Consumer Description

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION BECAUSE OF DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT); CAR WAS IN DRIVE SLOWING TO STOP SIGN. ALMOST AT STOP CAR LURCHED 2 TO 3 FEET INTO THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I COULD SLAM ON BRAKES. IN EARLIER SPUTTER AND LURCH SITUATION WITH THE DCT, CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN TO ACCELERATE THROUGH INTERSECTION IN TRAFFIC. DRIVER PUSHED ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO SPEED UP AND IT SPUTTERED FOR COUNTS OF ONE THOUSAND, TWO THOUSAND, THREE THOUSAND. ON COUNT OF FOUR THOUSAND IT ENGAGED AND STARTED TO MOVE AHEAD AS THE DRIVER DESIRED. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO TWO BMW SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ABOUT SPUTTER AND LURCH TRANSMISSION. BOTH TEST DROVE 135I BRIEFLY AND DECLARED IT FINE. NO WORK TO BE DONE UNDER WARRANTY, THEY SAID. *TR
