Consistent fuel pump error code 2aaf.
I was told by BMW that the high pressure fuel pump for these vehicles are under warranty for 100,000 miles or 10 years. I just purchased the vehicle to not only drive from new jersey to new york and shut down. Since then it caused an accident and the used dealer is just ignoring everything. I was also told there’s an electric water pump class action suit and also something with the trunk leaking. Now I do know that a vehicle is not supposed to be sold without recalls being stated and fixed. I’m already paid 10k for the car and then 1k for a starter . The vehicle is in the body shop having body repair due to the engine shutting down. If the engine shuts down it displays fuel pump malfunction and within 20-30 mins will start again. The BMW 535i has 96,000 miles on it and I don’t think it’s fair that I should be penolized for someone not following thru with repairs let alone having an accident on my insurance now. I’m asking please just help get the vehicle running again and all future service will absolutely be done through BMW. That’s how I handled my mercedes’ and plan so with this vehicle. I’m a single father that just took a severe beating financially and had to sell the mercedes’ and thought buying a BMW was a good choice being I had a similar issue with mercedes’ and they honored the repair due to the amount of time owned and still being in the mileage range of the defective part. Please help . Email-cfogarty80@gmail. Com cell- 917-744-5973 charles fogarty thank you in advance.
BMW extended warranty to 10 years for the injectors. Vehicle experienced injector problems severely impacting acceleration and failing texas emissions testing. BMW then denied reimbursement. This issue is a serious safety problem and a recall should have been implemented.
The BMW 535i that I have has had many problems with the fuel system. All pumps have been replaced and still the car will stop running at any time. It has happened at different speeds and has caused me to get off the road and get the car towed. I have spent so far over 6,000 dollars on pumps . Now the car is back in the shop and I am told that I am staring at another big bill. This has been an on going problem for about a year and a half. BMW has given me one excuse after the other. This is very dangerous because it has happened to me in traffic at speed. Been lucky not to crash the car.

I have all service records, and have had all required repairs, recalls and maintenance performed exclusively at BMW dealership. This vehicle should not just catch fire and burn for no apparent reason and without and warning lights or indicators. Clearly a safety issue here that requires further investigation.

Glad that I was able to get the vehicle to roll away from the building far enough to prevent it from catching on fire also and causing additional property damage.

Car started sputtering and stalled after taking off from a red light.
Yellow engine light came on, was tested and nothing was found. It started using more gas than usual and long-cranks starting the engine and shaking after the engine started. The diagnosis was all 6 fuel injectors needed replacement as they were leaking gasoline, they all failed at 73,000 miles.
My car smells like gas. I have taken my car to two BMW shops and it's the same thing every time. They can't find anything. Plus, my check engine light stays in all the time. The dealership tells me the same thing that can't fine the problem. Also, my headlights has a malfunction problem, it works when it wants to work.
