Description of the problem	My bmw x3 2008 was 'bought back' by bmw after three months of ownership in dec 2008 due to a problem with the transmission. The transmission would not respond when depressing the accelerator at random times. It happened once after pulling away from an ezpass booth - the car just froze and would not accelerate nearly causing an accident. This was so serious that bmw recognized it as a problem but could not fix it despite replacing major transmission parts. They assured me it was not a general problem in x3's so i allowed them to replace the 2008 x3 with a 2009 model. Less than 1000 miles and one month later the 2009 started exhibiting the same problems. This time bmw would not remedy the situation instead denying there was a problem with the car. The matter is currently with my lemon law lawyers and bmw. Here is a link to a blog that shows many bmw x3 owners have the problem - some have had their cars replaced by bmw and others have been ignored. This is a serious safety issue that is being ignored by the manufacturer (similar to the toyota issue). Please investigate before someone gets killed. Http://www. Bimmerfest. Com/forums/showthread.
