In another complaint, a driver reported that he parked his 2006 750 model BMW on Feb. 21, 2007, and it was supposed to automatically shift to park when he touched the stop-start button to turn off the car. Instead, after the driver left the car, it rolled backward about 100 feet and crashed into a lamppost, the driver told NHTSA. No one was injured. He did not set the parking brake. "The dealer stated they are unable to diagnose the failure," the man told NHTSA. Federal safety regulators do not release the names of people who file complaints. NHTSA said it upgraded the investigation to an engineering analysis "to further assess the potential safety consequences of the alleged defect."
