"ENGINE FAILURE" SIGN COMES ON MY 2007 BMW 335XI AND THE ENGINE POWER SIGNIFICANTLY CUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 3 TIMES. THE 1ST AND 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY, THE SIGN COMES ON AND I LOST SIGNIFICANT ENGINE POWER, HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT LANES, AS I HAD TO DROP MY SPEED IMMEDIATELY FROM 70MPH TO 55 OR LOWER. THEN I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED THE CAR. SOMETIMES THAT WORKED AND MY ENGINE GOT FULL POWER, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T AND I HAVE TO DRIVE W…

Fuel injectors and high pressure fuel pump. I believe there was a recall for the 335i model not the 335xi. These are the same exact engines and were produced at the same exact time with the same exact parts. BMW created index 1 injectors and has since remanufactured to what today is now called an index 12 injector. I believe my model is well over due to qualify for this recall because old injectors can cause a fire WHILE DRIVING. Fuel leaks around electrical spark plugs and bmw knows this but they only recalled for the RWD model which is ridicu…

I OWN A BMW 2008 335 XI AND HAVE HAD THREE FUEL PUMPS AND PISTONS CHANGED ON IT. THE TIME BEFORE TODAY, THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTIONED AND PISTONS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE GAS WAS BURNING AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE RIGHT TAIL PIPE. TODAY IT WAS TOWED FOR THE FOURTH FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT AND BURNING GAS SMOKE WAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE RIGHT TAIL PIPE WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. IN EVERY INSTANCE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WILL STOP IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED IN THE CITY BECAUSE I FREQUENT THE NJ TURNPIKE AND …

Owner report 10268585 · 2009-05-13 (May 13, 2009)
ON SUNDAY MAY 10, 2009, I WAS DRIVING MY BMW 335 WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE CAR SHAKING AND BREAKING DOWN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE BMW DEALERSHIP TO BE NOTIFIED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND IT WAS BECAUSE I USED 15% ETHANOL GAS. THIS IS ABSURD AS I HAVE BEEN USING THE GAS RECOMMENDED BY BMW AND I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT, ALL GAS IN NEW YORK STATE CONTAINS THE LEGAL 10% ETHANOL SO I DON'T SEE HOW ANY CONSUMER COULD KNOW IF THE ETHANOL PERCENTAGE IS HIGHER THAN WHAT THEY ARE PUTTING IN. THE HPFP IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN MANY 335 MO…

I FEEL THIS SITUATION WARRANTS YOUR IMMEDIATE REVIEW FOR A POSSIBLE FORCED RECALL. MY 2008 BMW 335XI BEGAN HAVING SPORADIC PROBLEMS IN SEPTEMBER 2009. BECAUSE OF MY DISTANCE TO A DEALERSHIP AND LONG TIME BETWEEN PROBLEMS I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. BY DECEMBER THE PROBLEMS BECAME MORE SEVERE AND FREQUENT. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD BECOME ILLUMINATED, THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER POWER AND THE CAR WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD FIRST TAKEN THE CAR TO A BMW DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON JAN 2, 2009 …
