Consumer Description

MY 1999 BMW 323I WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT ENGAGE IN REVERSE. THIS HAPPENED INITIALLY WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AROUND FOR AWHILE, LOW AND BEHOLD, REVERSE WOULD ENGAGE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE SHIFT PLATE WAS NOT ALIGNED AND THE CAR WAS THINKING IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. AFTER HAVING THAT REPLACED AT $700, THE NEXT DAY, SAME PROBLEM. THEN THE DEALER SAID THAT IT HAS TO BE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT $2000, LOW AND BEHOLD, 2 DAYS LATER, THE SAME EXACT THING STARTING HAPPENING. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WELL MAINTAINED WITH 132,000. ALL OF THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN ON 10/22/2009. BMW NEEDS TO RECALL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL OWNERS. *TR
