Other Fuel System Pump Problems of BMW 535 - part 2

I have an open recall campaign with my vehicle's in tank fuel pump. It is been a nine months since the recall was initial identified and my vehicle has not been fixed by BMW. I called them up and brought the vehicle to the dealership but have to bring back the vehicle un-repair due to the fact that they don't want to fix it and with excuse of part is not available. When I call the BMW customer relation department last week June 14, they said the same thing again "wait, and call us back but no definite solution". We need a real enforcement car manufacture on the timeline the recall must be remediate when the recall was initially identified, otherwise consumer with recall vehicle doesn't have a peace of mind when driving a defective vehicle.

The contact took the vehicle to the valley auto world BMW dealer located in 3822 sycamore dairy rd, fayetteville north carolina; 910-864-0000 who diagnosed that the fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced.

I was driving on the highways, amidst other vehicles when the engine completely lost power and stopped running. I was very lucky that I did not create an accident. The vehicle just shut itself off while going 60!! I lost power steering but managed to pull off to the side of the road. The vehicle would then not start and on the idrive it gave me a fuel pump warning . About an hour later after calling for assistance, I started the vehicle and it was as if nothing had occured. The warning dissappearing and it drove normally. It has since then done this same thing 4 other times. I have read many other complaints similar to mine and want to know if this vehicle is recalled and if not then why is it not recalled?.

Takata recall. The vehicle just shuts right off without any warning sign or check engine light. The vehicle loses power on the highway without any warning sign and it's absolutely dangerous and it can causes a serious accident. BMW has issued a recall on later models but not this model. Once the vehicle turns completely off a message on the vehicles idrive displays "fuel pump failure. " after the vehicle cools down for 20-30 minutes it starts back up and it happens again without notice maybe days later or weeks later. It's a dangerous issue and there's no way to detect it so warranty companies are giving a hard time to cover the costs and it's listed as covered under extended warranty. Very dangerous issue and it's something BMW should look into with the older model as well. Currently there's a recall on the 2010-2011 models for doing the same exact thing with the high pressure fuel pump.

My 2009 BMW 535i x drive continues to have stalling issues. I'm tired of taking it in to BMW to have them charge me and say nothing is wrong just to have my car constantly shutting down over and over. My car has pretty much been rebuilt because of this issue and it continues to happen. I do not feel that I should have to keep paying for a problem that is not resolved. My high pressure fuel pump, fuel pump, battery, high and low pressure senors have been replaced. I've had my oil changed and fuel line flushed and the problem is still occurring. I truly enjoy the vehicle when its working but I'm just at the point of trading it in for another vehicle other then BMW.

I was traveling on the interstate going 75mph when my car lost all power, shut off and left me without power and stranded due to a fuel pump. Upon further investigation I've found that BMW and specifically the "n54" motor that I have have a severe amount of complaints for this exact reason. There was an extened warranty put in place for certain parts however not all the parts that cause this type of a failure. I've tried working professionally with BMW of USA but because I wasn't involved in a crash from said failure they just refuse to help. I do not think any car with less than 100k miles on it should by any means have this severe of a break down potentially causing a rather fatal outcome. Luckily I am an aggressive driver and can handle a car with lost power and not collide into a wall which I nearly did. This needs to be addressed with BMW USA as it is unacceptable for a high end turbo vehicle to have complete failure while driving at highway speeds. BMW forums all over the internet have shown me thousands of people have this problem. Sadly they may not know NHTSA exists to file a complaint. I sincerely hope your group can help us helpless consumers of BMW products gain a safer driving experience. BMW recalling one fuel pump and not the other, or extending the warranty on turbos yet not the subsequent parts that they operate and it causing this type of a break down is truly truly scary as well as unnacceptable. Please help!.

Vehicle has issues in line with the recall that has been extended for some VIN numbers under recall number #16v746000. Vehicle has experienced shaking under acceleration, sputtering, flashing check engine light and, multiple trips to the dealership. The vehicle has had items noted under the recall fixed at the expense of the vehicle owner. Currently the high pressure fuel pump has been replaced, as has the battery without making any change on the vehicles performance. It is currently in the dealers hands (for the last month) with Bmwna currently reviewing the service records to see if they will cover the issue. The vehicle has experienced issues while merging into traffic, accelerating, and daily ddriving.

Fuel pump!, near the gas tank. I can't go very far in my car without it cutting off. I have had it diagnosed by BMW. I have been towed off the highway ( grand central exit 19) while being stuck in an unsafe condition on 10/13/16. I hear 3 consecutive beeps then within 5 minutes or less the car shuts down and the system shows fuel pump!. I have had the high pressure fuel pump replace by BMW, however that does not seem to be the problem. I am not enjoying my car. The recall announced on 10/28/2016, should also include the 2009 BMW 5 series. I love the BMW cars, however it has become the ultimate driving nightmare. Please include the 2009 series in the recall.

While driving from work on a busy Friday afternoon the vehicle's check engine light comes on and the computer screen states "engine malfunction! reducing power" "high pressure fuel pump malfunction" less than a minute the engine stalled. Leaving me stranded on the bridge for hours, try to start the car but it won't start. The high pressure fuel system has been replaced with a new revision but still didn't solve the problem.

While filling the car with gas, engine off, fuel started pouring out the bottom of the car. At the dealership I was told that the fuel pump had a hole in it and that part of the wiring harness had melted. Extremely dangerous situation that could have resulted in fire, explosion, injury or worst. I have the repair order if needed.

While driving on freeway at 70 mph, the vehicle began to lose power in heavy traffic. I noticed on computer screen engine malfunction-reduced power. So, I manuvered to get to outside shoulder lane, and stopped the vehicle. It was sputtering at the time, and I turned the vehicle off for a few minutes. And then started it again and the problem had cleared itself, so I proceeded to my home. When I got home, I checked on the computer for online information, and saw a recall notice for this vehicle because of high pressure fuel pump failure, safety hazzard. The car was purchased last year from a dealer with only 40,000 miles on it, and at that time the dealer said, "the old owner traded it in on a new vehicle. " so, I have no record if this problem was recalled through this 1st owner or not? it acted exactly as the safety complaint explained, the loss of power with engine malfunction. I was fortunate to get off the freeway to a safe place to stop, with lack of power. It was strange to say the least, and the vehicle now has 45,000 miles on the odometer. (I looked up on the site for recalls and put in the VIN number, and the indication came back, no recall on this vehicle. It is ironic that this is the same type of incident that happened to cause major problems, enough to have an abc safety recall special, and I experience the same type of event that many others had. Please advise me of my next procedure to not experience this again. Troubled driver 7/1/2016.

My car stalled while driving around 50 mph on a 4-lane highway on 13 may 2016. It stopped in the middle of the road blocking traffic. I was able to back the car off the road (into oncoming traffic) with much difficulty because all systems were shut down. I called aaa and waited. The car started after I waited about 20 minutes and I cancelled the aaa tow. This happened several times before, the last time was when I had about 70,000 miles on the car. The car was recalled, I took it to the dealer and it did not happen again until last week. I now have 135,000 miles on the car. This is a very dangerous issue. I had to authorize the prescribed repair. This seems to be recurring defect that BMW should repair in all of these cars. Dealer tells be that it is a fuel pump and filter problem. This is not what was repaired at 70,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2008 BMW 535i. While driving approximately 60 mph, the fuel pump failed and the engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder and towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that both of the vehicle¿s fuel pumps were replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer and the fuel pump was replaced again due to a defective manufacturer¿s part. The failure mileage was 60,000.

The car engine *completely* shutdown while being driven, *without* any warning; had just exited major interstate highway (I-95), and was still on exit ramp when this happened. The car was still in motion, the driver, luckily, was able to bring the car to the side of the ramp without any other damage. Diagnosis by nearest BMW dealer service indicated a simultaneous short circuit in the ekps (controller?) module, a fault in the main (low pressure) fuel pump and another short circuit in fuel pressure sensor. All this happened, simultaneously, without warning, in a very well maintained, dealer-serviced, low mileage (42000 miles) BMW 535i (yr 2009) vehicle. The fact that the engine *completely* shutdown, on an exit ramp of a major highway, and could not be restarted created a very hazardous condition for the driver of the vehicle and for other drivers on the road was well. Had this happened on the highway itself, and not on the exit ramp, there could have been a serious accident. Car engines of this sort ought to have *significant amount of redundancy* built into them so they don't shut down while in motion due to a "sensor" short circuit. The amount of electronics being used in modern cars has increased exponentially, but I feel that the manufacturer may not have built enough safeguards / redundancies in their systems to prevent this from happening. This was a major malfunction in a moving vehicle (and this could have easily happened at high speeds as well; luckily it occurred at a slower speed on an exit ramp). Such incidents need to be investigated thoroughly.

Takata recall, I bought the car back in late August, at a dealership called deluxe auto located in linden, new jersey. The dealership offered me a warranty, 30 days free and 90 days to decide to get the warranty or not. The initial offer was about 60$ monthly, at 79k miles. After having the car for a month driving on the highway late at night the car starting shaking and turned off on the highway. Fuel pump errors. Car was towed off the highway. After a few hrs car started and ran normally. Went to the dealership, got warranty. The offer now was at 120$ a month. They did the job, car ran normally. Happened again in brooklyn, sent car back to dealer they said nothing came up on the computer, nothing they can do. After a few months same thing happened. This time in connecticut, sent it to the nearest mechanic shop, bill came to 850, not including towing 138$. Now back to my dealership, when I went to them to pay for the warranty, my father used his credit card, since then I figured it would charge it monthly automatically. That is not the case, as I found out the dealership said nothing they can do. Other problem, car started leaking oil, on oil housing unit, engine oil valve. Got them both fixed at about 500$ at a local mechanic shop. Now a week later, at 1am of March 7th of 2016 I'm starting the car, it turns on and gives an error "engine reduced power" and "engine pressure too low, shut off engine immediately ". I'm about to be 22, gonna start college soon, I have been making payments to a 20k car, on top of all the maintance problems that this dealership sold me and tricked me into. I dont know if me writing all this would help me in any way but this sucks, on top of me being trapped on a highway until a tow truck comes, in nyc, 2 times where cars fly by you I want that when dealership sell cars to be sure that the customers are safe driving them. I hope it helps.

Fuel system. Latley I have been driving me 2011 Bmws 535i and have been having some scary problems with it. Last week I was on the highway driving 65 mph when I noticed the power of car was turning on and off. (headlights, dash lights, car power everything) it then completely shut off on the freeway. Luckily I was close to the shoulder and pulled over. Prior to this incident, my car was left at the BMW dealership in san diego for a full inspection and nothing was brought to my attention. After doing some research, I see that I am one of the thousands that are experiencing this same problem. Fuel pump and injectors gone bad. Please push for a recall!.

Car stopped while on freeway moving at 50 miles per hour with my visually impaired grandchild very scary. Warning light came on fuel pump malfunction and car just stopped. Took it to conrad they say it is the high pressure fuel pump and I need to take it to BMW under recall BMW says it is the low pressure fuel pump but they are not sure it will fix the problem. BMW need to fix this problem I thank god we were not hit yesterday on the freeway.

Driving on the highway, engine stops. First warning "engine malfunction, reduced power. But it had already stopped. After narrowing missing traffic parked in breakdown lane. Next warning fuel pump failure. Car would not re-start for an hour until tow truck arrived. Had to be towed to BMW dealer. Dealer reports low pressure fuel pump. Engine died again at dealers.

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 535i. The contact received a notification for an extended warranty issued for the fuel pump. The contact had not experienced any failures related to the fuel pump; however, the contact was concerned that if the failure occurred it could lead to a serious injury or death. The manufacturer would not replace the fuel pump until a failure occurred. The failure mileage was 85,000.

Saturday sept. 6, 2014 @ 09:30hrs NY queens : started the vehicle a few times and every time within seconds the engine died out. BMW road assistance arranged to move the vehicle to the BMW of manhattan service center for repairs (at this time approximate mileage was 4000-4500 miles). Monday sept. 8, 2014 @ 11:00hrs: vehicle delivered to the dealership. Tuesday sept. 9, 2014 : was informed that the fuel pump was being tested. Wednesday sept. 10, 2014 : advised that fuel pump was ordered, was coming from 'out-of-state' - may not arrive until Monday. Thursday sept. 11, 2014 : updated that fuel pump had not yet arrived. Tuesday sept. 16, 2014 : I followed up on the status of the pending part and when the vehicle would be fixed. Friday sept. 19, 2014 : BMW responded: "the part is still on back order . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Backorder part means the part is not readily available and has to be released from germany . . . . . . ". The message further stated that some parts had arrived (no details provided) and the pending part(s) were expected coming Monday/Tuesday. Friday sept. 19, 2014 : I requested a copy of the detailed diagnostic report to have a clear idea of the problem and what part(s) needed to be replaced - I am yet to receive this report. Wednesday sept. 24, 2014 : was informed that techs were waiting for the additional part to arrive from germany. Thursday sept. 25, 2014 : was informed that the part from germany had still not arrived. Wednesday oct. 01, 2014 : again informed that the part had not yet arrived from germany. I am very concerned that I am not being given a complete diagnostic of what the problem is, given that it is a new vehicle purchased June 1, 2014. I find this an unacceptable situation. Thusday oct. 02, 2014 : today I have been informed that the part on back order is a fuel injector.

This is the second time I have my fuel pump replaced because it failed. The first time it happened while I was in the middle of an express way with fast moving cars. I believe that this pose a significant safety risk to the passengers because they could get run over by other cars. The car stalls without warning it just stops. I've complained to BMW about this and they pretend that there is no problem. They replaced the first fuel pump then it happened again and their solution is to replace the same part again. They need to figure out why its failing in the first place.

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.

Purchased a 2009 BMW 535i xdrive (VIN# wbanv93529c133841) in March 2013. In June of 2013 I began to have issues with the fuel system. The car was brought to my local BMW dealer and I was told there was an issue with one of the fuel injectors. They indicated the injectors were under recall however my car had already had the recall completed. Under further investigation it came to light that only three of the six injectors were replaced under the prior recall work. The dealership refused to replace the bad injector under the recall even though it was not one of the ones replaced under the original warranty work. They indicated they contacted Bmwna and that they refused to approve the replacement of the injector even though it was not dealt with under the original recall work. I ended up having my local BMW mechanic replace this injector. This November 2014 I began having an issue with another of the recalled injectors that had yet to be replaced. This injector while driving became loose and broke a fuel line damaging the cylinder head of the engine where the injector is located. Due to the damage to the head, the injector located in cylinder 5 continues to loose the o-ring. This renders the car undrivable. This is my third BMW and I have to say this is the first time I have ever had these kinds of problem. I have already had to replace the high pressure fuel pump, one fuel injector, water pump and crank seal. In addition the trunk leaks creating issues with my battery and sos system. I have learned though much research that this car model has many known problems with the fuel system, injectors, high pressure fuel pump, etc. I would appreciate someone looking into this and how the current issue with the injector and now head can be resolved since this injector should have been replaced under the original warranty work long before the head was damaged.

Once again nearly a month after my 2013 535i had its high pressure fuel pump replaced by BMW. The car decides to lose all power and not want to accelerate again while traveling on the freeway. The check engine light and drivetrain malfunction lights came on and the vehicle began shaking and sputtering. This car is not safe at all. The service advisor immediately recognized this problem and kind of blew it off by joking about how he thought BMW corrected this problem for all of their 135, 335, and 535, which is disturbing to now BMW has this problem and is still selling these vehicles. All it takes is for one time to have the wrong person traveling behind you and who knows if I would be here to even make a complaint.

While driving on the free way my brand new 535i had a drivetrain malfunction and the check engine light came on while losing power and slowing down all while shaking. Pushing the accelerator the car would not gain speed. When I called BMW they said to stop at the nearest BMW dealership which I did. After exiting the car would not shift out of first gear and refused to go faster than 20 miles an hour shaking the whole way to the dealer. They had my car for a week before saying they needed to replace the high pressure fuel pump then run more tests and that was 2 weeks ago. The fact that they would put someone back in that car is disturbing as though they do not care about their customers or families or even the other drivers around us as I was nearly rear-ended on the freeway.

The warning light came on. The vehicle information system said the fuel pump was malfunctioning. I took it to the dealer and they said the fuel pump failed.

My first incident occurred while I was traveling on I-185. My vehicle suddenly lost power and began sputtering and check engine light came on. This happened while traffic was heavy but miraculously I was able to merge over to the emergency lane and exit off the interstate. BMW dealership diagnosis it as a failed in-tank electric fuel pump and sensor. It was repaired and I paid 1254. 00. Unfortunately, a week later, I experienced another loss of engine power and check engine light came on while I was traveling on the interstate. This time BMW dealership told me they had to upgrade software and change out some injectors and that should solve my problem. I bought this car to drive it and not send it back and forth to the repair shop.

2009 BMW 335ix with 10,400 miles. Sudden high pressure fuel pump failure, causing immediate decrease in power, rough idle, and poor handling. Engine service icons illuminated. Car towed to dealer, dealer fixed problem, dealership service manager could not guarantee that it will not happen again as. . . "BMW is aware of these fuel pump failures. They are doing everything they can to solve the problem, but it has been a problem for several years now. " the manufacturer should have to disclose this potentially dangerous condition and deal with it effectively. . . Not with an extended warranty, but with the option returning the car until they fix the problem.
