BMW 750LI jerking problems

My 2007 bmw li just started throwing itself into park while driving causing a major abrupt stop jerking the car to a stop. The transmission fault error came on and I turned the car off and waited a minute and turned it back on and was able to continue. It did this one more time before reaching home. Then the following day attempting to drive it as soon as I put it in reverse it jumped back into park. I had it towed to the dealer as I had read that there was a recall for bmw's with the same symptoms. I have since read numerous complaints of other bmw same year and model having the same problem. The dealer just said it wasn't covered under a recall and the transmission needs to be replaced and the cars age isn't worth the value of replacing the transmission so I have the car parked in my garage and cannot drive it. Bmw needs to step up and take responsibility. There are plenty of the same make, model, and year having the same issue.

Bmw 2011 has only 88,000 miles and both high pressure fuel pumps need to be replaced at a cost of $1400. The car was in motion and said powertrain malfunction, the car slows down on the road which can cause an accident, starts jerking and spitting white smoke. This is a know problem under sib130215 which states only production dates between jan 2011 and dec 2011. My production date was oct 2010. The same problem exists with many of the n63 engine cars. Please take a look at this problem as it seems to be a defect in the engineering of the vehicleand not necessarily the parts. This causes a serious problem when driving on the highway. Also, I had to get all my coils and spark plugs changed as well which was not covered in my warranty. This is also a known problem for these cars. The customer pays too much for these cars to have a totally defective vehicle.

The vehicle jerks when going from stop to drive. At times it is so severe that I think the car has been hit from behind. Also moves very slowly when proceeding from stop to drive. This problem is less noticeable while on the highway going at fixed speed. The problem is during traffic drive. Have been struggling with this issue for approximately three years. Dealer unable to replicate problem; however as soon as I drive car, it immediately kicks. Getting worse with time. Another problem is the door latches. All my door latches are faulty. The rear passenger cannot be opened from inside and if opened from outside, you run the risk of it not locking at all. All doors have similar issues.

Near miss a couple times..........whenever sitting still for a period of time then go to take off there is a big bluish gray smoke cloud. At the same time the car will take off then do a jerky stop and go again. I've almost been rear ended many of times. If sitting somewhere for longer then 2-3 minutes the car is surrounded by this smoke. Its a known issue with bmw. To me this is a safety issue along with environmental and health issue.
