Consumer Description

IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3-POINT TURN, VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND THE REVERSE GEAR FAILED. GIVEN THAT MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER OPERATE IN REVERSE, I WAS TRAPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. OF COURSE, I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM THE ROADWAY. THIS IS A COMMON AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE REGARDING REVERSE GEAR FAILURE. BMW IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS TRANSMISSION IS PRODUCED BY GM, AND IS INSTALLED IN CADILLAC CARS AS WELL (FOR WHICH A RECALL WAS ISSUED). NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY BMW. *TR
