| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The bmw 325xit (automatic transmission) which i purchased on 2/5/2004 developed a problem with forward gear not engaging on a cold start. the vehicle had less than 1000 miles on it when i first noticed the problem. typically on a morning when i back the car out of the garage, and then shift the gears from reverse to drive, the vehicle fails to move forward for 3 to 4 seconds upon releasing the brake. i would have to press down on the gas pedal and watch the engine revv to anywhere between 3-5k rpm before the gear would engage. the vehicle creeps forward until the gear fully engages. the problem has no far been rather consistent - it happens quite predictably every morning. i have not however noticed a problem with gear engagement once the car is able to start.*ak |
