At random the car will display “Drivetrain Malfunction” which causes the car to shift into neutral and begins to slow down until it doesn’t move anymore. There is no check engine light or any other indicator of what might be the problem. The message just pops out of no where. It’s happen in the freeway making me scare to cause an accident because it so random. I’ve had to quickly turn my hazards and beginning switching lanes to avoid any accidents.

2015 bmw 328. Consumer writes in regards to power train safety recall.*ld the consumer stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time completing the recall repair. The consumer referenced recall 20v185000. The consumer requested to be reimbursed the car payments for the months the vehicle was not in use.
While attempting to pass at approx 50 MPH on a two lane mountain highway, the car suddenly lost power, warning lights and buzzer sounded. The message on screen reported 'drivetrain malfunction, drive moderately'. The car continued to operate, vibrating badly whenever I gave it gas. We limped home, shut it off. Two hours later I restarted it and all the error warnings disappeared and the car is running normally again.
