MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE 95, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY GAVE A WARNING MESSAGE BRIEFLY, SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF "PARKING" ISSUE AND JUST STARTED TO SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY (LOSING POWER). SHE HAD TO COAST AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE TO MAKE A FULL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY HIGHWAY - FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT RESULTED FROM THIS SUDDEN SHUTTING DOWN OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS GOING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE BMW DARIEN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ERROR CODE RECORDED BY THE CAR COMPUTER. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING CONSIDER IT IS A NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES AND IT WOULD JUST SHUTDOWN FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, EVEN MORE CONCERNING THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
