Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	X3
Model Year	2017
File date	12/09/18
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Three incidents of uncontrolled acceleration of engine, two while parking on city streets (april 30 and sept 12) and one when stopping at red light on city street (aug 1). Car was in drive and started revving unexpectedly and immediately went to over 7,000 rpm. I shifted to neutral and maintained brake. Revving stopped and returned to normal idling when i lifted foot from brake. Car was taken to bmw service for one parking incident and the incident while stopping at red light. Bmw mechanics were unable to find anything wrong with vehicle. For latest incident have contacted bmw north america and they will send an engineer from headquarters to check vehicle. Fortunately, no collision or accident occurred. However, i believe some drivers would have a problem dealing with sudden uncontrolled revving and indeed i am concerned about a repetition, especially in city or highway traffic.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
