Very scary and dangerous to have vehicle failure abruptly with no resolution or warning?. My 2008 BMW 750li with 57,000 miles started next day with check engine light remained for a few hours then off. This vehicle is garaged well maintained not to mention California good weather conditions. This now has happened 3 times in two months. This should be recalled. I am afraid to take this BMW vehicle too far of distance or on highways due to transmission failure incidents. Major defect. ! vehicle becomes resistant to drive when this happens. I almost got in a major collision due to this mechanical defect problem. Should I be killed or injured by an unforeseen accident do to this would be tragic!.

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 750li. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate. In addition, the contact noticed fuel fumes coming through the air vents. The engine warning light illuminated as "drive train malfunction, drive at moderate speed" was displayed across the message board. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,000.
When entering the on ramp to merge onto the highway. I accelerated to merge into traffic and car vibrated violently and would not accelerate. I continued to press the accelerator but nothing happened and a message appeared on the display. Now, I'm stuck between the on ramp and the highway with a tractor trailer rapidly approaching. He barely has enough space to merge to his left and avoids rear ending me. This could have been catastrophic. I continued to press the accelerator and nothing happened. I put my hazards on and quickly read the message. It read, "maximum engine output not available. " so, I turned the car off and restarted it, and it worked fine for a few hundred feet until I tried to accelerate. It did the exact same thing but this time it allowed me to creep along at 35 mph. I pulled over into the emergency lane and turned it off and on again, and it worked as normal. But this time I just continued to drive to work at 35 mph. During work, I scheduled a service appointment the next day. After work, I pulled out of my parking space and something popped and once again it stalled. After turning it on and off again, I was able to drive it home. The next day at the dealership, I was informed of the customer care package (recall). But what I didn't know at that time, the car had already been recalled with the previous owner. A lot of the same work was duplicated. Btw, this is a 2012 750li with 37,000 at the time of the second occurrence. The first occurrence happened at 29,931. It happened again 2 months later. This vehicle is unpredictable and you don't know when it will stall on you. The last repair reduced the powertrain output and takes a deep gasp before accelerating. Please read BMW's customer care service. The number of repairs are too numerous to list on the remainder of this thread.
