| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We bought a 2000 bmw 323i which currently only has about 66,000 miles on it. the car will shift into reverse, but will not actually move backwards. it just sits there revving. the car will drive forward, but not backwards. we were told that the transmission and the transmission thermometer needs to be replaced for a cost of $4500.00. we've done all the necessary maintenance on this vehicle. i've searched the web and found many other complaints about the same issue. i filed a complaint with bmw, but of course, they're not taking responsibility. these cars should have been recalled to replace the transmission. i was stranded at work when the car broke down. now, i'm without my car and also don't have the extra money to put towards a repair of $4500.00. for a high end car, this is unacceptable. this will most be my first and last bmw purchase. *jb |
