TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750I. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V328000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM BUSH BMW JACKSONVILLE (9875 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225) WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE.

THERE WAS A RECALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO REGARDING THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR ON MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA STATES THEY REPAIRED IT. HOWEVER, I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE NOW AND THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SENSOR LIGHT IS FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD. ACCORDING TO THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF THIS IS FAULTY AND HAPPEN, I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR.

BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME VERY HARD TO ENGAGE. IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF FORCE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. A MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND THAT BMW HAD A RECALL FOR THE SYSTEM - 10V-466. I CALLED BMW WARRANTY AND INFORMED THEM OF THE REASON FOR MY CALL AS WELL AS THE VIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING RECALL NOTICES FOR MY VEHICLE. WHILE NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHEN, THE FACT THAT THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING RECALL NOTICES ON THIS VEHICLE APPARENTLY INDICATING THAT THE CORRECTION ON THE CAR HAD BEEN MADE. AFTER A LENGTHY DEBATE ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANT AND WHY BMW SAID THEY HAD NO MORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE, I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. I GOT SARAH (EMPLOYEE #7716), AN ESCALATION SUPERVISOR. VERY NICE BUT ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO, THAT BMW WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MATTER AND THERE WAS NO ONE THAT SHE COULD ESCALATE ME TO. IF THE CORRECTION, AS SPELLED OUT IN THE RECALL NOTICE WAS IN FACT M

ROLLAWAY: CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 THROUGH 2008 7 SERIES EQUIPPED WITH THE COMFORT ACCESS OPTION AND MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 23, 2004 THROUGH JULY 24, 2008 HAVE AN ELECTRONIC KEY AND AN ELECTRONIC CONNECTION BETWEEN THE GEAR SHIFTER AND THE TRANSMISSION (SHIFT-BY-WIRE) THAT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES THE START/STOP BUTTON TO SHUTDOWN THE ENGINE. IF THE ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON IS PRESSED 2 OR 3 TIMES WITHIN A SHORT TIME INTERVAL, THE SYSTEM MAY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL RATHER THAN PARK. IF USING THE ELECTRONIC KEY (COMFORT ACCESS MODE), THERE WOULD BE NO PROTECTION FROM THE IGNITION INTERLOCK THAT PREVENTS KEY REMOVAL IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK.

THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE FAULT LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE COMING ON AND THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO SWITCH GEARS. ON SOME OCCASIONS PARK BECOMES NEUTRAL, ALSO IT HESITATES TO START. SOMETIMES THE ONLY GEAR THAT WILL WORK IS REVERSE. THE CAR WAS JUST STARTED, IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY WHEN THESE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED.
