Consumer Description
2001 BMW 5301 WITH 105K MILES WON'T GO INTO REVERSE. CAR WILL MOVE IN REVERSE AT IDLE ON A FLAT SURFACE BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I'VE NOTICED 100'S OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND THAT GM (TRANS MFG) HAS RECALLED SIMILAR ISSUES ON GM VEHICLES BUT BMW WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL ITSELF. WE NEED THE HELP OF NHTSA TO REQUIRE BMW TO RECALL THIS DANGEROUS AND FAULT TRANSMISSION PART. *LN
