2006 BMW 750LI Engine Problems

“Took my car in to be serviced and was informed of this leak in the vacuum pump and steering switch. Consequently, I seen there was a recall for 2006 bmws with a NHTSA campaign id number of 10v446000 with a recall date of 2012-10-01 for the vacuum pump. I called the dealership and they told me my car wasn't included.....but I believe it should be.”

“When I was in park put car in reverse and car would not go in reverse went back into neutral on its own , so I put car back in park and retried and put it reverse several times and when the transmission kicked into reverse there was a large clank sound and a jerk that felt like I had been hit from behind , when stopped at red light to take off same thing the car jerked again . Then transmission fault light came on stated drive moderately, and another warning came on stating certain gears were not working correctly . …”

“2 separate issues 1st, the vehicle when in park cannot switch to drive or reverse, it will only switch to neutral. Happen on countless occasions. Brought the vehicle to russell Bmw who told me I have to pay to replace the transmission. Recall 93562 is now posted on Bmw website detailing the same issue. Spoke to a rep who dismissed my vehicle complaint because the VIN # does not fall under the luxury package therefore not included in the recall. 2nd issue..the vehicle brakes when applied does not stop. …”

“When driving down the interstate the car lost power go from during 60mph to 20 MPH and I was on the gas, the vehicle stall out and would take 3-10 seconds to re-gain any power before the vehicle would begin to accelerate. Also once coming up to a stoplight or stop sign, the vehicle would feel as if someone had slammed into the back of me possibly jerking into gear. Spent countless times at the dealership with them giving me the run around, replacing random parts before replacing the entire transmission and still the vehicle continues to have issues. …”

“The car transmission will not engage. If you try to put the car in reverse or forward gear nothing happens. The gear goes to neutral and does not let parking gear or any other gear angage. If gear stays in drive mod and when you are wondering what to do gear suddenly engages itself and car shoots itself if brake pedal was not pressed. I contacted the dealer who notified that they could not assess the problem for a week because of busy schedule. The car is in non dealer shop currently.”
