Consumer Description

I LOST DRIVE FUCTIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 BMW 328D XDRIVE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AS IF I HIT SOMETHING. MY DISPLAY SHOWED DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION AND PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. I NARROWLY MISSED GETTING T-BONED BY ON-COMING TRAFFIC. I MANAGED TO LET IT ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMEDIATELY AFTER THE TURN. I COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THE MAIN CAUSE WAS THE TRANSFER CASE. THE REAR DRIVE LINE LOST IT FUCTION TURNING THE CAR FROM AWD TO FWD AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND ISSUE THAT BMW MUST ADDRESS. I NARROWLY ESCAPED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IF THE ONCOMING CARS DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR IF I TOOK THE TURN 1 SECOND LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE
