High pressure fuel pump - critical failure while driving in heavy traffic on the highway, the engine died without warning while in motion. Brakes and steering became incredibly heavy (presumably without power) as I pulled over with very little time to react. Car would not restart, just repeatedly turn over without trying to start. Pulled codes to discover that the high pressure fuel pump just failed completely - p142e $0018pd. Stalling in motion without any warning signs was scary. Turbo wastegates - caution turbos rattle severely while driving and performance is reduced. Extra time and space is needed when merging and overtaking. No engine codes.
Tl-the contact owns a 2007 BMW 335i. The contact stated while driving 35 mph the vehicle stalled without warning and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the contact's resident where informed by an independent mechanic that the fuel pump and starter needed to be repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 110,000. Ap.
I have had my 3rd high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) fail in the 3. 5 years that I have owned my car. All three replaced under warranty, but it seems to be a design flaw since this is a recurring problem in my model. Almost everyone people in my car club with a 2007 or 2008 model year 335i has had their hpfp replaced at least once. The car breaks down without warning and generally when comes to a complete stop. Upon failure, the engine warns of malfunctions and continue to drive in a "limp" mode, often stalling when coming to a complete stop. . . Shuddering during the drive until I am able to bring to a dealership. I have been fortunate that all three failure have occurred during low speeds and stalling occurring at stop lights and not during high speed operation. If it wasn't for my BMW roadside assistance, I would have been stranded on one of the three occasions. BMW knows there is a real problem but refuses to recall. They have issued dealer service bulletins and have increased the warranty on the hpfp replacements for 100,000 miles. However, a 100,000 mile warranty does not fix replacing the hpfp every few months (my 2nd in 4 months). BMW must issue a recall as this is dangerous and unpredictable, especially since this their is no symptoms for the impending malfunction and there is no user error.
