Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 BMW 330 CI WITH 116K MILES. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT INDICATED THAT SOMETHING COULD BE WRONG WITH THE CAR. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $4000. I WENT TO THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY CONSUMERS REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW BMW IS ADDRESSING THIS COMMON ISSUE AND IDENTIFY IF THERE ARE ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. *TR
