My vehicle is having a recall regarding the in-tank fuel pump since October 2016 BMW of san diego has failed to provide a replacement part in a timely manner and BMW of el cajon has just provided the necessary part for my personal vehicle I have waited almost a year for a part to be provided for my vehicle.

Other issues regarding the engine could be in question due to the fact that the engine rarely shuts by itself when starting the ignition, also there is a problem involving cold starts in most BMW vehicles and my car is not an exception. The engine shutting off by itself is a special concern because this may mean there are other faulty parts located deep within the vehicle.
