After stopping my 2003 745li BMW on Tuesday, December 14, 2010, (car was in park), I put gear selector into drive and vehicle started going into reverse causing me to almost hit vehicle behind me in the school zone. I turned off vehicle and started again thinking it was just a computer glitch, the car again proceeded to go backwards while in park and drive. After restarting vehicle the third time, the drive function finally worked. The following day I was able to drive the vehicle to a BMW service center. At the center the vehicle again started to act up and multiple transmission warnings and messages displayed. The vehicle only has approximately 63,000 miles. I feel that owners of the 2002 and 2003 745li should be informed of this safety issue as I have located several incidences on the internet of this same issue. My wife and I don't feel comfortable driving the family in our car that can cause an accident and possibly even kill someone. The dealership told me that they have seen this problem before and that there is an internal seal in the transmission which is probably leaking causing this issue. Hopefully this repair will take care of the problem.

Transmission skipped, especially when coming to a stop. . . It was diagnosed and "repaired" by replacing the "mechatronics" in the vehicle. Now, it has occurred again, and they claim now that it is the failure of the door opening system, installed by BMW, that's causing the battery to "leak", therefore causing the transmission to malfunction. . I don't understand the connection between the two items, and if so this could be extremely dangerous to myself and family. The car could come to a sudden stop at any time and cause us to go forward, and possible to do serious injury or death, or the battery could explode again causing serious injury. I would like to show you the records they provided to me, and be assured that this problem isn't one throughout their vehicles, like a bomb ready to go off at any time.

Transmission gives a lot of problems the shifting of the transmission is horrible when you come to a stop it feels as if you have been rear ended which makes the car launch forward which could result in a accident if foot is off the break.

When decelerating vehicle makes a sudden acceleration into traffic throwing passengers against the seats. Mr.
