Pre-owned vehicle -transmission issue which is not mechanical...vehicle did not shift to reverse from park. Local bmw dealer says new transmission is needed. Research indicates it to be a problem with the vehicle electronics (solenoid) which sends shift signal to the transmission. Bmw will not say this is an inherent issue with its product as evidenced by the number of similar complaints. When vehicle is in motion on any roadway at 40-55 MPH, a series of fault codes are displayed on the dashboard [transmission fault-drive moderately], and subsequently the vehicle will stall and not engage into gear. Efforts to prove that this is not owner/consumer responsibility due to the internal nature of the fault(s) are not accepted by the bmw dealer/company. The cost of company stated repairs ($3500-$8000) are beyond what the value of the vehicle is and financial ability to pay.

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.
