Consumer Description

LIKE THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE, MY 2000 BMW 323I WIT 71K MILES FAILED TO GO INTO REVERSE. I WAS AT CHURCH AND PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS - EVER. THE CAR WAS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. I DECIDED TO CHECK THE WEB AND WAS ASTOUNDED THAT THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF BMW 2000 323I OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED BMW OF AMERICA VIA EMAIL AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME RESPONSE AS THE OTHER OWNERS OF "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR." MANY OWNERS HAD LESS THAN 50,000 AND BMW IS NOT OWNING UP TO THE PROBLEM. BMW HAD NOT AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT INTERESTINGLY THEY ARE NO LONGER USING THESE TRANSMISSIONS. A CLASS ACTION IS BEING DISCUSSED AND RIGHTLY SO. THIS IS A RIP OFF OF THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS AND DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN SEE SOMEONE NOT BEING ABLE TO BACK UP OFF OF A TRAIN TRACK, ETC. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR
