I believe there is a class action lawsuit for timing chains and oil pumps on BMW years 2012-2015 with N20/N26 engines. My vehicle is an exact match for this recall but it dos not show for BMW or even on your website. How do I proceed with this matter since it is something that I should not have to pay for. Can you please advise further.
The contact owns a 2014 BMW X1. The contact that while at a stop light and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle stalled. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle and was able to continue driving. The contact also stated that the vehicle needed to be restarted with the brake pedal depressed to determine if the vehicle was in drive. The contact stated that the vehicle only reversed after restarting the vehicle. The contact stated that the check engine and the bright yellow gear with an exclamation mark which meant that the power train was going into LIMP Mode warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The dealer retrieved an unstated fault code related to the battery and replaced the stick shift harness; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.
TWICE THE SHIFT GEARS SUCH AS PLACING CAR IN PARK OR DRIVE, IT FROOZE UP TWICE ONCE IN THE CARE OF THE SERVICE CENTER AT CARMAX AND 2ND TIME BACKING UP FROM MY HOUSE AND THE CAR SHIFT WOULDNT GO INTO TO DRIVE MODE , MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH CAR INTO DRIVE WAY. IT WAS IN MOTION IN REVERSE AND BACK UP ONTO THE CITY STREET AND IT WOULDNT MOVE TO DRIVE
2014 BMW X1 TRANSMISSION MOVES FROM DRIVE TO PARK WHILE IN MOTION. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AFTER OR BEFORE THE OCCURANCE. WHEN ENGAGING REVERSE OR DRIVE GEARS ON THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION WILL LOCK BRING THE CAR TO AN ABRUPT STOP. THE CAR CANNOT BE STEERED IN ANY DIRECTION TO MOVE IT OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE THE CAR GOES TO PARK POSITION, I CAN MOVE THE HANDLE TO RE ENGAGE A GEAR. THE CAR MOVES SLIGHTLY THEN TRANSMISSION FREEZES FORCING IT BACK INTO PARK. I WILL TURN THE CAR OFF AND TRY TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION REPEATEDLY AND SOMEHOW THINGS GET MOVE. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED I WENT ONLINE, AND FOUND INFORMATION ABOUT RELEASING THE TRANSMISSION. IT INVOLVES AN NUMBER OF STEPS, AND SO FAR WORKS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I BLOCKED AN INTERSECTION FOR SOMETIME BEFORE BEING ABLE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS I FOUND ONLINE...
