When car put in reverse; transmission goes into neutral abruptly. Trans in neutral code appears on dash.

The contact owns a 2002 BMW 745i. While having regular maintenance performed on vehicle, the mechanic advised that the transmission was leaking, stating that the oil pan and gasket would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who advised that the vehicle was not included in any recalls and provided no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 109,084 and the current mileage was 109,347. Updated 07/08/lj updated 07/15/11.

While parked, the vehicle will come out of p (park mode) and foll away unattended. The vehicle was put into park automatically by pushing the start/stop button, and after leaving the vehicle, it was seen rolling across the street as if it was in neutral hitting the curb across the street.

My BMW 745i 2002 with "drive by wire" six gear automatic transmission developed a rough shift, "clunk" in the lower gear ranges. In the lower gears, the vehicle sometimes down shifts unexpectedly resulting in a sudden drop in speed. This could cause an accident if someone was following to close behind.

The vehicle jams into 1st gear when coming to a stop. Occurs just about every time the vehicle is stopped after high speeds. The vehicle's mechetronic module, transmission computer, was replaced at over 3,000 dollars.

Transmission slams hard when accelerating from first gear to second gear.

Transmission jerks and goes to neutral. Sometimes it goes into a failsafe mode and once the car is restarted returns to normal.
