The contact owns a 2013 BMW 135i. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
2013 135I coupe with dual clutch. Car will take about 2-3 seconds to accelerate when accelerating from a rolling stop. I have almost gotten into 3 accidents at intersections because of this. I'll press the accelerator when there is space for me to go making a left at a light and by the time the car reacts 3 seconds later it is very dangerous. One of the times my car popped into neutral by itself as I was making a left at a light and I stayed stuck at the intersection for 5 seconds after the light turned red already. Also, car clunks and jerks forward when coming to a stop. Car will move a few inches forward and I'm scared I am going to hit the car in front of me. All of these issues only occur with the air conditioning on.
