Transmission Stuck In Gear problem #1

While driving on wet pavement transmission shifted into second gear and became stuck. The dealer was contacted.

Clutch problem #2

Ive contacted Bmwna and nothing has been done. They have ignored many many attempts to resolve this problem. Lawsuit being considered. No safety defect.

Automatic Transmission problem #3

The transmisson failure nearly resulted in an accident when the car stopped in the middle of an intersection and I was nealry hit in the drivers side. The horn failure nearly resulted in an accident when a woman began to drive into the side of my vehicle - I had a car behind me so I could not apply the brakes instead I saw myself clear and crossed double solid yellow lines on to the oncoming traffic side in order to avert an accident. That was the first timei ever had to use the horn in the vehicle and it did not work.
