1 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2011 BMW 328

Failure Date: 11/14/2019

The back door passenger side wood door panel is off and it was never fixed or replaced when I purchased the vehicle. This will probably cost me money to get the wood panel put back on the door. The same lights always appear on my dash board. The indicator lamps are dsc is deactivated. I do not know how to get this fixed. The brake light stays on and it is illuminating a yellow light. I managed to reset the service engine soon light after reading youtube. I took my car back to dealership twice and they did a diagnostic and couldn't get the service engine soon light to turn off. Also the dealership told me I have new brakes and a new oil change. A friend told me how to check my oil and my oil was a quart low. I drove to the nearest gas station and put in a quart of synthetic blend motor oil. I discovered after driving to washington from las vegas, nevada my car leaks from my engine.

2 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2011 BMW 328

Failure Date: 12/21/2017

The car would run rough and the service engine light came on. The vehicle got progressively worse until it wasn't drivable. I took it to the BMW dealer and they said the bolts on the exhaust vanos unit fell out and it would be $4,000 to repair it. Because the vehicle has a branded title they would not cover it under the extended warranty. Apparently, this is a common problem for this vehicle. 156,000 were recalled and an additional 170,000 were supposed to be covered under an extended warranty. Evidently my vehicle was part of the 170,000 but BMW refuses to honor the warranty. Please help.

Failure Date: 04/20/2017

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.

4 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2012 BMW 328

Failure Date: 03/20/2013

In March, 2013 service engine soon light would go on and off and engine idle would suddenly surge. Made service appointment with dealer where I purchased the car and service department diagnosed the issue as a faulty secondary air valve, fc 2a00, DC d1170-000 07-001, and secondary air valve was replaced. Parts replaced: 11-72-7-506-214 and 11-72-7-557-909. Car was purchased on 10/8/2012 and had 5,333 miles when it required repair. After the repair was done, the service engine soon light was no longer on, but the car continued to experience engine idle surges, but they were not as abrupt and significant as before the repair and a lot less frequent. However, in July, 2014 the car started to experience issues relating to the engine overheating, and the engine began to have frequent and sudden surges both while at idle and while driving. In addition, the car's a/c was no longer providing cold air, and the car's performance was erratic. When max cool was engaged, the car's engine would surge loudly until the a/c was turned off. The car became increasingly difficult to steer and drive. During the time the car was experiencing these issues, no warning light was illuminated and the on board system check indicated that there were no issues with the car. At this point the car had been driven14,000 miles (approx). Service appointment was scheduled and according to service department, the a/c system was leaking and there was very little refrigerant left, and the a/c compressor was replaced. However, the service department stated no other issues were found with the car and when the service tech test drove the car it performed without any issues and they did not observe any sudden surges with the engine.

Service engine light has come on 5 times within the past 6 weeks. I have returned to the dealership and they have been unable to identify the problem. The dealership has advised the dealership to reset the computer program, replace a purge valve, and eventually has had to replace the entire computer system. This has resulted in 5 visits to the dealership and an extreme inconvenience.
