2007 BMW 750I Power Train Problems

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IT UNEXPECTEDLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE AND RESTART THE CAR. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN. I HAD TO TURN ON THE CAUTION LIGHTS AND RESTART THE CAR. AS I MADE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN AS I WAS TURNING. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT PINPOINT TO CAUSE BUT SPECULATE UNMETERED AIR AS A POTENTIAL CAUSE. READING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM I CAME ACROSS A RECALL DESCRIBING MY EXACT PROBLEM BUT FOR 2006 5 SERIES. MY CAR IS A 2007 7 SERIES. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 16V919000.

BECAUSE I WAS ONLY RETRIEVING MY MAIL FROM THE MAILBOX, I DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF OR PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON. AS I EXITED THE CAR, AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD EVEN THOUGHT THE "P" WAS LIT ON THE DASH. I IMMEDIATELY GRABBED ONTO THE DOOR AND JUMPED BACK IN THE CAR, AS IT ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND ALL THE WHILE, THE SHIFT INDICATOR WAS LIT IN THE "P" FOR PARK POSITION. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHT READS "TRANSMISSION FAULT DRIVE MODERATELY". IT APPEARS AND THEN GOES AWAY AND...
