Consumer Description

PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL AND NO REVERSE. NO INDICATIONS ANYTHING WRONG PUT INTO REVERSE ACTS LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL. ABSOLUTELY NO REVERSE. DROVE HOME AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO TRANSMISSION SHOP. WENT ONLINE AND SHOCKED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF NO REVERSE FAILURE ONLINE. THE NO REVERSE ORG IN 2009 IS NO LONGER UP BUT SHOCKED HOW MANY PEOPLE POSTED THE EXACT PROBLEM! BMW NORTH AMERICA OR CORPORATE SAYS THEY CAN'T DO A RECALL AND TO NOTIFY NHTSA. ETHICALLY, WE BOTH KNOW THEY SHOULD FIX THESE FAULTY DRUMS THEY OUTSOURCED TO GM AND DID NOT TELL ANYONE. PLEASE RECALL THE NO REVERSE FAILURE FOR THE 2000 MODEL, THANKS FOR RECALLING THE SUB-FRAME CRACKING. BMW SERVICE CENTERS ARE A RIP OFF AND NEVER TELL THE OWNER WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON. I AM AN ORIGINAL OWNER, HAVE METICULOUS SERVICE RECORDS AND FEEL THE US NEEDS TO MAKE THEM STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. PLEASE HELP US. GETTING STUCK IN A DANGEROUS PARKING LOT AT NIGHT WOULD NOT BE SAFE? PLEASE ASK BMW TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DRUM. *TR
