2006 BMW 7 Series Suspension Problems

MY 2006 BMW 750LI WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE ON FRIDAY 7/5/2019 AROUND 11:00 P.M. AND REMAINED THERE. ON SUNDAY MORNING 7/7/2019 AROUND 8:45 A.M. MY CAR ALARM SOUNDED AND WHEN I LOOK OUTSIDE MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. THE BLAZE FROM THE FIRS NOT ONLY BURNED UP MY BMW BUT ALSO MY DAMAGED MY SUV AND DAMAGED MY OTHER CAR. THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR OVER 36 HOURS BEFORE THE FIRE BEGAN.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE SLIPPING AND THEN A VIOLENT KICK FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR COMES RIGHT AFTER.

CAR STOPS ON FREEWAY, NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH STEERING, POWER LOCK, SHIFTING

HAVE A 2006 BMW 750I AND WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS. I STOPPED AT THE DRY CLEANERS TO GET MY CLOTHING. I ONLY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHILE I WENT INSIDE THE DRY CLEANERS. I PAID FOR MY ITEMS AND WENT TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE NO MOVEMENT HAPPENED. I SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN COMPLETELY AND RESTARTED IT. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN R FOR REVERSE AND IT SWITCHED BACK TO P FOR PARK. THE VEHICLE AGAIN WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT DID THE SAME THING NOTHING. I CALLED MY SPOUSE AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE BY EDGING THE VEHICLE WHILE IN REVERSE MODE. WHILE MY SPOUSE WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE JERKED. I OFTEN NOTICE THAT IF I PARK ON A HILL AND GO IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE JERKS AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE I JUST HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED RECENTLY AND ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTION THAT THE BMW SERVICE DID THE TRANSMISSION IS GOOD. *TR
