| 08/25/2005 | 98790 | 2 | 06/12/1997 |
| On several occasions while driving during wet conditions, the automatic transmission would suddenly shift from drive to s without any operator intervention. when this occurred the car abruptly slowed to about 25 mph and would not accelerate beyond that speed. i wish to emphasize that this sudden and unexpected change in gear selection would take place without any operator intervention which resulted in a potentially dangerous situation. i had the vehicle repaired at vista bmw in coconut creek, fl on 9/07/05 and was told there was a short in the gear selector switch and the defective part was replaced at a cost of $583.25. *jb | |||
