Shortly after purchasing your car, a "Drivetrain Malfunction" warning appeared while parking, prompting you to visit a service center. The dealer ran diagnostics but couldn't reproduce the problem; BMW had them reset the system by draining and reconnecting the battery, which cleared the error. Since the reset, you've noticed occasional jerking or lurching when accelerating in electric-only mode.

NHTSA #: 11713010
