Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have noticed that when decelerating into a stop sign or red light, the transmission at times will violently kick the car forward as if I was just rear ended. It feels like you are getting run into from behind. I have taken the car into the Bmw dealership where I have been told that they could not re-create the event during their test drive. I have also taken the car to a third party authorized Bmw auto repair shop where I have been told that it is a common issue for the 7 series model that I have but Bmw has offered no solution to the problem. …”
