Owner report 10127136 · 2005-06-30 (June 30, 2005)
THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 1999 BMW 750IL SCREAMED, & ROARED AND LURCHED INTO FOWARD AND THAN NOTHING. NO FORWARD OR REVERSE. AT THIS TIME NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. FROM ALL THE INTERNET SITES I HAVE RESEARCHED INCLUDING NHTSA IT APPEARS THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ONE THAT HAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND YET BMW AND THE DEALER SAY NO AND DENY ANY LIABILITY. YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED. THE NHTSA RECALL ID # IS 99V005000. THANKS.

Owner report 10183007 · 2007-02-20 (February 20, 2007)
CLOUDING OF LAMINATE LAYER BETWEEN PANES OF DOUBLE-PAINED SECURITY DOOR GLASS REDUCES VISIBILITY AND CAUSES SAFETY ISSUES. THE CAR WITH THIS $2600 OEM OPTION SUFFERS FROM DELAMINATION OF THE WINDOWS, WHICH REDUCES OR ELIMINATES VISIBILITY FROM THE DOOR WINDOWS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE. BMW ADMITS THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR OR REPLACE WINDOWS. BMW DEALER ESTIMATES COST TO REPLACE WINDOWS IS NEARLY $6000. *NM
