Consumer Description

THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE. WENT TO LEAVE A FRIENDS HOUSE AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. HAD TO BE PUSHED BACKWARDS, PUT INTO DRIVE AND FORWARD GEARS WORKED FINE. DROVE ABOUT 11 MILES, STOPPED AND PUT IT IN REVERSE, AND IT WORKED. COUPLE DAYS LATER I WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND REVERSE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THE REVERSE WORKS ON AND OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE A TRAFFIC SITUATION COULD ARISE WHERE REVERSE IS NEEDED TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS, YET BMW HAS FAILED ISSUE A RECALL. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS. *TR
