Consumer Description
While driving the BMW X540I on the highway, went to change lanes for an obstacle/debris on the vehicle shut the power of the engine for some seconds and I almost got on a crash due to the vehicle not accelerating. Then the vehicle display a message on the screen “drivetrain malfunction- possible to drive moderately” I pull over on the next exit and shut the vehicle off at the gas station. Once I turn on the vehicle the message was gone but I’m planning yo have the vehicle check by the dealer. This is not safe for anyone, vehicles with this problem could cause a tragic accident. Please investigate if there are other vehicles with this problem.
