2007 4.8 X5 Lunging Problems

[jharms]

Since our 4.8 X5 was new, we had the problem where you gently push down on the accelerator and car lunges or accelerates too quickly. We've had it into the dealer numerous time with no results. They've put at least two new firmware or software updates in but we still have the problem. I seemed to have read threads about it on this forum before but my searches have come up empty this time.

Has anyone figured out how to get this problem fixed? Maybe I'm using the wrong words or description when we take it in to the dealer.

I feel like this is a safety issue. If it lunged forward when the car in front puts on the brakes it would be a certain accident. Would something like this be a candidate for the "Lemon Law" (if it even still exists)?

I'm at my wits end. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!
