Multiple misfiring due to faulty injectors. BMW has revised the part 12 times. This is a very common and known problem in the eu where a recall was issued.
I was driving on the interstate when my car started to lose acceleration. I could not accelerate up an incline. Then I heard a rattling. The next exit was a rest stop and as I was exiting my vehicle failed and shut down. I had no power at all. I coasted to a parking stall and turned the vehicle off after parking it safely. When I opened the hood the vehicle was not hot or smoking so I tried to start it. The car started but with a very loud knocking and rattling so I shut it off again and phoned the dealership. I towed the vehicle to the dealership over 30 days ago and have not been contacted by them not 1x. I have called weekly to no avail.
I went to the BMW dealership (to have the several recall performed on my car lastweek 1. Recall id 263858 2. Recall id 190318 3. Recall id 190319 4. Recall id 190320 5. . Read more...
BMW issued a recall - si b13 14 10 - and it covers replacing injectors, if the car falls under a certain date and has a certain batch of injector. Most importantly, on the bottom of the recall bulletin states: "warranty info" - and it specifically says, "the repair described in this bulletin is covered under warranty regardless of time or mileage. " the car had the injector(s) fail a few weeks ago, and vehicle is currently at stevens creek BMW. The dealers/manufacturer are refusing to honor the recall notice that I handed to them - even though it specifically states there is no time limit or mileage limit to replacing the injectors. . . 3 of the injectors were replaced several years ago, but 3 were not, and the injector that failed is part of the batch that should have been replaced but the technician decided not to years ago. They are saying this is not a recall - although it clearly says "voluntary recall". Because there is no time limit and the miles do not count against the recall (according to the bulletin) the injectors should be replaecd (and should have already been) without any customer needing to pay anything, because that is what the recall is for and that is what it directly says. But the dealership (stevens creek BMW) and BMW na or saying they won't honor the recall or tell me why. I'm not sure what to do because my car is stranded over there and they want $3500 to replace something that BMW says should already be replaced (regardless of time or mileage).
Fuel injectors are faulty.
My vehicles fuel consumption has worsened. Headlights flickers. Vehicle goes into limp mode often. Vehicle feels like it's choking or running on less cylinders. I have to constantly change my clock. Misfiring still occurring even after tune up. Loss of power. Waste gate rattle.
When starting car engine, its take a long time to crank up and get the engine going. It also sound really weak unlike when I first bought it. Engine also show warning engine malfunction light up from time to time.
Starting with electrical the dash screen has been turning on and off on its own sins I bought the car. Dealer cant replicate problem because it only happens so often. Water pump and gas pump have gave me problems even after they fix it. After recall for heater issues, my car absorbs fumes from the engine. Adviser and supervisor from BMW dealer say that is normal cause that's where the car gets the heat from. Center divider from inside of the car gets extremely hot when I have heater on, to where I can feel the heat go through my jeans. Advisers and supervisor also state that is normal, because exhaust pipes run through there. None of this makes any sense to me. I've called corporate plenty of times through out the years and they tend to help at times. But this time I feel like I have a lemon problem. What can I do?.
