| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 8/707 i noticed that i could not shift my 2000 bmw323ci into reverse. no prior notice and no engine or check lights came on. it's like being in neutral. the engine revs but there is no movement. in another instance i was on a hill and tried to back up. when i switched into reverse, the car rolled forward!! the problem persists as of today 8/13/07. a quick search of the internet reveals that this problem is widespread (see attached links). bmw recalled the 5 and 7 series for this reason but did not recall the 3 series (perhaps because too many 3 series were sold compared to the 5 and 7 series??). bmw really needs to address this problem before someone is seriously hurt. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/bmw_trans.html http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/01/bmw_transmission.html http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=7on_your_side&id=4407296 http://www.motortrend.com/cars/1999/bmw/5_series/recalls/ http://www.internetautoguide.com/auto-recalls/09-int/1999/bmw/7-series/index.html *tr |
