12 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2014

This vehicle has a hesitation of throttle acceleration from idle and shifting between gears. Presents a real safety issue from idle position to acceleration. A 1-2 second delay consistently happens. The BMW dealer reported to me that they are aware of this situation but do not have a solution yet. If enough reports of this incident were handed in then it may nesesitate a cure from BMW. Apparently not enough squeaky wheels per say for BMW to act. Hopefully this along with hundreds of these complaints already on your web site about this very same issue is enough to get BMW to act on this safety issue.

13 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2013

Vehicle did not accelerate as I was pulling out of a gas station. This is normal for this car (throttle delay). I usually plan for the poor performance, however, because of heavy traffic I pulled out in what should have been ample time to merge in. No accident occurred but if I did not know how to react it very easily could have. I do not let other family members drive this vehicle due to this issue very unsafe!! thanks for your time.

14 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2012

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 528i. While the vehicle was in park or drive, the fuel warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the issue occurred several times prior to receiving NHTSA campaign number: 16v746000 (fuel system,gasoline. ) the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed with a fuel intake defect and the fuel cap was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

15 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2011

The vehicle has a significant delay in acceleration that occurs primarily after (I) the vehicle has slowed down to a speed between 18 mph and 24 mph; (ii) a full stop (although it is intermittent following a full stop) and (iii) sudden surges of acceleration. The acceleration delay is most noticeable when moderate acceleration is desired. The pedal can be depressed nearly fully with no noticeable acceleration for a short period. After the delay the car will accelerate, often in a surge. From a full stop acceleration is often a jerky affair. The acceleration issues significantly compromise safety due to the unexpected vehicle performance, both with the acceleration delay and the sudden surge of acceleration that occurs after about a second to a second and a half after the accelerator has been depressed. Often times when merging into traffic the vehicle has been nearly hit as a result of the acceleration delay. Likewise, it is nearly impossible to make a left turn until a road is empty as I have no idea how long it will take to cross opposing traffic.
