The engine coolant pump is affected in my vehicle. There is a current recall issued on my vehicle with no available remedy. The recall was issued back in August, which means it has been 6 months. This is my form of transportation to work and also to school. I have contacted my local dealership and they are not sure when they will get the part in. They want me to pay $195 per hour for a diagnostic first to see if they can expedite the part needed. With this being said they will not offer me a loaner vehicle and says I am responsible for my own form a transportation. I was driving my vehicle on February 11th around 5:45pm when my vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of a roundabout. I yielded oncoming traffic, thankfully I was able to shift over into the grass in time before anyone else entered the roundabout. My check engine light came on and it started to overheat, which I have never had that issue since the recall was issued. It started smoking from under my hood so I let it cool before I attempted to drive it again to return home. The following day I was able to start my vehicle up and I took it to take 5 to get an oil change and a coolant flush thinking that may be the issue. The mechanic advised me since the coolant they use is standard coolant and I need premium he would not perform it. He ran my codes and the issue that popped up was the current recall on my vehicle. This is the first time I have experienced any issues since the recall has been issued. I am now left with a vehicle that is not able to be driven.

What happened: the issue involves a recall on the engine coolant system of my BMW. The car is currently unsafe to drive, and BMW has not provided a timetable for fixing the problem or offering a solution. The last time I drove the car, I experienced a dangerous malfunction. While driving slowly to the end of my street, I pressed the gas pedal, but the engine did not respond at all. The car essentially lost power, leaving me in the middle of the street. I was able to roll the car in front of a neighbor’s house, turn it off, and restart it. After restarting, I managed to drive it back up the street to my house. I have not driven the car since, as I do not want to put myself or others in danger. Safety risk: the engine failure occurred while I was driving, which could have put me at risk of being struck by other vehicles. A sudden loss of engine power while driving, especially at higher speeds or in traffic, could cause a serious accident. Inspection/confirmation: the recall has been acknowledged by BMW, but there is no timetable for when parts will be available to resolve the issue. I have contacted the corporate office and the local dealership. The dealer refuses to provide a rental car, leaving me without a viable transportation option. Warning symptoms: no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms appeared before the failure occurred.

I purchased the vehicle with no issues upon driving the vehicle for about 3 months I started having issues with the vehicle overheating and low coolant warning messages one day I was driving home and the engine suddenly started smoking I turned the vehicle off and opened the hood the vehicle had not started ever since.

The engine coolant pump is leaking and causing my car to smoke it’s been happening right before the recall was posted. I’m concerned my car will catch on fire and there is no remedy for the fix yet. And it’s almost a whole year later.

Stall/loss of power while entering highway on ramp. Engine died and would not restart. After inspecting car found the gas tank to be filled with metal shavings which is indicative of a failed high pressure fuel pump. My year make and model vehicle has a recall on the hpfp for the same reason but my VIN was supposedly not affected.
Def scr active tank fluid level sensor fails. BMW requires entire replacement of the active tank for $1200 parts + $1500 for labor. This is a ridiculous repair since Volkswagen sells a repair kit for the active tank fluid sensor for just ~$300 in their diesel. Given the high failure rates of the active tank fluid sensor present throughout BMW diesel line-up in the USA, BMW should instead provide a repair kit to avoid such an expensive repair. The 335d and x5d had such high failure rates of the active tanks, that the extended warranties were provided to owners 120k/10years.
Scr active tank no longer reads urea, BMW ista diagnostic code 805256 8051b5--return pump: taught in volume is outside the permitted range.
There is a known engine timing chain problem with this make and model of vehicle. These timing chains tend to fail and fail sometimes quite early. Repair of these engine timing chains is prohibitively expensive. Nhtsa should investigate and determine that a recall should be required to ensure that these timing chains don't fail prematurely or are replaced by the manufacturer when they do so.
