Transmission switching into neutral! any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I did a quick search but couldnt find similar issue. I have a friend with a 2012 35i x3. For the past three mornings while driving the veh, it automatically switches from drive gear to neutral gear...!? She is able to pull over and re-start..and the issue goes away but continues to occur. This is an obvious safety issue.

Anyone else experience this problem, ideas? She will be taking veh into service dept soon.

cheers!

i think it has happened to me when starting out, never while driving. I have always rationalized it as perhaps i didnt have it in gear properly. remember that is a electric switch, so the switch could go bad.

Resolved! Issue not the x3 but faulty third party install of trailer hitch.
