general problems of the 2011 BMW 535

My car suddenly shut off when I came to a stop at a red light while on a busy state route. The information cluster then began to read “fuel supply” and “battery discharge” my car would not turn back on and still has not turned back on since and it's been over a month now. According to the obd results, the fuel pump and injectors were somehow seized and therefore have caused the car to become inoperable. I was forced to spend over $1000 just to get my car out of the police tow yard and towed to my home because I could not afford the cost of the repairs needed. The nhsta website states that there is a recall on both the fuel system and the electrical system for my exact vehicle, but according to my VIN search results, there are 0 recalls. That doesn't make sense. I had just got my new inspection done maybe a month prior to my car breaking down.

Been fixing an unknown issue due to fuel presure, loss of engine power and car gets extra hot but doesn’t over heat, I have fixed the issue more on 2 different occasions. I didn’t pass the smog text so that’s when I was told to check for any recalls, now the issues returned with same problems and probably won’t pass smog again. I have all recorded from all the years of maintenance and I’m very diligent on on time maintenance or if theirs is any kind of malfunction. I’m now addressing the situation to you as I believe that there’s something wrong that’s beyond my control. I’ve also encountered other people with same vehicle with similar issues.

While driving on the highway my car turned off suddenly. Car was towed to home after checking possible causes we found out that even the fuel gauge in the instruments cluster was displaying a large amount of fuel ( 1/2 tank) actually it was empty. We put two gallons of gasoline then car start up again but fuel gauge still showing half of tank.

Trying to change line go seventh miles causes the car to go in limp mode.

Care was in motion on local street care started stalling, decrease in fuel, smoke out of tail pipe, complete engine failure, unable to start on engine. There are multiple forums on this specific vehicle with issues due to fuel injector. Since I am not the original buyer on vehicle I was not aware and was never notified by the new dealer that there would be an issue. Vehicle was bought at 126k miles in sept 2019.

My vehicle cut off while driving drive train/ drive shaft message came on which made my engine light come on shuddering with heavy shaking making weird noises which are the systems of a defected drive shaft same symptoms that apply to recall 17v067000 very scary my vehicle was just at BMW dealership for a recall due to an aggressive fuel leak. . . ,I asked about the recall for the drive train I was advised yes it's a recall but not for my vehicle which is a 2011 535i at the top of the recall list this is very dangerous and the 2nd time this car have put my life in danger how can you have a recall on the 2011 535i and then say not my specific vehicle BMW is the worst I will never purchase another BMW I cannot believe it these parts cannot be from wear and tear this starts from production of vehicle.

Fuel system was the alarm on the car and it won't stay started on more than 2 seconds. Final after 4 attempts it won't start at all. Had to get the vehicle towed.

Vehicle's low and high pressure fuel sensors/pumps were found to be defective after bringing car in for service for "extended cranking" while stationary. After further research, it was noted that BMW 535i models from 2008-2010 had been recalled due to similar issues with high/low pressure sensors/pumps. Apparently, the same issue exists on 2011 models but no recall has yet been issued.

It has acceleration issues all of the time. Does not accelerate as it should, instead it jerks. When at a stop sign or light and looking to accelerate it would jerk making it unsafe. I have almost hit multiple vehicle ecause of this.
