2007 BMW 750LI Powertrain (other) Problems

I had my car towed to BMW OF WEST SPRINGFIELD MA, to get car initially overhaul and completely fixed I understand that are six underlying recalls airbags, odb communications, brakes, electrical, door latches, after calling and letting them know my car was on its way, I requested a courtesy call and no was given I call two days later to be told my car wasn’t on the lot, then to be called back hours later to be told they could not find key to my vehicle, also they tried to make me pay for the lost key in WHICH THEY LOST, they still refuse to fix the recall and are requesting me get it towed out at there expense the recalls can only be fixed by BMW, also MASSACHUSETTS AND FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THEM TO BE FIXED, so therefore the car cannot leave the lot until recall is fixed

1) The electrical section of the dashboard for speed, checking gas levels etc. is no longer visible. It is available for inspection! 2) For the obvious reason: unable to determine all safety measures such as speed, driving safety such as gas level, warning signals etc.! 3) The problem was the result of numerous visits to the dealership regarding the rain leaking into the car. Which they said they were unable to find a leak or leaks. Advised the of possible recall re: car latch issues where the water leaks into the car via trunk etc. They finally realized their error. But failed to repair. Said it was a recall issue. 4) As mentioned...Has been inspected numerous times by the dealership in Willoughby, OH! 5) Of course there were warning signs that there was a problem or would eventually be a problem when water starts getting into your car: when it shouldn't (doors closed, windows up sunroof closed etc. However, as I said previously, the dealership inspected the car enough times to find what the problem was and avoid the damage cause: (UNLESS IT IS/WAS AN ISSUE THAT WARRANT A RECALL OF THE CAR'S SEALING, SUNROOF, LATCH ETC. THAT WAS DEFFECTIVE!!! NOTE: The dealership indicated that the water was getting in to the car, but couldn't stop it from getting in didn't have the knowledge to fix? Wouldn't that be a recall matter? MY SAFETY & OTHERS IS AT STAKE IF YOU DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF A DEFECT IN THIS BMW.

MY 2007 BMW LI JUST STARTED THROWING ITSELF INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A MAJOR ABRUPT STOP JERKING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION FAULT ERROR CAME ON AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. IT DID THIS ONE MORE TIME BEFORE REACHING HOME. THEN THE FOLLOWING DAY ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT JUMPED BACK INTO PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AS I HAD READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR BMW'S WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I HAVE SINCE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF OTHER BMW SAME YEAR AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER JUST SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER A RECALL AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE CARS AGE ISN'T WORTH THE VALUE OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION SO I HAVE THE CAR PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND CANNOT DRIVE IT. BMW NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND AT FIRST, AND THEN WHEN IT DOES FINALLY ACCELERATE IT SWITCHES GEARS SO HARD THE WHOLE CAR LUNGES FORWARD, I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO DO SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THIS NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE CAR STILL CONTINUES TO DO THIS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS AT 55,000 MILES, MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 65,000 MILES. IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF YOU PRESS THE PEDAL TO TURN, THERE IS SUCH A DELAY THAT IT MAY NOT BE SAFE TO TURN ANYMORE BUT THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES.
