Consumer Description

FAULTY SMG PUMP POSSIBLY CAUSED BY A CULMINATION OF OTHER FAILING PARTS IN SMG SYSTEM. CAR IS RENDERED INOPERABLE IN POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS DRIVING SITUATIONS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE CIRCUMVENTED BY A SYSTEM MORE CAPABLE OF WARNING THE OWNER OF AN IMPENDING FAILURE. THE REMEDY THE MAJORITY OF DEALERSHIPS ARE USING ARE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE SMG SYSTEM, WHICH COSTS UP TO $7,000.00. AS HIDEOUS AS THIS SOUNDS, THERE MORE THAN LIKELY IS A VERY SMALL FACTOR OR PART THAT IS CAUSING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO FAIL. BMW NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY. *TR
