NHTSA Complaint #10794340 — 2015 BMW 320I

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BMW 320I I HAVE HAD IT FOR 45 DAYS WITH 1548 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE THIS MORNING DRIVING POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. MY CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND DROPPED DOWN TO 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO OVER ANY FASTER. DISPLAY SAYS "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" I DROVE MY CAR ON SIDE OF THE ROAD AT 20 MPH ON THE SIDE OF ROAD UNTIL I MADE IT TO WORK. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS FOR A VEHICLE TO DROP FROM 70 TO 20 MPH SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. FROM READING SEEMS TO BE A ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH BMW'S. RECALL WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION . I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED I TRADED MY MERCEDES E350 IN FOR THIS JUNK. I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANY VEHICLE THAT HAS LEFT ME IN SUCH A BAD SITUATION. I OWNED NISSAN WITH OVER 126K MILES AND IT NEVER GAVE ME ANY PROBLEMS. VERY DISAPPOINTED BMW OWNER!
