Owner report 10730550 · 2015-06-26 (June 26, 2015)
ON TWO OCCASIONS, JANUARY 2015 AND MAY 2015 MY 435I STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE FIRST TIME I WAS CROSSING A VERY BUSY 3 LANE NORTHBOUND ROAD TO GET TO THE LEFT TURN LANE WHEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR JUST STOPPED. THEY WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON DASH. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT HIT AS I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRAKE, TO INDICATE TO DRIVERS BEHIND ME THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN. THE LIGHTS, CHASSIS STABILIZATION AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION CAME ON THE DASH. TWO PRETTY SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITHOUT ANY …

I WAS DRIVING IN A CITY RESIDENTIAL AREA, GOING ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE CAR STOPPED AFTER SPUTTERING A COUPLE OF TIMES. NO WARNING AT ALL BUT THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON THE DASH, "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION". I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, A GRASSY AREA JUST BARELY OFF THE PAVED ROAD. IT WAS LOCATED ON A CURVE. AT THE TIME, THERE WAS A THUNDERSTORM WITH LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAIN. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT HIT BY TRAFFIC COMING UP BEHIND ME. BMW MECHANICS REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP.

THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V189000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUF…

Owner report 11187375 · 2019-03-17 (March 17, 2019)
MY CAR HAD A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AFTER SITTING IN MY GARAGE ON DAYS WHERE THE GAS TANK IS FULL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK HAS A LEAK. THE ISSUE FROM THE DEALER IS: "FUEL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE SEPARATELY FROM THE FUEL TANK UNFORTUNATELY." THIS IS A CAR THAT WAS NOT YET 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 33,400 MILES. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. IT DOES NOT SEEM CORRECT THAT A NON-REPLACEABLE PART FAILS ON SUCH A LIGHTLY USED CAR. IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY AND EMISSIONS ISSUE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX…
