSITION OR IN THE "BRAKE LAMPS ON" POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS HAPPENS, THE BRAKE LAMPS EITHER WILL NOT OPERATE OR WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED, REGARDLESS OF BRAKE PEDAL POSITION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE EXISTING BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WITH AN IMPROVED SWITCH.
