Consumer Description

I HAVE A BMW 750LI SEDAN. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR INTERMITTENTLY BUT APPROXIMATELY 1 TIME PER MONTH HAS A VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOW GEAR. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE JUST BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET A NECK INJURY FROM THIS "VIOLENT" SLAMMING. IT HAPPENS TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR AS I HAVE READ ABOUT IT ON MANY FORUMS. BMW WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IF YOU CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS GOING UP A STEEP HILL AND YOU TAKE YOU FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN START TO ACCELERATE. IT IS UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. *TR
