3 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2010

While driving my BMW, the engine stalled out on the highway and forced me to expedite myself to a safe location. The engine would shake and rattle at idle, and the car was sent into limp mode by the pcm. This occurred numerous times in the following days, and always at random times and speeds. I was lucky enough to not be passing someone on the highway, or entering/exiting the on/off ramps when it occurred. I am forced to take ultra safe routes that offer slower speeds. This issue seems to be very common with this engine make and model, and must be addressed as this will eventually cause a injury/accident/ or worse, fatality. Please look into this issue and have the people responsible fix their mistakes.
