| Description of the problem | In a matter of two hours my 325i was running fine to not going in reverse at all. I have been researching this problem and it seems to be happening in a lot of cars my year and type. This is a safety hazard because there is no warning, one minute you can back up next it is just stalled in reverse. Bmw needs to stand up and see that their product has a defect and potentially can cause injuries. The dealership i called said it's is the transmission, let's set up an appt and bring it in. It still goes no problem at all in drive. Someone please help!!!! |
