Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2008 BMW 535

Vehicle stalls, hesitates when driving. Message on the dash says that the fuel pump is failing, but can be driven with decreased performance and to bring the vehicle to BMW. Brought the car to BMW service and they told me that there was a recall on the fuel pump but my car is not covered because I have 159k miles one the said vehicle. Upon further investigation with the service advisor, (carlos - norwalk BMW), who is polite and helpful, we found that the car had already been serviced for three same problem at least 3 times. First is in 2009 when they replaced the high pressure fuel pump. After folloa year 2010, the same problem occurred. The dealership again replaced the same fuel pump. Then on 2013, having the same problem again, the dealership replaced the injectors but the problem is still occurring. The problem had been ongoing and this time, they will not fix the issue because the vehicle is over the 120k miles. I believe that BMW is responsible for the problem that the vehicle was never properly fix in the first place. At least 3 times of having the same problem (that was documented by BMW), and still not resolved! it is a good car, but can be dangerous and could cause an accident. I will not let my wife drive it anymore until I feel it is safe. Problem is intermittent. At low speed, idling, and at highway speeds which can be really scary. I hope they will take responsibility and actually find and fix the issue.

While driving on the highway and local streets the car suddenly loses power and cuts off giving a fuel pump malfunction. I had the high pressure fuel pump replaced and the problem still exists. This has put my whole family in danger because it has happened on the highway at speeds in excess of 50 mph. The car just suddenly shut down.

While driving on freeway at 70 mph, the vehicle began to lose power in heavy traffic. I noticed on computer screen engine malfunction-reduced power. So, I manuvered to get to outside shoulder lane, and stopped the vehicle. It was sputtering at the time, and I turned the vehicle off for a few minutes. And then started it again and the problem had cleared itself, so I proceeded to my home. When I got home, I checked on the computer for online information, and saw a recall notice for this vehicle because of high pressure fuel pump failure, safety hazzard. The car was purchased last year from a dealer with only 40,000 miles on it, and at that time the dealer said, "the old owner traded it in on a new vehicle. " so, I have no record if this problem was recalled through this 1st owner or not? it acted exactly as the safety complaint explained, the loss of power with engine malfunction. I was fortunate to get off the freeway to a safe place to stop, with lack of power. It was strange to say the least, and the vehicle now has 45,000 miles on the odometer. (I looked up on the site for recalls and put in the VIN number, and the indication came back, no recall on this vehicle. It is ironic that this is the same type of incident that happened to cause major problems, enough to have an abc safety recall special, and I experience the same type of event that many others had. Please advise me of my next procedure to not experience this again. Troubled driver 7/1/2016.

The contact owns a 2008 BMW 535i. While driving approximately 60 mph, the fuel pump failed and the engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder and towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that both of the vehicle¿s fuel pumps were replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer and the fuel pump was replaced again due to a defective manufacturer¿s part. The failure mileage was 60,000.

The warning light came on. The vehicle information system said the fuel pump was malfunctioning. I took it to the dealer and they said the fuel pump failed.
