NHTSA Complaint #10346545 — 2000 BMW 323I

I HAVE A 2000 BMW 323I. ON FEBRUARY 2010, ONE MORNING I WORK UP TO GO TO WORK. I TRIED TO BACK MY CAR PUT FROM MY DRIVE WAY BUT MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO REVERSE. THE CAR JUST STAYED LIKE IF IT WAS ON NEUTRAL. I GAVE IT SOME GAS AND ALL I HEAD WAS JUST THE ENGINE REVVING, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE. MY DAD LATER LOOKED IN TO IT AND FOUND OUT THAT WHEN THE CAR DROVE FORWARD IT HAD NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER. IT WAS ONLY WHEN THE CAR REVERSED. I LOOKED IN TO REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE AND EVERY WHERE I GO I GET QUOTED IN THE RANGE OF 4000-6000 FOR A NEW TRANSITION. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR THIS ISSUES. SPECIALLY AFTER I FOUND OUT THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER BMW OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE AT ALL. I RARELY TRY TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT IN MANY OCCASIONS I HAVE NO CHOICE. IN ONE OCCASION WHERE I WAS ON A DOWN HILL STREET I WAS STUCK BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO HELP ME. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT OTHER TESTIMONIES FROM OTHER BMW DRIVERS ON THE WEBSITE OF NOREVERSE.ORG I HOPE THAT YOU REALLY LOOK IN TO THIS ISSUE. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT BMW HAS NOT TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. *TR
