i3

  • 16,176 miles
I came out of the public garage where I charged my 2018 BMW I3's at a charge point station for a little less than 4 hours (about 47 miles range), and suddenly when stopped at a red light, a big red error message came up on the dashboard (drivetrain something....) and the car stopped. I tried to restart it a few times and eventually it started again and allowed me to go back home. I read a few things online confirming that there is no warning message and that the car can just stop like that and I'm very concerned that it happen on a freeway when driving with my kids in it. This is not safe!!!
