I bought my E92 from a dealer 3 Months ago and every 2-3 Weeks or so i see the transmission warning light appear and car goes on limp mode. When i switch off the engine and turn on again, everything is back to normal.
Since it is still within the 6 months lemon law period, i went to the workshop that the dealer asked me to go to.
The technician told me that the error was with switching from gear 4 to 5 and can be cleared by changing the transmission oil and filter and need to charge me $400.00 for it.
The dealer is telling me the lemon law will be void if i do this servicing in my own preferred workshop. i am rather skeptical about this and afraid this problem might be back after the 6 mths lemon law period.
Have any of you guys gone through this or would give me some advise on my rights as a consumer. Transmission problem could be very expensive if i do not resolve it soon enough.

If it's problematic, shouldn't the dealer pay for the repairs as its within 6 months?

Dun make sense. Problem is gear 4 & 5... change oil cant help. Solenoid issues likely? Dun kana fake by dealer or workshop. Just chk your terms n agreement with dealer. Send it to your trusted workshop n send the bill to dealer
With addition of last week, i have gone to the dealer's workshop 5 times and they are not able to resolve the automatic transmission warning light. The workshop has made me do a transmission servicing at my cost but the warning light continues to come up. All the workshop does is reset the warning.
Do any of your guys have experience on how to handle car dealers on this warranty issue? i only have 1 month left on my lemon law warranty and i am worried. : (
Do you think going to PML will help? Is there a hotline or governing body that i can report this issue to?
Basically how we read it is a defect but dealer push you to workshop n workshop resets. Why dun you send the car to pml to ask for a quotation and then send the quotation to your dealer? 1 month is very fast over... dun wait. Get more opinion from site sponsors here as well.
