2 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2005 BMW 545

Failure Date: 10/10/2008

My 2005 BMW 545i has a hesitation, and strong hard downshift present, under factory warranty I complained about this, and now outside of factory warranty I am still having issues, and no one is willing to do anything about it at my dealer basney imports. When calling Bmwna they are unwilling to help until a "hard code" is present, even though the service advisor, and technicians have road around with me in the car, and felt the situation.
