I believe this is a safety issue and can happen at any time without warning to me or other owners of similar vehicles putting my safety and other's safety at great risk. On May 20, 2020, I was stopped on a red light at neckel rd to cross highway 86 in imperial ca. When it turned green, I released the break pedal and normally accelerated. Suddenly my vehicle stopped in the middle of highway 86 and put itself in the park position showing "drive train fault" alarm. It stopped in the middle of the car's traffic and I was not able to shift it to neutral position to move it out of the way. With vehicles traffic moving around me, I turn my car off and on three times, with about ten seconds in between off an on, before the alarm would reset. Once the alarm cleared, I aborted my short trip and was able to drive it back home safely but I am concern this may happen again at any time at higher speeds putting my safety and others' safety at risk. I would like to know if other have reported similar issues / complains with this vehicles and what is BMW doing about it. Thank you very much.
