NHTSA Complaint #11045572 — 2011 BMW 750LIX

THE 2011 BMW 750LI XDRIVE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION INDICATOR CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WHEN DRIVING AROUND 80MPH, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 60MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70MPH. IF I WENT FASTER THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD FLASH UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN. THE CAR DRINKS OIL LIKE CRAZY AND THE FULL SYNTHETIC OIL IS NOT CHEAP. W#HEN I PULLED OVER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AFTER 10 MINUTES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE CAR WAS SHUDDERING WHEN I PULLED BACK ONTO THE INTERSTATE SLOWLY. THE CAR'S TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND STABILIZATION LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I ACCELERATED THERE WAS NO POWER SO I HAD TO PULL OFF ON SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN. I FINALLY GO ON THE ROAD AND DROVE 60 MPH UNTIL I REACHED HOME. THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED ALL NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING THE SAME THING. MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE TO THE BMW OF STERLING, VA.
