Other Fuel System Pump Problems of BMW 335 - part 2

Sudden and complete loss of power while vehicle is running/moving (brand new 335i 2014). High pressure fuel pump malfunctioned(complete failure) while merging on to lane at busy airport gate ramp. There were no warning lights (check engine light) or partial loss of power but, I did get a total and complete loss of power with a sudden vehicle stop. Bus behind me almost run into me! the vehicle suddenly stopped and I was not able to re-start. After a while airport police came and help me move the car out of busy intersecting/merging lanes ramp. On this automatic vehicle, it is very difficult to put it in neutral, when engine does not start. (I was lucky that I was not in the middle of a busy freeway) BMW 335i had issues with fuel pump a few years back and it could be back again. This is a safety risk to drivers out there.

April 14, 2014 our car went in for service. May 7, 2014 it was returned for a 'reduced power,service engine soon'light. At that time, the fuel pump was replaced and covered under a recall. In July the light came on again and the battery was dead. We replaced the battery. In late August, the warning light appeared again. September 8,2014 the car went into the garage. At this time we were told it was most likely the turbo, est repairs at $5500. 00. At this time the car had 83985 miles on it(the turbo was under an "extended" warranty until 82,000). I contacted BMW and ask for an extension on the warranty since we were less than 2,000 miles over. They agreed to pay for the part, but not the labor which is 2600. 00. While I appreciate their effort, it is not enough. They obviously are aware that there is an issue with this part, since they extended the warranty so I feel that they should cover the entire amount. Yesterday the same warning light came on and has stayed on. The car is running very loudly, shaking, with little power. We are requesting your advice and/or assistance about what to do next. One thing I didn't mention was approximately one month after purchasing this pre-owned car, the engine had to be replaced with only 25,000 miles on it. So the current engine has approximately 55000 miles on it.

All 6 fuel injectors were leaking and caused the car to stall on the freeway. The fuel injectors were replaced along with the spark plugs and coils. 1 year later at 100k miles, the same issue has arisen. The fuel system seems to be a constant problem with this car. It is a very dangerous problem, since the car shuts down at high speeds on the freeway. BMW should extend the warranty on the fuel injectors as they did with the high pressure fuel pump.

## VIN passed ## BMW 335 2008 ## purchased car w/ 18000 miles and my 2nd fuel pump is on its way out (scheduling appt next week), brakes make noise when braking (pads are fine), and low pressure fuel sensor is now throwing fuel pressure code 29f3.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 BMW 335 xi. The contact stated that while on the freeway the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration while after a period of stalling. The vehicle was taken to a dealership where the malfunction to be diagnosed as a fuel pump and oil pressure pump malfunction and they needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified for the failure. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 36,000. Kh.

High pressure fuel pump failed on freeway causing immediate loss of 70% of power. Dealership is also saying that fuel injectors are faulty. After looking through different internet websites it seems to be a common problem in early 335i models. Almost crashed because of it.

I was driving home from the dry cleaners. As I was trying to merge into the freeway, the car check engine light came on with about a 70% reduction in power. I couldnt merge onto the freeway safely, and had to pull tot he shoulder. The car is currently at BMW dealer for repairs. It has been suggested that it is due to the fuel pump.

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 335i. While driving various speeds and accelerating, the speed decreased and the message "engine pressure reduction" appeared. In addition, while driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to niello BMW in elk grove, California where the high pressure fuel pump was replaced along with the asa bolts. In regards to the vehicle stalling, the coolant pump and the water pump were replaced. Furthermore, the dealer found a leak in the seal of the radiator and diagnosed that it needed to be replaced. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was not included in the recalls related to the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I ordered a brand new 2011 BMW 335i xdrive and it was delivered on April 19, 2010. The 2011 model year came out early. On Feb 20, 2012 I had a difficult time starting the engine after sitting overnight. . . It would take too long to start, cranking for a long time. Brought it to BMW in warwick ri and they ran short tests and found nothing wrong. Another time I would smell a strong odor of gasoline and I was not by any gas stations or other cars. Brought it to the same service center and they could not find anything wrong. Another time my car stalled out unexpectedly, but was able to start it again. This week on may 21st 2015 dropped the car off to have another tire replaced because I hit a pothole (8 tires replaced in 34,500 files, 4 replacement tires due to potholes). I also complained about the car taking too long to crank over 1st time in the morning. They kept the car overnight and their technician had the same starting problem that I experienced and they ran a diagnostic. They said the high pressure fuel pump and the fuel rail pressure sensor had to be replaced. The service advisor said it was a two-part repair. He said BMW would cover the $885 high pressure fuel pump but I would have to pay for the fuel rail pressure sensor which was $391. If this takes two parts to repair, then why isn't BMW paying for both parts? I called BMW headquarters in woodcliff lake NJ for a resolution but I was told I would have two wait up to 5 business days for an answer. I found many BMW blogs online complaining about high pressure fuel pump failures and repeated failures after the high pressure fuel pump was replaced. My car has less then 35,000 miles on it. The 2011 BMW 335i xdrive with the n55 engine should be included in the previous recall since they use the same high pressure fuel pump as previous year models that were recalled and BMW should pay for the full repair.

High pressure fuel pump failure. Failure starts off with long starts, followed by rough idle followed by reduced power and failed pump. Had 4 pumps replaced.

While driving around 65-70mph, I experienced a complete loss of engine power, and had to pull over to the shoulder of the highway. I immediately restarted the vehicle and was left with 50% engine power (limp mode). Luckily the dealer was only a couple miles away, so I immediately drove there for repair, but had this been elsewhere in the region, I would have been stranded. The BMW high pressure fuel pump was replaced and the car has been working well ever after. I was told that this incident accurately reflects what typical high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failures typically present like.

I own a 2007 BMW 335i. A few months ago after a service issue for an unrelated problem, my vehicle dash display went haywire and showed an engine problem. I was traveling on a highway at speed and suddenly no power. The vehicles behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me. It was also difficult to get over onto the shoulder. The dealership diagnosed the issue as a failed high pressure fuel pump. After some recent research I have read that this is a common and known issue with my vehicle, yet there have been no mandatory recalls, merely replacements pump that in many cases fails again. I see this as a potentially life-threatening issue that is waiting to occur given the right circumstances.

High pressure fuel pump failed in parking lot. Not driving at the time. It was replaced and 2 weeks later started having problems again. This time they did not replace it. Only a software update. Still having starting problems.

My BMW 335xi has repeatedly had fuel pump issues. The engine will malfunction when I am in the middle of the road (often times in the middle of the highway). This is not only a potential safety issue for myself, but for others on the road as well. This fuel pump failure issue prevents my car from moving, which can potentially lead to someone's death, especially on the highway. Please force BMW to recall this fuel pump ASAP.

2008 BMW 335xi high pressure fuel pump failure. Dealer replaced. Failed in traffic and went into limp mode.

2008 BMW 335i, failing high pressure fuel pump. BMW was reluctant to replace part.

The contact owns a 2008 BMW 335. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the engine reduced in power as the speed vehicle decelerated independently. The engine malfunctioning and the reduce speed warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that the failure was caused by the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired under a manufacturer's recall. The failure recurred several times after the repair was performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who stated that they would not assist with the repair because the vehicle was previously repaired per the manufacturer's recall. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 51,000.

I have had two fuel pumps replaced for my BMW 335i and it is very annoying. The events leading up to the failure were very long cranks when I started the car and one time my car even almost broke down and wouldn't start on me. . . BMW replaced both the fuel pumps that went dead and for one of them I had to wait three weeks to get it. . . =/ very mad!!.

2007 BMW 335i has known widespread fuel pump problem with high rate of failure leading to sudden power loss. I have new car with 1200 mi, with no warning from dealer about potential problem, I experienced near complete power loss on busy freeway leading to near collision. This car should be categorically recalled until all fuel pumps are replaced. Mfr is continuing to sell this car with known defect without warning consumer. When presented with this problem, it is common for a 2-3 month backorder on replacement pump which also has a high failure rate. Overall, BMW's poor design, lack of thorough testing before release of new engine, and failure to warn customers is creating this unacceptable hazard.

On cold starts with my 335i sedan, car would take 5-6 seconds to start. Happened after 1,950 miles, consecutive mornings and evenings. Brought the car into the shop. They reset the computer and discovered a failed fuel pump. Part is on back order, still not eta on arrival and car has been in the shop for over 3 weeks now.
