NHTSA Complaint #10497936 — 2008 BMW 335I

THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE,. HOWEVER, I ONLY COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL WHEN THE PROBLEM EXISTED. I WOULD CHECK WITH YOUR SERVICE ADVISER BECAUSE BMW SEEMS TO BE HIDING THIS ISSUE! THIS IS THE 1ST INCIDENT AFTER BRINGING IN MY CAR FOR SIMILAR ISSUE AND 2ND TIME HAPPENING TO MY CAR. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT ABOUT 15 MILES/HR AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD SMOOTHLY; FELT LIKE A CAR BREAKING DOWN. DRIVE ABOUT 1 BLOCK DOWN (TO THE NEXT LIGHT), THE CAR IS STILL SHAKING AND CAN'T DOESN'T MOVE. THE CAR CONTINUE TO SHAKE VICIOUSLY AS I WAS PARKED AT A RED LIGHT, SO I DECIDED TO TURN AWAY FROM MAIN STREET TO STOP. THE CAR DIDN'T REALLY MOVE, JUST GLIDED. STOPPED THE CAR COMPLETELY AND RESTARTED IT. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE CAR WAS BACK TO NORMAL. *TR
