Consumer Description

THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE REVERSE ON THESE VEHICLES. WE THOUGHT WE HAD A UNIQUE PROBLEM BUT IT IS A OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I FOUND 359 COMPLAINTS ON OUR YR/MAKE/MODEL ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE. ALSO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON A WEBSITE CALLED NO REVERSE.ORG. OUR BMW WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I HAVE LEARNED TO PARK ON AN INCLINE SO I CAN ROLL BACKWARDS OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. BMW NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. THEY ARE LOOSING FAITHFUL CUSTOMERS BY NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. IF THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT. BMW REPS AT CUSTOMER SERVICE DECLINE TO HELP SO FAR. *KB
