Thanks for any insight!!



Car would not start a week ago. The message that i got from the car was:

1. Transmission Malfunction
2. restraint System Malfunction
3. Brake Malfuntion.

Took it to the dealership and told me it was the battery was low and that it was due to Customers behavior. got the car back Monday, drove the car 40 miles everyday in traffic for 2 hours a day since getting the car back. Yesterday night after getting home from work, car would not start again. same message with 1 addition:

1. Transmission Malfunction
2. restraint System Malfunction
3. Brake Malfuntion.
4. Braking/Chasis Stabilization Malfunction.

Cars back in the shop. I also have about 17,000 miles on the car. I love my dealership

My car spent jusr short of 90 days in the shop. Everything (or so it seemed) was replaced from the alternator, battery, various modules, rear heating controls, the screen,,,really virtually everything,,,and finally it came down to the radio,,,,even though it was showing that it was turned off,,,there was still some kind of drain that was occuring. After the radio was replaced,,,no more issues to date.....I too had a great dealer that was working on this,,,and always provided me with a very good loaner,,from a 7 series to a X5d........hope you get yours fixed!...opps,,I didn't notice the sarcastic remark about the dealer...
