Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of BMW 328

Fuel tank leaks gasoline. An alarming amount of fuel leaks and this is an issue that seams common among BMW f30 chasis. In my case when my car is ful tank it starts dripping fuel, visible. The problem seems to be a seal that is made to flex but with time that seal fails and creates a fire hazard due to high volatile fumes and liquid gas leakage. I was able to notice as I parked my car when arriving home due to the strong smell of fuel. -the issue is reproducible. -on the safety side, it puts a risk of fire. -the vehicle unfortunately has not been inspected by police or insurance -there is an error code un the computer of the vehicle that has to do with detection of fuel leakage.

Smelling fuel when I fill my tank and also noticed fuel on the ground if parked for an extended period. Took my car in and they stated the fuel tank has a hairline crack and BMW has since reinforced the part. Seems like they know it is prone to cracking and have made the fix but not issued a recall.

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?.

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.

On interstate 10, during the accelaration, the engine completely lost its power. I had to immediately pull over before I lost the momentum. The CA highway patrol pushed me to a safe place. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the dealer replaced the entire fuel tank. The second incident was almost 20 days after again during the acceleration on freeway at the speed of 70, the engine lost its power in a way that the car did not proceed for a while. The dealer advised that it was nothing wrong with engine because they could not read any error in the system and ii had to wait till I recive an aerror on the lcd. I notified them that it is a serious problem specifically on the freeway becasue losss of power can cause an accident, but to no avail.

I was traveling on the PA turnpike near the quakertown exit at 75 mph in the left hand lane when my car shut down and came to a stop in active traffic. As the car was shutting down I had diffulty steering but was able to break. There were no visible error codes or lights to indicate issue. When attempting to restart the car, the engine would roll but I was unable to move. I called 911 for assistance. I was fortunate that a state farm highway worker stopped to protect me from high speed traffic coming up behind me until I could be safely moved off of the road. The car was towed to west german BMW in fort washington, PA. Cost for the above service was paid for by BMW under a "warranty extension" as this is a "known issue. " I was unaware of this issue as no recall or service notices have been sent by BMW to inspect or repair failing fuel lines. I am filing this complaint because the issues found in my car are exceptionally serious and could have resulted in a major high speed accident. Furthermore these repairs will appear on my carfax and will position my car to other buyers as one with major issues. During inspection and repair process several issue were noted. 1. No faults were stored in the vehicle. 2. Upon checking the fuel pressure, none was found @ rail 3. Upon removing the fuel tan cover they discovered that a hose popped off inside the tank 4. After reattaching, they were able to restart the car, only to have the hose come off again the next day as it was going through the courtesy car wash 5. After opening the car again, they found that the fuel line that was clamped on "line a" ruptured, full fuel tank and assembly replacement was necessary.

Car shutoff completely in the middle of traffic. Got it towed to the dealership and they stated that the fuel line came off which is located above the fuel tank. No way anybody can get to it without taking off the fuel tank. Fortunately I was not driving at a high speed and on the highway. The fuel line could have ignited or worse, if the car shutdown on the highway, it could have been my life.
