Tl-the contact owns a 2011 BMW 5 Series. The contact stated that when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle did not restart. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence, where it was diagnosed by an independent mechanic that the timing chain failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v746000 (fuel system, gasoline). The approximate failure mileage was 48,000. Sg.
Nhtsa recall campaign 16v-746 was issued 13 oct 2016. To date BMW has yet to to notify us to schedule the repair of the defect - nearly 6 months after the recall was issued. We believe this an unacceptably long wait for which we have not seen any action from NHTSA or other federal authorities to compel BMW to accelerate compliance with the recall order. Are we going to have to wait for people to die in a fiery made for tv news accident before this is taken seriously??? fix my car!!.
