Consumer Description

SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, NEW, THE REVERSE GEAR FAILS IN MY 1999 BMW 323I. IN ADDITION, THE CAR SEEMS TO, INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, RAPIDLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES, I HAVE TO APPLY ALL THE PRESSURE I CAN TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND EVEN WITH THAT I CAN FEEL THE ACCELERATION FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT STOPS. AS FOR THE REVERSE GEAR FAILURE, I HAVE TO SHIFT TO EACH GEAR ONCE OR TWICE BEFORE I CAN GET THE CAR INTO REVERSE, AND/OR I JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND WAIT FOR A WHILE BEFORE TRYING AGAIN, AND/OR I HAVE TO SHIFT TO AND FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN A PARKING LOT, STREET, ETC., HOLDING UP DRIVERS BEHIND ME. IN 11 YEARS, NO MECHANIC HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THE CAR HAS THESE ISSUES, AND MOST MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THUS, NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND THE ISSUES REMAIN. *TR
