Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR APPROACHING A STOP, THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND ON THE DASH INDICATED THE GEAR IS NOW "N", THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT TURN TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR, TURNING IT BACK ON, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. IF THIS FAULT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY, IT CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT IF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND GEAR SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL. FROM READING BMW FORUMS, THEY SAY POSSIBLE CAUSES COULD BE THE INTEGRATED SUPPLY MODULE, TRANSMISSION FAULT, ELECTRICAL ISSUE, OR THE SMG SENSOR. PLEASE READ SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE.
