| I have noticed that when decelerating into a stop sign or red light, the transmission at times will violently kick the car forward as if i was just rear ended. it feels like you are getting run into from behind. i have taken the car into the bmw dealership where i have been told that they could not re-create the event during their test drive. i have also taken the car to a third party authorized bmw auto repair shop where i have been told that it is a common issue for the 7 series model that i have but bmw has offered no solution to the problem. it does not happen every time i drive but it happens at the most random of times. what concerns me is that when slowing the car while applying the brake to come to a complete stop, is that i have had numerous close calls where because of the extra kick from what i believe is a transmission issue, i have come close to rear- ending other vehicles and endangering myself and my own passengers. i have tried to research this on the internet only to find that there are numerous complaints stating very similar incidents. | |||
