I suffered a breakdown in my 2014 BMW 328d on 26 Oct 21 with a drive train malfunction warning. Vehicle stalled and was unable to be restarted. Vehicle was towed to local repair shop, International Auto Specialist, located in Fredericksburg, VA, and diagnosed as a high pressure fuel pump failure and calling for the entire replacement of the vehicles fuel system. At the recommendation of my local repair shop, the vehicle was then towed 59 miles to the closest BMW dealership, BMW Fairfax, VA, for repair. The safety issue I have is that a recall notice (Recall Campaign #21V-586) was issued by BMW North America in September 2021 for High Pressure Fuel Pump failures affecting 2014-2018 BMW diesel engine vehicles ranging from 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X3 SAV, and X5 SAV models. I never received a recall notice for this vehicle, or my 2015 BMW X5d SAV, and have been told by BMW Fairfax, VA, and BMW Corporate that my high pressure fuel pump only carries an extended 10-year, 120,000 warranty, even through both vehicles falls within the parameters of the open recall notice issued by BMW North America. Further, BMW Fairfax, VA has informed me that all other parts damaged by the High Pressure Fuel Pump failure are not covered by the extended warranty and any cost associated with additional repairs is the customers responsibility, regardless of the fact that they will only replace the defective part at the time of failure and not before. How can BMW North America issue a recall notice for a specific group of vehicles, but not include all vehicles that fall within the specifications associated to the recall? This part failure occurred while I was driving in heavy traffic and I was fortunate it did not cause series bodily harm to myself or others. I respectfully request you investigate the situation to determine BMW's liability and inept handling of this recall in order to prevent others from being harmed. Documentation can be provided if necessary. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2014 BMW 328D. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving approximately 50-55 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently stalled in the middle of the highway. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact's daughter was unable to veer to the side of the road due to oncoming traffic. The police arrived on the scene and stopped the traffic before assisting the contact's daughter in pushing the vehicle to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel pump and the fuel pump control unit needed to be replaced. The dealer advised the contact that the vehicle would be repaired at his own expense since the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V586000 (Fuel System, Diesel). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,602.

UNKNOWN- NOT SAFETY RELATED ISSUE: VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE NAVIGATION RELATED FEATURES REASON: BMW NORTH AMERICA DECLINED TO UPGARE CELLULAR 3G COMMUNICATION CAPABILITY TO 4G (SIM CARD INTERFACE) REASON: NORTH AMERICAN CELLULAR NETWORKS ARE DISCONTINUING THEIR 3G NETWORKS AND AND ARE UPGRADING TO 4G NETWORKS. MANY CANY MANUFACTURERS PROVIDE VEHICLE RELATED FEATURES THAT REQUIRE THE VEHICLE TO COMMUNICATE VIA THE CELLULAR NETWORKS. IMPACT:CERTAIN BMW VECHICLES SOLD WITH MANUFATURER PURCHASED FEATURES FOR NAVIGATION WITH THE LIVE TRAFFIC CAPABILITY SOLD ON A SUBSRIPTION BASIS AFTER THE INTIAL WARRANTY PERIOD STOPPED FUNCTIONING BMW CUSTOMER INTERACTION RELATED INFO: - Attempted to use the live traffic info and contacted BMW customer service - Response was that this feature is no loger available because it uses 3G and 3G is being discontinued. I was directed to the local Dealer for upgrade - Local Delar confirmed that do not have information for this upgrade and directed me back to BMW customer support - I contacted BMW customer service and they confirmed that this feature operates on 3G and no longer available Connected Drive installed on the vehicle CUSTOMER CONCERN: I do expect a car manufacurer that sells vehicles with cellular dependent features to conform to the latest cellular communication standard in North America and issue a recall to upgrade 3G dependent vehicles with certain sold capabilities that stopped operating due to the 3G to 4G transition in North America

Occasionally it is impossible to unlock the door from the inside with the manual door unlock. The door operates in a two-step manner - pull the door latch once to unlock the door, and then pull again to open the door. However, sometimes the first pull fails to unlock the door and the only way to unlock the vehicle is with the electric door unlock. When this occurs, there is notable tension in the door handle, and the pop-up unlock indicator does move upwards in synch with the door handle position - it's simply not reaching the unlock point, and there is resistance felt in the door latch. Even trying to assist the mechanism by grasping the unlock indicator (as doors used to be unlocked in this fashion) does not work. Obviously, if the electric system fails for any reason, not being able to open the door is a major safety issue. When this happens it is also observed that the electric lock operates very slowly. Instead of the post popping up and unlocking almost immediately, it takes a second or two for the door to unlock, as if there is additional internal resistance in the mechanism. This is observed on BOTH the driver and passenger side doors. I have brought this to the attention of the dealer on separate occasions. The suggestion has been to replace a cable in the door due to stretch. However, based on the nature of the issue and the symptoms in both doors it seems like an issue with the latch or locking mechanism itself. The passenger door is unlocked very infrequently compared to the driver's door and it seem unlikely they would wear at the same rate if it was a cable stretch issue. I have been able to record a video of this problem occurring. I plan to show it to the dealer at my next service in the next couple weeks since they were unable to replicate the issue.

The failure mileage was approximately 154,000.

Timing chain snapped and blew the engine, no warning at all. more than 60+ miles from home

In July 2021 I was driving on a residential street when my vehicle experienced loss of power. The vehicle shutdown and stopped in the middle of the road. Mechanic found metal particles in fuel system that may have been cause by fuel pump failure. It was reported to insurance company. The fuel system was replaced but vehicle continues to have issues with leaks etc.

While on a red light we were at a dead stop. As the light turned green to turn right I accelerated the gas pedal and the car stalled out in the middle of the road while traffic was flowing. Had to push the car out of the road and had to get the car towed home. Now the car doesn’t turn on it just cranks over.

The contact owns a 2014 BMW 328D. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The contact stated the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign number 21V586000 (Fuel System, Diesel). The failure mileage was 133,139.

On my drive home I noticed a strong smell of dizel fuel.Stoped as soon as it was possible . Noticed a fuel was poring to the ground under my engine. Shut it down and call AAA. At the BMW dealership repair shop they found a broken fuel supply line that was rubbing against the vacuum pipe.My car was covered with fuel from engine to a trunk to everything under including muffler ,soaking wet weals and tires, I lost a half tank of fuel in about 5 minutes. It's scare me a lot ,I think it was a miracle it did not catch a fire on 93 degree day, my wife will never sit in this car again.I will feel guilty if I will sell this car to somebody else.Don't know what to do now. What kind of design it is? How fuel line can constantly rub something else? This car just over 70000 miles, garage kept, never been in any accidents, well maintain.

I HAVE TWO ISSUES WITH MY 2014 BMW 328D. FIRST, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE BACKING UP INTO MY DRIVEWAY ON REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UNEXPECTEDLY INTO NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO PUT IT INTO "D" AND DRIVE THE CAR FORWARD BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AGAIN INTO REVERSE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND OCCURS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH AND ONLY WHILE PUTTING THE GEAR IN REVERSE. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT MY VEHICLE RECENTLY FAILED THE CA EMISSIONS TEST. ON 11/23/2021 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BMW OF EL CAJON FOR AN INSPECTION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A PROBLEM WITH THE 4 DIESEL INJECTORS AS FAULTY AND ISSUED A REPAIR ESTIMATE. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH ON YOUR SITE NHTSA.GOV, I FOUND THAT BMW HAD ISSUED A LIMITED EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS OR 120K MILES FOR THE DIESEL INJECTORS BUT ONLY FOR MODEL YEARS 2015-2016, OR PRODUCTION DATE OF 7/2014 TO 6/2016. MY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED ON 08/2013. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY MY VEHICLE'S MODEL YEAR/PRODUCTION DATE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION CONSIDERING THAT IS THE SAME PRODUCTION MODEL (F30), AND ENGINE (N47T) AS THOSE COVERED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND IS HAVING THE SAME DIESEL INJECTORS PROBLEM. FOR REFERENCE BMW'S SIB IS 01 09 19 ISSUED ON 10-11-2019.

ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BAD TIMING CHAIN. THERE IS CURRENTLY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WITH MY EXACT YEAR FOR 328I BUT I AM 328D. FROM MY RESEARCH IT APPEARS THE DIESEL MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED MORE PROBLEMS THAN GAS ENGINES. EUROPE HAS DONE A RECALL WITH DIESEL ENGINES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. WHY NOT IN USA? THIS NEEDS TO BE COVERED AND ADDRESSED. I MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE FLAWLESSLY THE ENTIRE PERIOD. SINCE BMW KNEW OF THIS ISSUE THE WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UP TO 150K MILES. I WAS QUOTED $21,000 FOR NEW ENGINE, WHICH IS $5,000 MORE THAN ITS WORTH BEING VERY GENEROUS WITH VALUE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I ACTUALLY WANTED BUY ANOTHER BMW AS I JUST LISTED VEHICLE FOR SALE DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. IM GLAD I DIDNT SELL MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IM AT A REAL FINANCIAL LOSS HERE. IT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT. BMW WASNT RIGHT TO CONCEAL THIS IN FIRST PLACE. I WOULD HAVE PAID FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. NOW THEY WANT CAPITALIZE ON NEW ENGINE PARTS AND LABOR. THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED. DIESEL VEHICLES MUST BE ADDED TO RECALL.

I HAVE A 2014 328D F31 THREE WEEKS AGO WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED, MY 328D SHIFTED TO P MID TURN, AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. UPON TRYING TO RESTART IT, IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. (THANKFULLY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND GOING AT SLOW SPEED - AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE). WE HAD TO MANUALLY GET IT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO BE ABLE TO PUSH IT INTO A PARKING SPOT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAS FAILED. (THANKFULLY IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE DISINTEGRATED AS SOME OTHERS HAVE REPORTED). ALL OPEN RECALLS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED, AND GREAT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO ENSURE ONLY QUALITY, FRESH DIESEL HAS BEEN PUMPED IN THE CAR. BMW HAS OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS (NOT CHEAP) PART. HOWEVER, IT'S ONLY UP TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES, AND MY VEHICLE IS AT 128,000. I AM INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL THAT NO ONE WAS HURT, INJURED, OR WORSE IN THIS INCIDENT. BUT GIVEN THE HIGH FREQUENCY OF THIS HAPPENING AMONGST OTHER 328D OWNERS, AND THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS (MANY TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE), I WOULD EXPECT THAT BMW WOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND GET THESE PARTS REPLACED BEFORE ANYTHING WORSE HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND SUDDENLY WITH NO PRIOR PERFORMANCE WARNINGS, CODES, OR LIGHTS. IN FACT WHEN RUNNING A FOXWELL SCHWABEN 14020SCH SCANNER, NO CODES ARE BEING RETURNED. AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONCERN OF COURSE IS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT PREVENTABLE WITH TRADITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS. MY GOOGLE RESEARCH SHOWS THE BOSCH FUEL PUMP WAS RECALLED IN OTHER MODELS, BUT THE RECALL EXEMPTED THE DIESEL VARIANTS. I CAN'T IMAGINE AN ITEM PRONE TO FAILURE, THAT'S NOT LISTED ON A REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE LAWSUITS OUT THERE ON THE BOSCH CP4 FUEL PUMPS. (HOWEVER CP4.2 SEEMS TO BE MORE RELIABLE THAN THE CP4.1).

HOOD WILL NOT OPEN DUE TO FAULTY CABLES AND LATCHES. UNABLE TO ACCESS THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO REPLACE FRONT HEADLIGHT BULBS OR REPLACE VEHICLE FUSES

BMW FAILED TO REPAIR THE RECALL WORK ON THE CV JOINT AND TRANSFER CASE. FAILED TO REIMBURSE REPAIR EXPENSES.

WARNING COMES PARKING LIGHT MALFUNCTION AND WARNING REMAINS ON THE DASHBOARD BUT THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THE PARKING LIGHT. IT WORKS JUST FINE. AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER WARNING GOES AWAY. AND AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER WARNING COMES BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED UNKNOWN RED ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER BMW OF RIVERSIDE LOCATED AT 3060 ADAMS ST, RIVERSIDE, CA 92504, (951) 373-5000, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE CONTACT STATED HE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. *LN CONSUMER SAYS THAT THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE MANUFACTURER CREATED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE. *DL

I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OVER THE WEEKEND, THE CAR STOPS ON THE ROAD ABRUPTLY. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND COMES TO A HALT ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR'S DASHBOARD INDICATED A WARNING "CHASSIS STABILIZATION" ERROR. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO PROCEED MAYBE 2 MILES AND THIS TIME, IT STOPPED AT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AGAIN. THIS TIME THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, I WAS REALLY FRIGHTENED SINCE THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME! IT WAS A VERY NARROW MISS! I AM HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A BMW DEALER TO INSPECT IT. I ALSO REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO BMW CONSUMER AFFAIRS, I WAS ASKED TO CONTACT THE DEALER TO CHECK THE VEHICLE OUT.

PROBLEM DISCOVERED UPON INSPECTION FOR RECALL 18V-755 EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLER, AFTER OVER SEVEN MONTHS NO PARTS, NO ACTION. *TR

I HAVE A 2014, 328D X-DRIVE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR A ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES WHEN I START THE CAR. THE EXHAUST FUMES ARE VERY BAD. IF I START IT WITH THE AIR SYSTEM AT OFF I WILL NOT GET IT. THIS IS ONLY AT A STAND STILL AND THE WORST WHEN THE CARS STARTED. THE DEALER HAS DONE OVER $4000 IN REPAIRS AND HAVE REPLACED MANY FUEL INJECTORS. ONE OF THE REPAIRS THE MANIFOLD MELTED TO THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THEY REPLACED ALL. I'M STILL GETTING THE FUMES. VERY DISAPPOINTED BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. THEY ONLY TELL ME TO SEE MY DEALER. THEY SAY THEY WILL START A REPORT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND I'M STUCK WITH A CAR I LIKE VERY MUCH BUT NEED HELP GETTING EXHAUST FROM ENTERING THE CABIN FROM THE ENGINE AREA. *TR

WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, THE POWER TO THE WHEELS IS NOT ENGAGED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE TIRE IS STRAIGHT, THE POWER ENGAGES. THIS ACTION PREVENTS YOU FROM DRIVING NORMALLY. TO DRIVE, YOU HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE WHEEL STRAIGHT. THEN AS YOU INCREASE VELOCITY, YOU MAKE YOUR TURN. CAN BE VERY UNSAFE AS YOU ARE DRIVING IF THIS HAPPENS (BREAKS) ON THE ROAD. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM BMW STATING AN EGR COOLER RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO BELLEVUE BMW AFTER SMELLING DIESEL INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AND HAD ME RENT A VEHICLE WHILE THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT. UPON RETURNING I WAS TOLD THAT MY EGR COOLER DID IN FACT NEED REPLACING. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE FIXING THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THEY HAD A CATCHY LEGAL BLIND TO HIDE BEHIND. ' NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME'. THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THEY COULD OF SOLD ME THE NEW EGR COOLER. BUT THEY CHOSE NOT TO DO THAT EITHER. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISER IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND HE ASSURED ME IT WAS. AS IT TURNS OUT HE LIED TO ME. A SHORT TIME LATER THE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WAS SMOKE AND A BLACK SOOT BELLOWING OUT FROM BEHIND THE CAR AND WHEN I GOT PULLED OFF THE ROAD LARGE AMOUNTS OF THICK BLACK SMOKE BILLOWED OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT AN APPROVED REPAIR FACILITY. 2400.00 LATER THE CAR WAS BACK ON THE ROAD FOR A SHORT TIME. A SHORT WHILE LATER I GOT TO WORK AND NOTICED A LOUD CLICKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO BELLEVUE BMW AND THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THE SHOP WHERE I WAS GETTING MY OIL CHANGES DONE WERE NOT CHANGING MY OIL. THIS DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO MISDIRECT FAULT FROM KNOWINGLY PUTTING ME IN A POSITION TO BE HARMED FROM DECEITFUL BUSINESS PRACTICES AND BLATANT DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY IS TRULY DISTURBING AND WOEFULLY DISAPPOINTING. GLIBLY I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 26000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE YET NOTHING LIKE AN ACTUAL PAPER REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS PRODUCED. ARE THESE PEOPLE JUST MAKING THIS STUFF UP AS THEY GO ALONG? MY HOPE IS THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN READ THIS AND FILE MORE COMPLAINTS. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE LAWSUITS AND CHICANERY I CAN HONESTLY SAY I WOULD NEVER OF BOUGHT THIS CAR. *TR

LOSS OF POWER ASSIST TO BRAKING TWICE WHILE MOVING AT LOW SPEED WHEN APPROACHING A STOP. UNABLE TO BRING VEHICLE TO FULL STOP THE FIRST TIME AS IT WAS A DOWNHILL. SECOND TIME TRAVELING ON A SLIGHT UPGRADE WHICH HELPED BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THEY SAID THAT BRAKE BOOSTER, ONE-WAY LINE, O-RING ETC. NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL CONTAMINATION. WHILE THIS MODEL YEAR IS NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED IN RECALL 10V-446 IT SOUNDS LIKE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. WAS THIS RECALL EXPANDED TO THE F30 PLATFORM? IF NOT SHOULD IT BE?

BLOWER MOTOR WHICH CONTROLS AIR FLOW FOR HEATING AND A/C SYSTEM , THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WIRING AND THE BLOWER MOTOR IS DETERIORATED ,THIS IS LEADING THE BLOWER TO ONLY BLOW HOT AIR AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE A/C IS ON ALSO MIGHT BE OVERHEATING THE CAR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER

SMELLING EXHAUST ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO BMW DEALER THEY SAID MY FUEL INJECTORS WERE LEAKING AND HAVE MELTED TO THE MANIFOLD. I ASKED AND MADE A COMPLAINT WITH BMW AFTER SPENDING $3300. THAEY ALSO MENTIONED THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE EGR COOLER RECALL. I ASKED IF THIS CAUSED MY FUEL INJECTOR MANIFOLD PROBLEM THEY SAY NO. ENGINE LIGHT CAKE ON RECENTLY ALSO SMELLING FUEL AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THEY REPLACED #1 INJECTOR. DROVE IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING FOR A EXHAUST COOLER. I HAVE HAD A LONER FOR A WEEK NOW. ONE I HOPE I WILL NOT GET CHARGED AGAIN. TWO DID THIS CAUSE MY INITIAL PROBLEM I DO NOT KNOW. THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY DIDN'T FIX AND I FEEL IT'S COSTING ME LOTS OF MONEY.

AT AROUND 70K BOTH NOX SENSORS IN MY CAR FAILED. BMW COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I'M WORRIED ABOUT RELIABILITY OF THIS SYSTEM. IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN IN FUTURE AND IF IT HAPPENS AFTER 120K MILES BMW WON'T COVER IT.

SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE TRANSFER CASE WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. LOST OF ALL POWER TO THE WHEELS.

DEF TANKS FROZE IN COLD WEATHER CAUSING MULTIPLE PARTS TO FAIL IN THE ENGINE. DEF SYSTEM I BELIEVE IS NOW COMPROMISED AS A RESULT OF POOR ENGINEERING FOR THE OVERALL SYSTEM. VEHICLE IS PARKED OUTSIDE AND THERE WERE TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW ZERO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERT OGDEN BMW (3201 N 10TH ST, MCALLEN, TX 78501, (956) 467-5663) ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO AN EGR FAILURE AS INDICATED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V755000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,800.

2014 BMW 328. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AS A RESULT OF THE EGR COOLER ISSUE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SET FIRE AND THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE UNAVAILABLE. *JS

I GOT A CEL AND DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS TO THE ACTIVE SCR TANK. AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND OUT A LOT OF BMW VEHICLES HAVE THE ITEM FAIL. THE 328D IS NOT ON THE LIST OF EXTENDED WARRANTIES. ARE THERE MANY 328D'S THAT FAIL?

WHILE PULLING SLOWLY INTO A PARKING LANE IN A RESIDENTIAL PULBIC LOT TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ENTERED INTO A SUDDEN HIGH ACCELERATION WITHOUT ANY DRIVER ADDITONAL INPUT. IT CRASHED ON A TREE AT THE PARKING LOT PERIMETER WITH A MAJOR DAMAGE ON THE VEHICLE FRONT END. IT OCCURRED AT 10:30 AM WITH DRIVER IN GREAT HEALTH CONDITION AND HAD VERY LIMITED TIME TO REACT. NO AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED NOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY OCCURED.

I STARTED MY CAR ON OCTOBER 23, 2019, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE AND WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR WAS SHAKING, I TURNED AROUND AND WHEN BACK HOME, HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO "LACK OF LUBRICATION". I WAS THEN INFORMED IT WOULD COST ME $16,800. WE HAVE 125K MILES ON A DIESEL ENGINE! I WAS TOLD THERE WERE METAL FLAKES IN THE OIL AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT FAILED IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL OF THE REQUIRED SERVICES AND HAD ALL OF THE RECALLS DONE WHICH WERE MANY. WE HAVE THE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED, AFTER THE CAR COMPLETED STALLED AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED, LUCKILY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT. SINCE WE HAVE HAD THE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, WE WERE SOLD A LEMON, AND THE BMW COOPERATE OFFICE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING, AND I WAS INFORMED THEY ONLY WARRANTY THEIR CARS TO 50K. NOW I AM OUT A CAR THAT I PAID 50K FOR 5 YEARS AGO. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS REGARDING THE ENGINE, AND WHEN OIL WAS CHECKED ALL LEVELS WERE GOOD.

MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS AN EGR PROBLEM BUT FOR SOME REASON ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL... SOMETIMES MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN! LIKE AT ALL! I WILL HAVE TO HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I CAN OPEN THE DOOR. MY DEF WAS FILLED WITH THE CORRECT FLUID AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME ABOUT 1K MILES AGO. SUDDENLY AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A LIGHT APPEARED THAT SAYS INCORRECT FLUID ADDED NO START AFTER XXX MILES. NOW VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER START. AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE CONNECTED TO NOX SENSOR. TAKING TO SHOP HOPEFULLY COVERED SINCE NOX SENSOR WAS JUST REPLACED FROM A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V755000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT CALLED BMW OF STRATHAM AT 603-772-0000 (LOCATED AT 71 PORTSMOUTH AVE, STRATHAM, NH 03885) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

VEHICLE CRUISING AT 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT WITH NO WARNING. IT SIMPLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND CUT THE ENGINE, RENDERING THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL SINCE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING WERE NOT WORKING. THE CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING ON A CITY SURFACE STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45MPH. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IMPLODED, SENDING METAL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. AGAIN THERE WAS NO WARNING AND BRAKING/STEERING WERE AFFECTED.

I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN DECEMBER OF 2018 ACCORDING TO THE NOTICE IT CAN CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER FOR BMW THEY STATED THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT YET BUT SAID THAT THERE IS NO DANGER IN DRIVING THIS CAR I DID NOT ACCEPT THIS SO THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO KEPT MY CAR FOR TWO DAYS TO TELL ME THEY HAD NO IDEA ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR OR WHAT THEY COULD DO. NOW I HAVE A CAR I DON'T BELIEVE IS SAFE.

IT'S UNDER RECALL AND THEY CALLED ME ONCE AND SAID PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND IT'S BEEN 8 MONTH SINCE RECALL AND ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED

DRIVING STRAIGHT ON FLAMINGO ROAD AT 45 MPH IN SUNRISE FL AND EXPERIENCED MAJOR POWER LOSS IN DRIVING POWER WITH NO TRANSMISSION CONTROL. PULLED ON THE SIDE AND ABLE TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY 10 MPH. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER. TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED. SUCH COMPONENT FAILURES SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 58,000 MILES. I WAS GIVEN A REASON OF PREMATURE COMPONENT FAILURE/MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM THE DEALER. AFTER THE REPAIR, A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT OCCURRED ON THE EFFICIENCY INDICATORS THAT PROVES TO THE FACT THAT I HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAD DETERIORATING CONDITIONS. THERE MAY IMPACT ON OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME CATEGORY THAT COULD POINT TO A RECALL. MAJOR COSTS INCURRED FROM TOWING AND REPAIRS THAT WERE OUT THE WARRANTY THAT EXPIRED IN DEC 2014.DEALER DECLINED TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS. A COMPLAINT WAS ALSO WAS SUBMITTED TO THE MANUFACTURER CORP OFFICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE RADIATOR FLUID INDICATOR WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIELDS BMW SOUTH ORLANDO (9750 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32837, (407) 956-6300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER,THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V755000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V755000 (ENGINE, ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. WINSLOW BMW OF COLORADO SPRINGS (5845 N NEVADA AVE, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80918, (719) 387-9650) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

I LOST DRIVE FUCTIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 BMW 328D XDRIVE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AS IF I HIT SOMETHING. MY DISPLAY SHOWED DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION AND PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. I NARROWLY MISSED GETTING T-BONED BY ON-COMING TRAFFIC. I MANAGED TO LET IT ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMEDIATELY AFTER THE TURN. I COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THE MAIN CAUSE WAS THE TRANSFER CASE. THE REAR DRIVE LINE LOST IT FUCTION TURNING THE CAR FROM AWD TO FWD AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND ISSUE THAT BMW MUST ADDRESS. I NARROWLY ESCAPED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IF THE ONCOMING CARS DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR IF I TOOK THE TURN 1 SECOND LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY CAR BEGAN TO SMOKE AND MAKE A HISSING NOISE ABOUT 1 BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE. I MADE IT HOME AND NOTICED THE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I IMEDIATELY SPRAYED SOME WATER ON IT JUST INCASE THERE WAS A FIRE. THERE WAS ALSO A SMELL OF BURNIN PLASTIC. I OBSERVED THE CAR FOR A FEW HOURS AND WAITED FOR IT TO COOL DOWN. WHEN LOOKING AT THE ENGINE I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A MELTED HOLE IN MY INTAKE MANIFOLD. AND MY MAP SENSOR HAD MELTED. WHILE RESEARCHING THE CAUSE I NOTICED THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY THE EGR VALVE. I SEARCHED BMW NORTH AMERICE RECALL SITE AND PUT IN MY VIN#. IT DID NOT SHOW A RECALL FOR THE EGR VALVE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL NUMBER OF 18V755000 EGR VALVE IDENTIFYING THE 2014 BMW 328D. I CALLED BMW NORTH AMERICA AND SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT MY ISSUE AND IT DID NOT SHOW MY CAR HAVING ANY RECALLS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DISCONNECT IF THE VIN I PROVIDED TO BMW NORTH AMERICA AND NHTSA DOES NOT SHOW ANY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V755000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER RECALL: CONTACTED BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS AS PER RECALL LETTER FROM BMW OF N.A. VIA EMAIL AND THEY LEFT A VOICE MAIL THAT PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE. RECALL STATUS ALSO HAS BEEN STATING - "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". RECALL WAS MADE IN OCT 25, 2018 AND IT IS NEARING 6 MONTHS BUT NO SOLUTION OR REPAIR PROCESS HAS BEEN INITIATED. LETTER STATES POSSIBILITY OF INCREASED RISK OF FIRE COULD OCCUR IF ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS SMALL HOLES DUE TO FAILURE OF EGR. KINDLY PLEASE HELP WITH THIS UNTIMELY AND UNREASONABLE TIME PERIOD OF REPAIR LINGERING WITHOUT ANY SAFETY FOR THE DRIVER OF THIS CAR. CURRENTLY NO PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BUT FEELING OF DRIVING ON BORROWED LUCK AND TIME IS NOT A SAFE ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V755000 (ENGINE, ENGINE COOLING) WAS RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER OF 2018. AFTER CONTACTING THE LOCAL DEALER (BMW OF MOUNTAIN VIEW, 150 E.

CAR HAS GONE THRU NUMEROUS SERVICE CALLS FOR COOLANT LEAK, PRESSURE TESTING & BURNT OIL SMELL & VAPOR FUME COMING INSIDE THE CAB WHEN ENGINE REACHES THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE!! MAKES THE CAR NOT DRIVABLE!! AFTER OIL FILTER HOUSING, CYLINDER COVER & GASKET CHANGE, THERE IS STILL A VISIBLE BURNT OIL SMOKE COMING FROM REAR & SIDES OF THE ENGINE AREA, BEST SEEN UNDER A FLASH LIGHT AFTER DUSK! THIS IS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JUNE 2018 & PRESENTLY CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR AGAIN!!

THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLER IS NOT WORKING. WHEN I DRIVE IT, IT BEGINS TO OVERHEAT AND EACH TIME I ADD COOLANT THROUGHOUT THE DAY, IT LEAKS OR BURNS OUT RAPIDLY.

CARBON MONOXIDE INSIDE THE CAR IS WAY TOO HIGH WITH THE EGR COOLER LEAKING ISSUE NOT BEING FIXED YET. IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS NOW AND THE AIR QUALITY INSIDE THE CAR IS SOO BAD THAT I AM GETTING HEADACHE FROM THE SOOT AND CO GAS COMING OUT OF AC VENT. I DID A SERVICE TODAY AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE MICROFILTER AND ANOTHER FILTER, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THE DEGRADED AIR QUALITY CONTAINS HAZARDOUS GAS AND CAN CAUSE DIZZINESS WHICH COULD LEAD TO FATAL ACCIDENTS AT HIGHER SPEED. I KINDLY REQUEST THAT BMW REPURCHASE THIS VEHICLE FROM ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BEFORE I COULD GET INTO ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT. THE EGR COOLER ISSUE COULD ALSO LEAD TO CAR FIRE (WHICH IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN.) THANK YOU. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER DATED DECEMBER 2018 STATING THAT MY CAR IS BEING RECALLED FOR THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLER. IT STATES THAT THE EGR COOLER COULD DEVELOP AN INTERNAL LEAK. THE COOLING FLUID COULD MIX WITH THE DIESEL ENGINE SOOT & MAY RESULT IN SMOLDERING PARTICLES. THE PARTICLES COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CREATE SMALL HOLES INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE. THE LETTER STATES THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE YET. I CALLED BMW CORPORATE ON 1/3/19 AFTER I RECEIVED THE LETTER & THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY RECOMMENDED I CALL AROUND TO DIFFERENT BMW DEALERS & SEE IF THEY HAVE A PLAN PUT IN PLACE FOR THIS RECALL. THEY SAID SINCE THE DEALERS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED, THEY CANT MAKE THEM DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE RECALL. I CALLED FREEHOLD BMW & EDISON BMW & THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE & THAT I NEED TO WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE. I TRAVEL 45-60 MINS EACH WAY BACK & FORTH TO WORK ON THE NJ TURNPIKE SO SINCE RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER, I'VE BEEN TAKING MY WIFE'S CAR, WHICH IS A LEASE, IN FEAR OF MY CAR CATCHING FIRE. I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT NEITHER MYSELF NOR MY WIFE FEEL SAFE DRIVING & I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR. I'M FORCED TO LEAVE MY PREGNANT WIFE & OUR 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HOME WITHOUT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I CALLED THE NHTSA ON 1/3/19 & SPOKE TO BEAU. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. HE TOOK DOWN ALL OF THE INFORMATION & GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER. REF# 159562. HE ADVISED THAT IF BMW DOESN'T OFFER ME A RESOLUTION IN A TIMELY MANNER, TO FILE A COMPLAINT. ALTHOUGH I RECEIVED THE LETTER IN DECEMBER 2018, WHEN I CHECKED THE WEBSITE PROVIDED ON THE LETTER (SAFERCAR.GOV), THE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON OCTOBER 25, 2018. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT MY NEXT STEP TO RESOLVING THIS MATTER SHOULD BE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

EGR VALVE ON 2014 328D BMW : ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE ON REPEATEDLY AFTER EACH ENGINE REPAIR. REPORTED ENGINE COOLANT HAD TO BE REFILLED BEFORE FIRST REPAIR. FIRST REPAIR CONSISTED OF 2 SENSORS FOR NOX AND 1 FILTERED AIR PIPE. ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN AND FOUND HOLE IN MELTED INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH WAS REPLACED. ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED AGAIN. OWNER SUSPECTS EGR COOLER LEAKING INTERNALLY MIXING WITH DIESEL ENGINE SOOT. TOLD THIS TO SERVICE TECH AT BMW OF OCALA AND REPORTED ALSO TO BMW OF NORTH AMERICA. LOOKING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR PAST FAULTY ENGINE REPAIRS AND ASKING FOR RECALL ON VEHICLE FOR THIS ENGINE FAILURE WITH POTENTIAL FOR DEATH AND FIRE HAZARDS. ENGINE FAULT ON SCREEN MESSAGE SAID" DRIVE MODERATELY. MAXIMUM DRIVE TRAIN OUTPUT NOT AVAILABLE. CONSULT SERVICE CENTER"( WHICH I DID AND STILL HAS NOT FIXED IT PROPERLY).

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH OR SO THE VEHICLE'S ON-BOARD MESSAGE CENTER READ "DRIVE-TRAIN MALFUNCTION". I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS LOOSING MOMENTUM QUITE QUICKLY WHICH REQUIRED ME TO SWIFTLY, BUT SAFELY TO PULL OVER TO THE ROADWAY EDGE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE ISSUE HAS PRESENTED ITSELF. THE FIRST TIME WAS A FEW MONTHS FROM PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE FUEL LINES. THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM AND SENT ME OFF. A FEW MONTHS LATER I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE I.E. OIL CHANGE, INSPECTION, ETC. WHILE INSPECTING MY CAR THEY AGAIN FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE FUEL LINES. THEY AGAIN REPLACED THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. JUST THIS WEEKEND SEPTEMBER 30, 2018, I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY AND AGAIN THE CAR WENT LIMP. NO POWER, LIMITED STEERING CONTROL, NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR. ESSENTIALLY A CATASTROPHIC EVENT BECAUSE WITHOUT POWER A VEHICLE IS A ROLLING PROJECTILE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN HAS METAL SHAVINGS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. TOTAL COUNT FOR REPLACING FUEL SYSTEM (3).

EGR VALVE LOCKED OPEN, AS SEDIMENT ACCUMULATED IN THE VACUUM LINE FROM THE LEAKING OF ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE VALVE. MANIFOLD DEVELOPED HOLES, AS THE EGR OVERHEATED DUE THE VALVE LOCKING OPEN. THE SMELL OF ANTI-FREEZE AND DIESEL FILLED THE CAR AS SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE ENGINE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. HAD TO HAVE THE MANIFOLD REPLACED, AS THE MANIFOLD HAD FOUR HOLES IN IT, AND THE EGR VALVE VACUUM LINE HAD TO BE CLEARED. REPORTED THE ISSUE TO KUNI BMW, WHO NEVER REPORTED THE ISSUE AND WARNED ME TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR IN THE CONDITION THAT IT WAS IN BEFORE THE REPAIR. KUNI ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF AN EGR VALVE ISSUE AND ANTI-FREEZE CAUSING SEDIMENT TO PLUG THE VACUUM LINE. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT BMW HAS HAD TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2015-2017 MODELS IN EUROPE AND S. KOREA. KUNI BMW KNEW OF THE RECALLS IN S. KOREA AND EUROPE WHEN THEY TALKED TO ME. I AM REPORTING THIS TO NTSB, AS BMW NA TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ONLY MADE A INFORMAL REPORT TO NTSB, AND THEY FELT IT WAS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE. MY CAR ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNED, WHILE MY PREGNANT WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE RIDING WITH ME, BUT KUNI REFUSED TO REPORT IT AND BMW DIDN'T CONSIDER IT A BIG ISSUE. SAD. BAVARIAN AUTOWORKS IN VANCOUVER, WA DID THE REPAIR WORK. RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2014 MODELS. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE LOCAL NEWS ANCHOR ON FOX 12, AS SHE ALSO HAS A 2014 BMW DIESEL.

WE WERE DRIVING OUR BMW 328D XDRIVE WAGON AND ACCELERATING STRAIGHT TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE WHEN THERE WAS LOSS OF ALL DRIVE POWER AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV HIGH. NO ERROR MESSAGES ACTIVATED. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO DRIFT OUT OFF TRAFFIC AS NO OTHER CARS WERE COMING CLOSE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND DETERMINED TO BE DEFECTIVE TRANSFER CASE.

WHILE DRIVING, MESSAGE DISPLAYED "DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION, DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY" CAR LOST POWER, BUT I MADE IT TO SHOULDER. WHILE CALLING FOR HELP, I NOTICED THICK GREY SMOKE FILLING THE CAR. I EXITED VEHICLE THEN NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. CAR COMPLETELY BURNED

THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. ON JUNE 29TH, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 4:00 PM I WAS STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WAITIN FOR AN ON COMING CAR TO PASS SO I COULD MAKE A LEFT TURN. AS SOON AS I STARTED TO GO I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION/LOINS GUN SHOT COMING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS EXTREMELY STARTLED, I AM LITERALLY SHAKING NOW JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW SCARY THIS WAS. IT ONLY TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO REALIZE THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERING ABOVE ME. I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ADVISE THEM WHAT HAD HAPPED AND SCHEDULE A REPAIR. I TOLD THEM THIS IS DEFECTIVE SUNROOF AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. HE COULDN'T CONFIRM THIS FOR ME I ASKED FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME BACK TO CONFIRM, NO ONE CALLED BACK BUT I WAS LATER IN THE DAY ON A FRIDAY. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND I SEE THIS TYPE DO INCIDENT IS A PROBLEM. JUST THE FACT THAT YOU CAN BE STARTLED TO THAT EXTENT WHILE DRIVING IS QUITE DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS. ONE VERY IMPORTANT FACT IS THE FORCE FROM THE EXPLOSION CAME FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AS YOU CAN SEE THE GLASS IS FORCED UP. THANK YOU

ERROR: PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE: MALFUNCTION. CONTINUE WEARING SAFETY BELT. CONSULT NEAREST SERVICE CENTER. THIS IS OCCURRING CONSISTENTLY. BMW IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE HAD REPAIRED IT TWICE BUT DONT KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THEY DID. I DID NOT SEE ERROR FOR A WEEK OR SO AFTER REPAIRS BUT AGAIN SAW IT. I HAVE READ AND HEARD THAT THERE ARE LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR BMWS.

MARCH 6, 2018, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AS I MERGED FROM 101 TO 405 S IN LOS ANGELES. MESSAGE INDICATED A DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEM AND TO "DRIVE MODERATELY". CAR STOPPED AND WOULD NOT RESTART SECONDS LATER. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, WAS REAR ENDED AT A DEAD STOP. BMW SANTA MONICA FOUND METALS SHAVINGS IN FUEL LINE AND REPLACED FUEL SYSTEM; MY CAR ALSO HAD $13,000 OF BODY DAMAGE. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM - BMW SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE CAR TO FIX THE FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE I HAD AN ACCIDENT. NOW MY CAR IS DEVALUED AND I DO NOT HAVE SAME LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING IT.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER SUDDENLY/ ABRUPTLY STOPPED ON A BUSY CITY STREET. THE VEHICLE ALMOST GET SLAMMED INTO BY OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND IT. THIS WAS POTENTIALLY A CAUSE FOR A FATAL ACCIDENT. BMW DEALERSHIP INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE WAS THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP. VEHICLE IS AT 39,900 MILES, & IS COVER BY BMW CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY.

WHILE ACCELERATING MY 2014 BMW 328D I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND THE CAR HIT THE BRAKES SO HARD THAT THE SEAT BELT PINNED ME AGAINST THE SEAT AND MY CHEST HURT AFTER THAT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. I CALLED BMW ROADSIDE AND THE POLICE TO ASSIST WITH TRAFFIC SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WAS LATE EVENING AND RAINING ALSO. THE POLICE OFFICER TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR BUT THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED AND WAS UNABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR MOVE. WHILE GETTING OUT OF CAR HE TELLS ME THAT I AM LUCKY IN HIS OWN WORDS "ON THIS WEATHER ON THE FREEWAY YOU WOULD'VE BEEN DEAD BY NOW". ALSO THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD THE SAME LINE AS THE OFFICER AND HE DRAGGED THE CAR ON THE BED SINCE THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND BMW DIAGNOSED IT AS "FUEL PUMP BLEW UP INTERNALLY AND DISTRIBUTED METAL SHAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM AND THROUGH INJECTORS." 4 INJECTORS NEED REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH THE FUEL RAIL, THE FUEL PUMP AND REPAIRS MADE TOT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM INCLUDING THE TANK. BMW WILL COVER EVERYTHING SINCE THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY ( I AM AT 45 K MILES)! MOST TRAUMATIZING EXPERIENCE OF MY 40 YEARS LIFE IN A 50K+ CAR! BMW NEVER WARNED ME OF POSSIBLE FUEL PUMP FAILURE PROBLEM WITH THEIR DIESEL CARS AND NO CAR SHOULD PIN YOU WITH THE SEAT BELT AGAINST THE SEAT UNLESS IT'S AN ACCIDENT!

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON NOVEMBER 16TH AND WAS WITHIN A COUPLE MILES OF MY HOUSE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND A WHIRRING SOUND COMING FROM MY CAR. THERE WAS AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT POPPED UP STATING DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION, DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY.' THE CAR BECAME VERY JERKY AND I DROVE SLOWLY. I WAS FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY, BUT THEN MY CAR COMPLETELY FAILED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THE TRANSFER CASE HAD FAILED. THANKFULLY I WASN'T INJURED IN A CAR WRECK WHEN THE IT FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 46,500 MILES AND WAS COMPLETELY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS FORTUNATE TO GET HOME, BUT A COMPLETE FAILURE COULD HAVE LED TO BEING STRANDED OR WORSE, AN ACCIDENT.

11.3.17 CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING. TOTAL LOSS. CAR LOST POWER. MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED "DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION, DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY" PULLED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY, CAR WAS ENGULPHED IN FLAMES WITHIN 5 MINUTES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON OCT. 22, 2017 MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DISPLAYING AN ERROR SAYING "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION". THE CAR WENT FROM GOING 60MPH TO A DEAD STOP. I WAS STRANDED IN THE ROAD WHILE CARS WERE ZIPPING PAST ME AT LEAST 60MPH. I WAS IN SOME SERIOUS DANGER IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FAST RESPONSE OF THE TOW TRUCK TO GET ME OUT OF THERE (THE POLICE WERE CALLED AS WELL TO DO TRAFFIC CONTROL BUT THE TOW TRUCK SHOWED UP BEFORE THEY EVEN GOT THERE). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BMW DEALER. THEY RAN SOME TESTS AND TOLD ME IT WAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMP BROKE INTERNALLY AND DISTRIBUTED METAL SHAVINGS THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM AND THROUGH MY INJECTORS. ALL 4 INJECTORS NEED REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FUEL RAIL AND THE FUEL PUMP AND REPAIRS MADE TOT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. MY CAR IS ONLY AT 66K MILES. I DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM WAS RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM TO HAVE. AFTER LOOKING, I SAW THAT A RECALL WAS SENT OUT FOR ALL BMW MODELS EXCEPT FOR THE 328D(DIESEL). WHY IS THAT? HOW DO YOU CLAIM SOMETHING IS UNSAFE ON A CAR USING THE SAME PARTS THAT JUST GOT RECALLED BUT EXCLUDED THE DIESEL MODEL. I HAVE READ SOMETHING STATING THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINT TOWARDS THE DIESEL MODEL BUT THE 328D WAS NOT PRODUCED NEARLY AS MUCH AS SAY THE 328I, SO OBVIOUSLY IT WILL HAVE FEWER COMPLAINTS. I CAN SEE RIGHT NOW 5 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE I AM HAVING THAT SAYS OTHERWISE. NOW I AM PAYING UPWARDS OF $16,000 DOLLARS DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS DOESN'T SEEM ETHICALLY CORRECT ON ANYONE'S END. HOW IS THERE NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM? WE ARE GOING TO LET PEOPLE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE AN RISK A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAS SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS WHEN ALL OTHER MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM INCLUDING FUEL PUMPS, FUEL LINES, TANK ETC. STALL OCCURRED ON BUSY STREET WHICH WAS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN ACCIDENT / INJURY / DEATH. MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. TOOK CAR TO CREVIER BMW AND DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THE INCIDENT. 2014 2 SERIES, 3 SERIES, AND 4 SERIES ALL HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE DIESEL MODEL APPEARS TO BE THE ONLY ONE NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL AND CLEARLY IS DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH AND SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO STEVE THOMAS BMW INC (411 E DAILY DR, CAMARILLO, CA 93010 (805) 482-8878) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND RELEASED METAL SHAVINGS INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM AND ENGINE. THE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V189000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

2 OF 4 INJECTORS HAVE FAILED AT OR BEFORE 40000 MILES I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL PUMP, THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE GAS MODELS CHECK ENG.LIGHT CAME ON FUEL MILEAGE DROPED BY 35% DID NOT DRIVE ANYMORE TILL INJECTOR WAS REPLACED

AT 55K MILES IN APRIL 2017, IN FAST LANE OF FREEWAY, DRIVE-TRAIN MALFUNCTION MESSAGE DISPLAYED WITH SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS. CAR LOST POWER AS I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO CHANGE MULTIPLE LANES TO SHOULDER AS CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER. BMW SOS DID NOT FUNCTION. IT TOOK 3 TOW DRIVERS AND 3 HOURS TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE SYSTEM TO GET CAR IN NEUTRAL TO SAFELY PUT ON TRUCK. BMW ADVISED THEY WOULD HAVE TO JACK CAR AND REMOVE TRANSMISSION PANEL TO MANUALLY PUT IN 'DRIVE' WHICH WAS NOT AN OPTION ON THE NARROW SHOULDER OF I-10 IN CA. DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND 'EXPLODED' SENDING METAL PARTICLES THROUGH ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. DEALER ADVISED OVER $10K IN PARTS HOWEVER BMW COVERED UNDER THE 'CA EMISSIONS WARRANTY.' ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED (TANK, LINES, INJECTORS AND PUMP). UNSURE IF IT IS RELATED TO THE ULTIMATE FAILURE OF THE PUMP BUT ALL INJECTORS FAILED AND REPLACED IN 2016. 42,162 MI / SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 ENGINE LIGHT -FAULTY CYL 3FUEL INJECTOR FAULT CODE 24BD00 'REPLACED #3 44,495 MI / OCTOBER 13, 2016 ENGINE LIGHT-FAULT CODE 24C000 - REPLACED INJECTORS 1 AND 2 & 4

GOING ABOUT 60MPH, MY CAR COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN. POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION LOSS OF POWER FLASH ON THE SCREEN. IVE HAD THE CAR FOR 20 DAYS, AND AT 52000 MILES. 2000 OVER MY WARRANTY. BMW IS AUOTIBG NE $5,000 TO FIX THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND SYSTEM, FUEL RAIL SENSOR, AND FUEL RAIL PRESSURE VALVE WHICH ALL ULTIMATELY WORK TOGETHER. BUT BMW HAS ALREADY RECALLED ALL OTHER 2014 328 MODELS FOR THE EXACT SAME FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS IM HAVING EXCEPT THE 328D MODEL WAS THE ONLY ONE LEFT OUT????! BMW MAKES VERY FEW OF THESE MODELS TO BEGIN WITH, SO NATURALLY THERE ARENT GOING TO VE AS MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE 328D IF THERE ARE FEWER PRODUCED. ITS COMMON SENSE. LOOKING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS ON SAFECAR.GOV 98% OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THE CAR ULTIMATELY COME TO SOME SORT OF FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND TOTAL SHUT DOWN. AT 60 MPH AND 2 BABIES IN MY BACK SEAT IT WAS MORE THAN SCARY. IM DISGUSTED WITH BMW LEAVING OUT AND NOT RECALLING THE 328D WHEN THEY DID ALL THE OTHERS. I MEAN WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET SOME ANSWERS AROUND HERE ON THIS WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE UPON MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS?? I MEAN I GOT ON MY PHONE IMMEDIATELY AND DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOS EVEN CAME ON MY SPEAKERS JUST OFF OF THE TERRIBLE REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS PEOPLE ARE SAYING OFF THE INTERNET ALONE! THE BMW SERVICE CENTER ALSO TOLD ME ALL OF THAT EXACT YEAR AND MODEL THAT THEY HAVE HAD IN THERE LATELY HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE!! THIS IS A COST I CANNOT EVEN AFFORD AT THE MOMENT, ESPECIALLY FOR A VEHICLE 2000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. AND IS BASICALLY A BRAND NEW CAR AND TO ALREADY BE FAULTY?? I'M AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT AGAIN ONCE IT DOES GET FIXED, BEING THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THE PARTS THAT JUST FAILED!! WITH THE EXACT SAME PARTS?!!! WHAT TO JUST FAIL AGAIN, AND TAKE THE CHANCE OF NEXT TIME ON A BUSY ROAD WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN,ACTUALLY HAVING A COLLISON WITH A VEHICLE INSTEAD?!

ALL 3 SERIES FROM 2014 WERE RECALLED BY BMW EXCEPT DIESELS. MY CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD 328 DIESEL AND THE FUEL PUMP DISINTEGRATED CAUSING ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM TO BE CONTAMINATED WITH NICKEL SHAVINGS. THE RECALLED GAS BMWS FROM 2014 EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS SO CLEARLY MY CAR HAS THE SAME FAULTY FUEL PUMP WITH IMPROPER NICKEL PLATING INSTALLED, AND SHOULD ALSO BE UNDER THIS RECALL. SINCE I COMMUTE (HENCE DIESEL) A LOT AND MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY DESPITE THE FACT IS 3 YEARS OLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUTRAGEOUS $13,000 TO RESURRECT IT. IN FACT I ALMOST DIED WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED WITH THE INFAMOUS "POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION" MESSAGE. I HAD A HARD TIME PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR, JUST LIKE ANY 2014 GASOLINE VERSIONS, SHOULD BE UNDER THE SAME BMW RECALL AND THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE COMPANY FOR FREE, NOT A THIRD OF THE PRICE OF THE CAR! I HAVE PICTURES OF FUEL TANK FULL OF NICKEL PARTICLES, AND THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF. THEY ARE MADE BY BOSH NOT BMW AND CLEARLY NOT DONE PROPERLY. THE NEW PUMP IS DIFFERENT NOW SO BMW FIXED IT, YET THEY DON'T ADMIT THEY EVEN CHANGED THIS PART. IF THEY NOTIFIED THEIR COSTUMERS, I'D JUST REPLACED THE PUMP FOR $1250, NOT AN ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM FOR SUCH ENORMOUS PRICE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SUCH FAULTY CARS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED FOR SALE IN US. IF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP DESTROYS ITSELF AND THE ENTIRE FUELS SYSTEM INCLUDING LOW PRESSURE PUMP AND EVEN A FUEL TANK, THIS IS CLEARLY A BADLY DESIGN CAR. I HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS JUST AFTER 1.5 YEARS OF USING THE CAR (I PURCHASED BRAND NEW) BECAUSE OF A SLOW PILLING NICKEL SHAVINGS. I HAVE THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND ALREADY PAID OVER $10,000 FOR MAINTENANCE! THIS HAPPENED IN THE CITY DRIVING AROUND A ROUNDABOUT AT NIGHT AND CAR WAS IN MOTION.

READ DOCUMENT BELOW.

THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOW AND NO ONE REAR ENDED THE CAR. THE COPS WERE THERE MOMENTARILY AND HELP GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. THERE IS NO POLICE REPORT AS NO ACCIDENT RESULTED FROM THE INCIDENT. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. A TWO YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 24000 MILES ON THE CLOCK SHOULD NOT PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION LIKE THIS ONE. THERE MUST BE A MAJOR DESIGN ISSUE WITH SOME COMPONENT THAT BMW HAS BEEN IGNORING TO ADDRESS FOR YEARS GOING BACK TO 2007. BY THE WAY THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE STALL HAPPENED ON THIS CAR. ALMOST A YEAR OR SO AGO THE ENGINE DIED JUST AFTER I LEFT MY HOME TO WORK. THE CAR WAS FIXED BY BMW UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER SENSORS. THAT WAS ODD TO HAPPEN PREMATURELY. *TR

UNSAFE HEADLIGHTS NOT ABLE TO SEE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND INPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE HEADLIGHT BULBS AND HIGHBEAM BULBS WITHOUT SPECIAL TOOLS AND OR DANMADE TO HANDS. NON TECHNICAL PERSONAL IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE OR GET CHANGED. LIGHT OUT PUT IS DANGER THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT

VEHICLE HAS ON 4 SEPARATE OCCURRENCES STALLED/FAILED TO ACCELERATE. "DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION" ERROR CODE IS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE HAD 11564 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE FAULTS WERE CLEARED, BUT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, 6 MONTHS AND 9000 MILES LATER, A SENSOR WAS REPLACED, FAULTS CLEARED, NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN. THE THIRD TIME, SIX WEEKS LATER, A FUEL QUANTITY CONTROL VALVE WAS REPLACED. THE CAR HAS JUST BEEN TOWED FOR A FOURTH TIME. ON 3 OF THE 4 OCCURRENCES, THE CAR WAS ON A HIGHWAY OR BUSY STREET, AT ONE TIME TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. THE LAST TIME WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON A DOWNTOWN CITY BLOCK, STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION AT LOW SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND PIECES OF GLASS FELL DOWN.

ABRASION OF WIRE LEADING TO LEFT REAR ABS WHEEL SENSOR CAUSING FAILURE OF ABS AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL. CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS MISDIAGNOSED BY DEALER.

I PULLED SLOWLY INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE GAS STATION. I STOPPED AND I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I WAS PRESSING THE PARK BUTTON WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD, ACCELERATED OVER THE CURB AND INTO THE OUTSIDE WALL OF THE STORE. THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS ENOUGH TO RENDER IT UNDRIVEABLE AND THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING. THANK GOODNESS, NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS RESPONDED. *TR

ON OCTOBER 26, 2014 AT APPROX. 5:00 PM EST, MY WIFE HAD PULLED OUR CAR, LISTED ABOVE, INTO OUR NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY AFTER A SMALL TRIP. AS SOON AS SHE PARKED THE CAR, SHE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE BMW. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD AND COMPLETELY ENGULFED THE FRONT END, MELTED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DESTROYED OUR CAR AND NEIGHBORS GARAGE SIDING AND DRIVEWAY. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW BMW PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2014. *TR

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. I ENTERED A SPACE TO PARK, PRESSING BRAKES. THE CAR DID NOT STOP AND HIT A CEMENT BARRIER. I WAS UNINJURED BUT IT CAUSED NEARLY $6,000 WORTH OF VEHICLE DAMAGE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR SAME YEAR 328I'S. ALLSTATE REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 328D'S. WOULD NOT THESE TWO VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM? I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *JS
