X5 Transmission Problems To Come

[frontline motors]

******* Transmission Problems To Come******* No Warnings, And Bmw America Will Not Stand Behind Repair. Make Sure You Get An Extended Warranty. My Reverse Gear Just Suddenly Went Out @ 60k Mile On A 01 4.4i. NO LIGHTS CAME ON OR FLUID LEAKS, JUST BURNT OUT.

BMW AMERICAN NEED TO RECALL THE ISSUE. THERE ARE CURRENLTY 46 TRANSMISSIONS ON BACK ORDER FROM GERMANY. MY X5 HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP WAITING FOR OVER A MONTH NOW.

ANY OTHERS OUT THERE WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OUT THE BLUE?

CONSIDERING CLASS ACTION SUIT....THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALL ISSUE.

It is unfortunate that this happened to you and that you have to wait so damn long just for the new transmission. Did the dealership provide any explanation of why the gear went? I find it awfully stupid for it to just die so early, especially since reverse gear is BY FAR the least used gear.

If that dealership is like ours, they don't rebuild or take apart the transmissions. We just take them out and ship them back to BMW, and install the replacement.
