Description of the problem	Oct 19th 2012, 2006 bmw 750li. (automatic park feature causes vehicle to almost run over my daughter on its own) i stopped the car on my driveway and opened the driver door while at the same time pushed the p park button on the shifter (opening door while car is stopped causes this model to automatically shift to "p" park) i proceeded to exit car to key in my garage code on the keypad mounted by the door about 8 feet away. This is my first car with automatic park feature so just in case i always manually push the "p" park button as a redundant habit. I think it's important to note that i physically saw the transmission shift from d drive to p park and light up before exiting the vehicle. The car was still running and in park!, when out of the corner of my eye, before the garage door could open i noticed the car following me. It moved about 8 feet and barely missed my 4 year old that was on her bicycle about 5 feet away. It slammed into my garage door at around 2-5mph before coming to a stop on its own before i could do anything about it. When i got back in the car, there was little gear light on the dash and a transmission failure code" appeared and it had shifted to n neutral on its own. Now when i attempt to put in d drive it automatically goes into neutral after a few seconds. Apparently, it went into neutral all by itself and inertial plowed into the door. It didn't make sense to me how it went from park to neutral until i read your article regarding an ongoing investigation. I further found through the bmw forums that this is an issue affecting many cars in this year and model range. I even noticed that your administration has investigated this issue in the past.
