Failure Date: 10/01/2018

I own a 2008 335i twin turbo BMW 3 Series, while driving I started smelling a fresh gas smell in the back of my car inside and outside, really strong smell so much I have to keep my windows down and it gives me a headache and I feel like my car is going to catch on fire with any given spark and it could, the certified mechanic said my fuel pump assembly is faulty so I went online and there is a recall on the 2008 335i twin turbo but for some reason when I called BMW they said my car is not on the recall list so they wont fix it! my car has the problem, my car has apx 80,000 , eighty thousand miles oni it. Why is my car not covered when it has the problem of all the other cars? this is a very dangerous situation I have. Please help. Thank you for your time.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2016

Currently I have the high pressure fuel pump in my 335i (2008). I have my "service engine soon engine malfunction. Reduced power" light on - it just came on yesterday. Original warranty was 4 years 40,000 miles. Which according to BMW was extended 10 years 120,000. So I am out of warranty because I already have 130k, my car was brought to BMW several occasion, it was never brought to my attention that there may a potential problems with the high pressure fuel pump.

3 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2015

I was driving on a highway around 60 mph speed and suddenly my car couldn't speed any further and lucky for me I was driving next to center divide and could pull it, I was able to avoid any accident. It was peak traffic time ( early morning commute ). So I believe this needs to looked into that if there was a recall which was not applied to all the make, models. After diagnosis it was found the issue was with fuel pump on which there are certain recalls on the newer models but for 2008 model they was none I confirmed with the customer service.
