By Joe Benton September 3, 2007
The transmission failure is one of the most expensive and widespread automobile repair bills plaguing consumers today, according to our readers. The faulty automatic transmission is in use, when it works, in many used BMW sedans across the country. Consumers from all over the U.S. are reporting the failure. Without notice, the reverse gear stops working in BMWs, many of them the popular 323i luxury sedan. BMW service centers charge as much as $7,000 to repair the transmission, according to ConsumerAffairs.com readers. Here are a few examples: John in Memphis, Tennessee:
Garrett in Carlsbad, California:
Kevin in Middletown, New Jersey
Jorge in Miami, Florida
These are just a few of the problems reported to us. See our BMW transmission complaints page for more. A message to the wise and wary: If you're shopping for a used car, that spiffy BMW with the automatic transmission is one you should probably avoid. Report Your Experience
