2007 BMW X3 Sav complaints

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY, HESITATES ON OCCASION AND WHEN COLD IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO REV IN EXCESS OF 3,000 RPM BEFORE SHIFTING. *TR

2007 BMW X3. THE SIX SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS POORLY AT SLOW SPEEDS GOING UP HILLS. VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD AFTER DOWN SHIFTING TO TOO LOW OF A GEAR AND OVER REV BEFORE UP SHIFTING. THE GEAR SELECTION SEEMS INAPPROPRIATE WHEN GOING SLOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS; HOWEVER, THE PRESENT SOFTWARE FIX DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *TR

TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY BETWEEN THE GEARS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. BETWEEN GEAR 1 AND GEAR 2. IT SEEMS TO WANT TO STALL AT THE START. *TR

THIS IS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. 1)THERE IS A DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE THROUGH THE 1-2 UPSHIFT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. 2)THERE IS A LACK OF POWER OR HESITATION WHEN REAPPLYING THROTTLE, DURING EITHER A 4-3 OR 3-2 TIP-IN DOWNSHIFT. THIS MAY OCCUR AFTER SLOWING WITH A CLOSED THROTTLE. 3)HARSH DOWNSHIFTS WHEN SLOWING ON A ROADWAY WITH A RISING GRADIENT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AS IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, OR CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION SINCE THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLS AT SOME POINTS UPON TAKE OFF. LIFE THREATENING. THERE HAVE BEEN 4 ATTEMPTS SO FAR TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BY THE DEALER WITH LITTLE SUCCESS. THIS WAS DONE BY REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER MODULE THAT CONTROLS SHIFTING. THE 2007 MODEL AND BACK DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS SPECIFICALLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

BMW X3 IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE SLOWLY . IT HESITATES IN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, ON HILLS, ON CORNERS AND THEN TAKES OFF VERY RAPIDLY. THE DEALERSHIP IN SEATTLE HAS WORKED ON IT THREE TIMES AND REPORTS THAT THEY CANNOT FIX IT, THEY ARE AWARE OF IT BUT NO FIX IS AVAILABLE. BMW IN FIFE REFUSED TO EVEN TRY TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

MY NEW 2007 BMW X3 HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND SEEMS TO SHIFT IN PECULIAR WAYS. IT SUFFERS FROM A LACK OF RESPONSE WHICH IS TOTALLY UNLIKE MY FIRST 6 BMW'S. IT IS QUITE UN-DRIVABLE AS IT IS. *JB

ACCELERATION HESITATION ON BWM X3 ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC FROM STOP (0 MPH). UNANTICIPATED LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHILE MAINTAINING PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL. *JB

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND, MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE ALSO HAS DIFFICULTY SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, CAUSING IT TO ROLL FORWARD WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED. *TR

VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. THIS OCCURS INFREQUENTLY WHEN VEHICLE IS COASTING AT A FEW MPH. *TR

SINCE PURCHASE OF MY 2007 BMW X3 IN NOV 2006 THE ENGINE HESITATED PERIODICALLY WHEN IACCELLERATING. I HAVE TAKEN TIRES TO THE BMW SERVICE CENTER, WHO DROVE THE CAR AND AGREED THEIR WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE MANY CARS WITHIN A CERTAIN LOT OF VIN NUMBERS , WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND MY VIN NUMBER FALLS WITHIN THIS LOT. I WAS ALSO TOLD AT THIS TIME, BMW HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS, THE CAR HESITATES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THEN SURGES FORWARD. THIS IS A PERIODIC OCCURANCE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ENGINE GETS THE FUEL BUT THEN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. BMW SERVICE SAID THEY WOULD KEEP IN CONTACT WITH ME ABOUT FIXING THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM IN OVER ONE MONTH. I LEFT ANOTHER MESSAGE LAST WEEK AND HAVE NOT HAD A RETURN CALL. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE? THANK YOU.*AK
