BMW of North America will be forced to recall 45,500 of their 7-Series sedans due to transmission issues occurring with the vehicles. Vehicles that are affected include cars manufactured from 2005 to 2008.

The German auto company said that the problem occurring with the cars is that transmissions may not remain in park due to a software malfunction on vehicles with keyless ignitions according to Reuters.

"If the driver exits the vehicle with the transmission in neutral and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in its official recall notice.

The BMW's were designed to shift into park right away when a driver presses the Stop/Start button to turn off the engine according to the company's press release.

Some owners have been reporting to the company that their cars don't stop however after pressing the button, and instead they have been shifting into neutral.

Letters will be sent to owners of the vehicles starting in November to alert them of the issue. Dealers won't be able to fix the problem in the cars until sometime in March however.

This is the second BMW to occur this month alone when the company had to recall the same 7-Series vehicles due to malfunctions with the car doors.

Customers were complaining to BMW that they had been experiencing problems with door latches which has since been credited to software malfunctions as well.

If you believe your car is experiencing either of these issues, BMW urges you to at least get the car checked out by a local mechanic so that you don't need to wait until March to find out if you should be driving your car or not.
