general problems of the 2010 BMW 535

The contact owns a 2010 BMW 535i. The contact stated while driving approximately 20-25 mph, the vehicle loss motive power. The contact coasted and manually steered the vehicle to the side of the roadway. The contact stated that the fuel pump warning light was illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to rallye BMW (1 brush hollow rd, westbury, NY 11590, (516) 226-7947) who had replaced an unknown part however, approximately a week later the failure recurred with the same warning light illuminated. The contact returned the vehicle to the same dealer and the fuel pump was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

When attempting to bring vehicle up to speed on the on-ramp of the highway, the "fuel pump warning" will display on screen. This is then followed by a loss of power in the engine until the engine stops and the vehicle no longer runs. Vehicle has been towed and diagnosed as the high pressure fuel pump be technician. Technician advised me that BMW has recalled "certain" models for this problem.

My 3 kids and I had left the bwm dealer after I had parts serviced/parts replaced, and jumped on the interstate. I was cruising around 70mph when I felt the car slow down and the msg "engine malfunction, reduce speed" appeared. I veered to the right a little,but I quickly found and exit and pulled over. Fortunately, the traffic on the interstate was lite and an accident was avoided, but it did get my heart racing. The dealer said this was a "common" type of msg, but I'm weary. I tried telling them about the fuel pump issue, but they said my car was not affected. They wanted to charge me another diagnostic fee and I just paid to have my car serviced and diagnosed! they also suggested I continue to drive it until the issue forces me to have to bring it in - basically until something breaks. I would have the dealer would have started with replacing the high pressure fuel pump and moving on from there since it is a documented problem. We'll see what happens.

Ignition coil malfunction recurs after dealership repairs of the same problem. Causes engine speed to vary and be outside the drivers control.
