Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: For about a 1.5 months, i have been having major issues with smg. in the morning on startup. i put the car in reverse, it shows (r). i step on the gas and it revs and doesn't do anything. you then hear a loud clunk and it pops back to neutral. same thing with drive in which there is a huge delay even when it shows 1. extremely scary when you have traffic coming up behind you and you can't get into gear. i have opened dialogues with bmwna, my local dealer, the gm of my local dealer donna tafoya and at this moment, the only error they got was a szl failure. (replaced 2x already) other than that, no faults whatsoever so to them, it's a "ghost" issue. puma case has also been created and the field rep will be out here on the 15th. in the meantime, i still do not have a car i can trust and this is my daily driver. *nm
