2007 BMW 750LI Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“My 2007 Bmw li just started throwing itself into park while driving causing a major abrupt stop jerking the car to a stop. The transmission fault error came on and I turned the car off and waited a minute and turned it back on and was able to continue. It did this one more time before reaching home. Then the following day attempting to drive it as soon as I put it in reverse it jumped back into park. I had it towed to the dealer as I had read that there was a recall for Bmw's with the same symptoms. I have since read numerous complaints of other Bmw same year and model having the same problem. …”

“When accelerating the car does not respond at first, and then when it does finally accelerate it switches gears so hard the whole car lunges forward, I took the car into the dealership three times. Each time they said they needed to do software upgrade. This never fixed the problem. The car still continues to do this. The first time I took the car to the dealership the car was at 55,000 miles, my car is currently at 65,000 miles. It is a real safety concern because if you press the pedal to turn, there is such a delay that it may not be safe to turn anymore but the car then accelerates.”

“Car screen panel dead. No visuable information on car panel to determine speed, gas level etc. Car picked up from dealership after service and told of water leak in car. Had been told by the service dept that they could not find a leak of water into car. However, apparently, they did not want to repair the panel due to their neligence. The car had been taken to them with this issue several times as a potential recall issue.”

“Driving car in normal circumstances sudden, harsh downshift when accelerating while transmission in s mode severe jolt to driver and passenger in vehicle - as if involved in car accident - potential requirement for medical attention to deal with spinal injury dealer states unable to re-create situation.”

“Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Bmw 750LI. The contact stated that there had been no concerns with the vehicle before the recall repair. The contact had the recall repair for NHTSA campaign id number: 12v502000 (electrical system, power train) and after the repair the contact had noticed the transmission slipping gears at random. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who was to inspect, diagnose and repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified that the failure started after the recall repair. The approximate failure mileage was 75000. Dyd”
