Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2010 BMW 535

Receiving p0087 low pressure fuel, car goes into drivetrain malfunction. Fix is replacing high pressure fuel pump.

Several times I was placed in peril while traveling at high rates of speed then the car stalls on us highway 95. There were also times when the car stalled while driving less than 35mph. When this happens I have no real control to steer the wheel, no prior warning or issues with the car to indicate it would stall. It is extremely traumatizing. Traumatizing! message of "fuel pump malfunction. Moderate driving possible". Car stalls while in motion whether it is 20mph or 65mph. Initial malfunction in July was after 1hr of driving then several times after that periodically as the car isn't driven often due to stay at home restrictions. The issue could not be duplicated at two auto mechanic shops, in fact by the time the tow truck arrived, the car started and was able to be driven onto the truck. There is no pattern of driving behavior or messages between failure / stall and as months went on, the time between stall and inability to start the car shortened from driving1hr to driving 10 minutes. BMW of the main line replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and stall and error issue remains. Wiring to fuel pump issue possible. There are several open complaints on the exact same issue. .

When staring up, extended crank/slow startup . Contacted BMW �fuel pump issue�. Not covered on current recalls because of year of car. All other 5 series have an open recall for the same problem.

Was driving down the road and was passing a vehicle and as I was getting past other driver my onboard dash popped up saying car needed to get serviced. Description of fault was fuel pump. All power was lost and was barely able to get past other motorist to get to the shoulder. Once I sat for about 20 min was able to restart vehicle and get to my destination 8 miles down the road. This made me feel very u safe and could have caused an accident with the other motorist. I was on a 2 lanes state road when this happened. There was also another vehicle behind the motorist I was passing to over take.

While driving steadily on the interstate (i494 in bloomington, mn) with traffic at roughly 65mph, I received a message on the dash of fuel pump failure, drive slowly. Car proceeded to go into �limp mode� with reduced power and then stalled out�gave me just enough time to navigate to a relatively safer spot on the shoulder of the interstate. Tried to restart car, but it would struggle and then fail each time.

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.

Fuel pump randomly causes engine failure during normal driving conditions causing it to malfunction, stall engine, and endanger the cars occupants saftey in normal to heavy traffic conditions. The fuel pump will reset itself after 5-10 minutes and the car will start again allowing it to then safely exit the roadway. . This issue is random in occurance. It could happen twice in one day, or it could happen only twice in one month.

High pressure fuel pump failed. This part has been highly publicized as faulty. Including recalls and extended warrantees. The failure at high speeds caused stalling and was very dangerous. BMW failed to replace for free the high pressure fuel pump and charged me full price. Failure to honor recall/warranty. It has been noted 150,000 plus vehicles are affected. This needs to be a mandatory recall and paid in full by BMW. Seeking investigation and reimbursement. I have the invoice if needed.

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.
