| 2 separate issues 1st, the vehicle when in park cannot switch to drive or reverse, it will only switch to neutral. happen on countless occasions. brought the vehicle to russell bmw who told me i have to pay to replace the transmission. recall 93562 is now posted on bmw website detailing the same issue. spoke to a rep who dismissed my vehicle complaint because the vin # does not fall under the luxury package therefore not included in the recall. 2nd issue..the vehicle brakes when applied does not stop. twice it's happen when i tried to slow or stop resulting in scaring me half to death and near accidents. i also address the recall 87903 with the rep who once again told me the vin is not covered in the recall even though the year and model is included as part of the recall the question i pose is why is the vin determining the qualification of the need to have bmw responsibly fix the 1st year model of their trial and error vehicles. i paid way too much to be told that because i did not have the comfort package my vehicle is not included in their recall? is it going to take an accident for bmw to be fix the necessary problems? | |||

| When pushing on the gas, the vehicle would stall, rpm's would shoot up, and would take 3-10 seconds to re-gain any power before the vehicle would begin to accerlate. also once coming up to a stoplight or stop sign, the vehicle would feel as if someone had slammed into the back of me possibly jerking into gear. spent countless times at the dealership with them giving me the run around, replacing random parts before replacing the entire transmission and still the vehicle continues to have issues. | |||
