Automatic Transmission problems of the 2001 BMW X5

I bought my 2001 BMW X5 last Saturday. . . 7 days later, I got the no reverse problem that I am now hearing is typical in Bmws. It just went out. Luckily the dealer I bought it from was nice enough to take the car back. They didn't have to as it was used. Otherwise I would have been out $5,000. This car had 107k miles on it. BMW needs to acknowledge this serious problem and correct it at their expense. This is wrong.

I own a 2001 BMW X5. The car is in working condition, repaired and maintained as needed. The automobile no longer goes in reverse at 91,000 miles. The transmission needs to be rebuilt. I hear this is a very common problem with BMW's. I was told that it is the zf5hp19 or steptronic transmission. It is a failure of the d-g clutch drum. This is a huge safety hazard for the person driving the vehicle and for everyone around the vehicle.

2001 BMW X5 4. 4 with 88,000 miles. I shifted to reverse to back out of my parking spot, and when I tried to apply the gas the engine revved but the car did not reverse. Reverse was like another neutral. Took it into local BMW dealership for inspection and they said we need to replace our transmission.

While parked, the automatic transmission shift lever moved into the reverse position, but the car failed to move with the lever in that position. We changed the position of the shift lever several times always going back to reverse, but the car would never move when in reverse.

Dsc, brakes, abs, check engine lights on. Vehicle loses power, enters limp mode.

2001 BMW X5 4. 4l - 80. K miles (maintained as instructed by dealer) reverse has gone out. Seems numerous forums repeat the same problems over & over again. BMW &/or transmission supplier should be responsible as it seems this happens more often than not. Repair cost b/t $$$5-7k. Merry christmas. . . . .

Transmission chip keeps failing, causing transmission to loose first, second the fifth gears. Vehicle has been taken to dealer 4 times for this problem.
