If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF SUDDEN, DASHBOARD BECOMES BLANK. I BROUGHT THIS POINT TO BMW BELLEVUE DEALER. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE IDENTIFIED. HOWEVER, IT OCCURRED A COUPLE OF TIMES IN A YEAR. SINCE I WAS DRIVING 35-SPEED LIMIT ROAD, I PULLED THE VEHICLE AND STOPPED THE ENGINER AND THEN RESTART. THE ISSUE DISAPPREAD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT WOULD BE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IT WHEN I'M DRIVING AT HIGHWAYS OR AT HIGH SPEED.
Since 12v battery is down towing truck driver tried to jump start the car, there is no way to move the car, he failed to start car so move manually for towing to BMW service center. they reported EME(controller computer) Board damage, and BMW guessed jump start could damage, so insurance appraiser came to review and rejected this because BMW said there is no way to prove this, and then they charged EME B/D that is very expensive($9500) this is second time 12v Battery fail, it always make additional problem and make the car be unstable, I think this is design electrical issue
Auxiliary cooling fan failed but engine light did not turn on causing EME fault. Cooling fan had to be replaced and overheated my engine.
