IN JUNE 2018, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL, TO WIT, BMW AG HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT, WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY...FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED MY BMW VIN # [XXX] IS AMONG THE RECALLED CARS.

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND SHAKE FORCEFULLY. DUE TO THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED OCCURRENCE, I NEARLY LOST CONTROL AND NEARLY CRASHED INTO VEHICLES IN MY GENERAL AREA. I WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT WHICH TIME I OBSERVED A WARNING NOTICE ON MY DASH WHICH STATED; "...MAXIMUM DRIVETRAIN OUT PUT NOT AVAILABLE..." AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND REGAINING MY COMPOSURE. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE WARNING ON THE DASH HAD DISAPPEARED. AFTER BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF, I RE-ENTERED THE TRAFFIC. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MILE, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY CORRECT
