I was driving uphill last night and an engine light came on and the navigation screen said reduced power. I had to shift down into third gear and put my foot to the floor and the car hardly kept going up the hill. I turned it off and then on again and all seemed fine. On the way home the same lights came on but then the service engine soon light came on and began flashing and the car began shaking and idling very rough. The car was very hard to drive and had almost no power whatsoever. Problem occurred again this morning and the car was taken to the dealership on a flat bed. This would be extremely dangerous if it happened at highway speeds or on an open stretch of highway with little access to services and/or repair facilities. The dealership says it is the high pressure fuel pump.

The car is a 2009 BMW 335i . About 23 weeks ago, the car lost power. Fortunately, there was not a accident. When the car went into the dealer, I was told that it was a fuel pump problem and the changed the pump.

This is an update to odi 10290275. My car (2009 335xi) is yet again experiencing long starting times and I have had another abrupt loss of power. Although there is no "check engine light" on yet I believe it is only a matter of time before the high pressure fuel pump is again replaced. This is a chronic problem that is recognized by BMW (as they have extended the warranty on the high pressure fuel pumps) but does not address the underlying safety concern of a sudden loss of power that will ultimately result in an accident.

BMW n54 engine 1. Symptoms begin with increasing long-cranks on start-up. Eventually the engine performs at reduced power, and ultimately total loss of power. 2. I am on my 3rd high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) with approximately 25,000 miles on the car in 2 years and 2 months of ownership. Apparently the replacement of the hpfp frequently leads to a problem with the spark plugs, and coils which cause severe mis-firing and violent shaking. My coils were replaced as was a catalytic converter and an O2 sensor in between hpfp #1 and #2. At times the engine has cut power while at highway speeds causing a hazardous driving condition. 3. BMW made available a hpfp from a new manufacturer (my #2 hpfp) and subsequently discontinued that part (part # ending in 943) and replaced it with part # ending in 933, which is a re-manufactured hpfp (the pump currently in my car). Each of the three pumps appears to be nearly identical, each has a high failure rate and none seem to address the root of the problem.

The BMW 335i has problem with the high pressure fuel pump failures which was acknowledged by BMW n/a with a extended warranty on this part for 10 years or 120k miles. My BMW 335i has had 3 fuel pump failures in 24,000 miles, each time the car has completely stalled leaving me stranded in very dangerous scenarios. The most recent time I was stranded on a busy road with no shoulder which my safety was jeopardized by this cars default. Numerous attempts to contact BMW n/a have been made, to no avail.

Driving home my 2007 BMW 335 all of sudden lost horse power. Error message stated "engine malfunction-reduced power". This occurred on an entry to an expressway while trying to accelerate. It obvious the dangers that could happen when the vehicle loses power. I was fortunate enough to pull over and limp to next exit. The dealer ship stated the problem was high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) the is the 2nd time the hpfp has been replaced on my vehicle. My vehicle only has 38k miles. I did further research and this appears to be a common problem. BMW needs to address this before anyone gets injured as a result of this issue.

My 2010 BMW 335xi (3,500 miles) suddenly stalled on wa highway 520, on the lake washington bridge in the middle of rush hour traffic due to hpfp failure. There was a malfunction warning on the nav display, stating that only limited engine power was available, when two seconds later the engine stalled, losing power steering and brakes as well. I was going approx. 25 mph in heavy traffic entering the bridge that has no shoulder. I was blocking one of two eastbound lanes and posed a significant safety risk. I was able to restart the engine and go for approx. 50 yards before the engine stalled again. Doing so 4-5 times I reached the midspan turnout and stopped in an extremely dangerous spot. I called roadside assistance when a dot truck approached and pushed me off the remainder of the bridge. I was in an extremely unsafe position for approx. 30 minutes! the car was towed and the problem was a high pressure fuel pump failure, the pump was replaced. When I called BMW to complain, the rep said she had never heard of this problem before. I just read an article and this problem seems to be widespread. A brand new car stalling on the freeway without warning is extremely unnerving and dangerous.

Had a high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failure while driving which resulted in the car going into limp mode (reduced engine power) while driving. This limp mode is potentially a serious safety issue in that if you are on the highway, merging, passing, or around town driving and you get this limp mode you can be involved in an accident due to the vehicle not responding as you, or other drivers, would expect. Symptoms of this issue are long starting crank periods before the vehicle turns over. BMW has know this is a problem for a number of years yet have not spent the appropriate effort to correct the problem. I have had two hpfp failures in the past 11 months (may 2009 and Feb 2010).

This was after the car had made 2 previous visits to the dealership to repair hpfp problems. Currently I am now on my 3rd hpfp in 2months. Unsafe car to drive, especially if this was to occur at high speeds on a highway.
