Subject: Complaint Regarding Transmission Malfunction and Potential Safety Hazard To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a recurring issue with the transmission system of my vehicle. The vehicle has been displaying a transmission error code related to the shift pedal; however, no corresponding error message appears on the dashboard. This lack of clear diagnostic messaging significantly complicates the identification and resolution of the issue. The situation escalates in severity as the transmission malfunction light intermittently illuminates while driving. This behavior is alarming, as it poses a serious safety risk. The malfunction light often appears during traffic, raising concerns about the potential for stalling while the vehicle is in motion. Such an occurrence could lead to hazardous conditions for both the driver and surrounding traffic. I strongly urge the appropriate department to address this matter immediately. Given the critical nature of the transmission system, any malfunctions must be treated as safety-related defects. Please prioritize the investigation and resolution of this issue to ensure driver safety and vehicle reliability. I expect a prompt response outlining the steps being taken to rectify this situation and prevent further risks.

After parking the car for extended time (>7hours), hot weather, starting the car and put in reverse, back out slowly the engine stalls, transmission flips by itself to neutral (n) and a message on screen stating that transmission is not in park, ...., this happened 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Happening earlier but was only shaking when reversing and engine stays on. Now got worse and engine stalls. Took to bmw dealers (two of them) both claimed they couldn't recreate the issue but saw it before and no solution from bmw but to wait 15 seconds after starting the car to put in reverse.
