THE CAR TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. IF YOU TRY TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE OR FORWARD GEAR NOTHING HAPPENS. THE GEAR GOES TO NEUTRAL AND DOES NOT LET PARKING GEAR OR ANY OTHER GEAR ANGAGE. IF GEAR STAYS IN DRIVE MOD AND WHEN YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT TO DO GEAR SUDDENLY ENGAGES ITSELF AND CAR SHOOTS ITSELF IF BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT PRESSED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO NOTIFIED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSESS THE PROBLEM FOR A WEEK BECAUSE OF BUSY SCHEDULE. THE CAR IS IN NON DEALER SHOP CURRENTLY. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE CAR LOST POWER GO FROM DURING 60MPH TO 20 MPH AND I WAS ON THE GAS, THE VEHICLE STALL OUT AND WOULD TAKE 3-10 SECONDS TO RE-GAIN ANY POWER BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. ALSO ONCE COMING UP TO A STOPLIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WOULD FEEL AS IF SOMEONE HAD SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF ME POSSIBLY JERKING INTO GEAR. SPENT COUNTLESS TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THEM GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND, REPLACING RANDOM PARTS BEFORE REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND STILL THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES. NOW THE CAR IS MISFIRING AND WILL NOT START AT ALL. BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 2 MONTHS AND STILL NOT WORKING. *TR

I JUST CLOSED THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT LATCH! I HAVE SOFT CLOSE DOORS AND IT WOULD NOT WORK. IT WILL NOT LATCH WITH THE KEY AND IT WON'T WORK WITH THE INSIDE LOCK BUTTON? I HAD TO TIE THE DOOR SHUT TO GET HOME! I SEE THAT THIS IS A RECALL FOR SOME VEHICLES BUT NOT MINE? THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND VERY FRUSTRATING! I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER MODELS LIKE MINE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY BMW ACROSS THE BOARD! *TR

AIR BAG OCCUPANCY SENSOR MAT FAULT ILLUMINATED UPON INITIAL START OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY MAT. HOWEVER, THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT COVER IT EVEN THOUGH ITS A 2007 BECAUSE THE BUILD DATE WAS FEB 2007 AND THE RECALL COVERS BUILD DATES OF 2005 TO SEPT. 2006. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BRAKE PEDDLE APPEAR TO RESIST DEPRESSION, AND BRAKING BECOMES DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE. THE RESISTANCE FEELS LIKE A CONTROL SYSTEM RESISTING, AND PREVENTING THE PEDDLE FROM BEING DEPRESSED. BUT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A FAILURE OF POWER ASSIST, BUT IT FEELS LIKE A HARD, BUT SLIGHTLY SPONGY RESISTANCE, LIKE A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CLOSED A VALVE DOWN STREAM OF THE BRAKES. THE ISSUE BEGAN ABRUPTLY 5 DAYS AGO, FROM NO INDICATION AT ALL OF AN ISSUE, TO AN ABRUPT ISSUE IN FULL EFFECT. NOW IT IS CONSISTANT, AND VERY REPEATABLE. WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP FROM OVER 20 MPH, THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY DOWN TO ~10MPH. THEN BETWEEN 10 AND 7 MPH, THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PUSHING BACK, IF NOT STRONGLY RESISTING DEPRESSION. BRAKING IS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. TAKE CAUTION. *TR
