The high-pressure fuel pump failed/disintegrated and released metal debris into the entire fuel system and most likely into the engine. The car stalled and shut off in the middle of intersection and almost caused a crash. The entire fuel system will need to be replaced due to the intrusion of the metal fragments into the fuel system.

Driveshaft failed during normal driving conditions on normal road. Dealership said bearing in driveshaft u-joint seized, caused driveshaft to fail. This also lead to the transmission pan falling down. Parts are not available for inspection as repairs have already been made and old parts were not kept. Had to pull over mid drive on the side of the road, potential to be dangerous. Dealership diagnosed issue. Vehicle was only looked at by manufacturer/dealership. There were no warning lights or messages leading up to the incident. Only symptom was severe shaking of the car 20-30 seconds before I pulled over to investigate, and I saw the driveshaft hanging out the bottom of the car.

My wife was driving with my kids on the highway here in san diego. When the vehicle stalled and luckily she was near the shoulder and was able to pull over. We took it to the shop and they stated it was a fuel pump failure. I have never had a car do this it was crazy dangerous for my kids and my wife. I have read so many complaints on this and yet BMW will take no fault for this. Then they want to give me a repair bill of 17k because when these fuel pumps fail they destroy the whole fuel system that touches diesel needs to repaired. I am so upset this is crazy that’s this legal to produce a car like this and there is not a class action lawsuit.

The diesel X5 randomly shut off and would not start leaving my wife stranded on the highway. This left my wife without power steering or power brakes. It was acting a little weird a day or so before the issue, but only displayed a generic powertrain warning without storing any ecm codes to assist with diagnosis. After the engine died, the engine stored a low fuel pressure code. The bosch cp4 high pressure fuel pump failed just outside of the warranty period. Initial repair estimates are greater than $10,000 due to the way the high pressure fuel pump fails.

High-pressure fuel pump failed, sending metal shards throughout the entire fuel system. Vehicle has 133,000 miles.

I own a 2011 BMW X5. The NHTSA shows 15 recalls for my vehicle type; however, NHTSA must be relying upon BMW for the VIN numbers 1. ) my vehicle doesn't show up for recalls; 2. ) I have never been contacted by BMW for many of those recalls - in fact, I have not received a letter from BMW in many many years, and among the 15 recalls above, I have never received any notification of for at least October 20, 2023 NHTSA campaign number: 23v707000 camshaft timing bolts may loosen causing stall loose or broken vanos unit bolts can result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. April 18, 2018 NHTSA campaign number: 18v248000 electric auxiliary water pump failure October 30, 2017 NHTSA campaign number: 17v683000 pcv heater may short circuit March 2, 2017 NHTSA campaign number: 17v138000 front driveshaft universal joint may fail may 17, 2016 NHTSA campaign number: 16v311000 front driveshaft universal joint may fail. When I call BMW, they say there are no recalls outstanding on my vehicle and this NHTSA states there are recalls, but does not associate my VIN with the recalls, so say there are no recalls outstanding. The most prominent recent issue was that when my BMW dealership diagnosed a check engine light in my vehicle, they wanted to replace a scr def active tank for $3,000, but it turned out that BMW had an almost 100% failure rate for the same part and issued an extended warranty for this part under their technical bulletin si b01 23 16. They denied replacing the parts under the warranty stating that it was limited to 10 years/120,000 miles. I had only 101,600 miles on my car, but they stated the 10 year limited out the warranty from the in-service date. However, my car had many emission system related issues including just a few years previous.

I am writing to formally document two significant incidents involving the complete failure of the high-pressure fuel system in my BMW vehicle, VIN [xxx] , which have raised concerns about the reliability of this component. On [xxx], while navigating city street traffic, my vehicle, with 57,376 miles, experienced a total loss of power, resulting in the vehicle stalling in the left lane. The vehicle was towed to an authorized BMW dealership, where the entire high-pressure fuel system was diagnosed and replaced under warranty. As the second owner of this vehicle, I acquired it from my neighbor, the original owner. Upon reviewing the complete service records provided by the previous owner, I discovered that a nearly identical issue occurred at 39,066 miles. The service documentation states, "client reports that while driving, the vehicle lost power and stalled. " at that time, the high-pressure fuel system was also fully replaced. Further investigation revealed that BMW issued a safety recall notice between these two incidents, acknowledging potential failures in the high-pressure fuel pumps. However, the recall indicated that no remedy was available at the time. I've attached all the service records for both incidents and BMW north America's letter. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The fuel pump catastrophically failed and caused the vehicle to suddenly break down (engine stall) while driving 65 mph on the freeway. There is metal in the system according to the mechanic. Numerous parts will need to be replaced and in essence the car no longer has value because of the number and severity of issues experienced. Mileage is 160,000. I see that two recalls have been put forth for similar issues for BMW X5’s produced around the same time as mine (campaign ids 21v586000 and 21v907000) but the recalls for some reason don’t cover my specific VIN. I think the recalls should also cover my VIN.

I was driving approximately 30 mph. As I continued to accelerate the fuel system light came on and the car shut off in the road. I had to have it towed to the dealership as it would not start. Gas fumes could also be smelled coming from the car. Once looked at by BMW service center I was told “ ekps and the fuel pump are intermittently failing. I was able to able to verify the concern briefly. Vehicle may lose fuel pressure randomly. Upon removing rear seats and inspecting harness, I found the wires going into the ekps to be burnt. The wires from the ekps to the low pressure fuel pump will also need to be replaced. ” I did research and saw that this was recall on other years of this model. Also the middle back seatbelt does not work. Also even after multiple alignments my car still pulls aggressively to the right causing near collisions and off roaring.

My 2008 BMW X5 4. 8i almost caught fire. The fuel pump connector is burnt into the fuel pump harness. My local mechanic said this was like a ticking time bomb. The issue is these trucks are known for this problem and there was a recall for this but my VIN coming up with no recalls when this truck is clearly apart of the bad batch , I have pictures for proof.

Subject: consequential damage and failure of remedy regarding recall 24v-608 incident description: "I am reporting a failure of the manufacturer to provide an effective remedy for safety recall 24v-608 (electric water pump) and subsequent consequential damage to the high-voltage battery system. In September 2023, at approximately 78,000 miles, this vehicle exhibited 'drivetrain malfunctions' including fault code 0x222626 (eme: internal fault - active short circuit requested) and 0x22271c (overvoltage in intermediate circuit). The BMW dealer (fields BMW) failed to diagnose the root cause and instructed me to 'keep driving'. Since the release of recall 24v-608, it is clear these 2023 faults were early indicators of the coolant pump short-circuiting. This persistent electrical instability has now resulted in a permanent failure of cell supervision circuit #3, causing the high-voltage contactors to open and leaving the vehicle disabled. The dealer is currently attempting to charge for diagnostics and battery removal. I am asserting that the lack of a timely remedy for the coolant pump (which was only recently shielded per the recall) caused a power surge that 'fried' the internal battery circuitry. This is a safety issue as the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of propulsion while in motion. I request that NHTSA investigate BMW’s refusal to cover battery failures caused by the electrical interference of the recalled coolant pump. ".

We are 900 miles from home driving on the interstate, and received an error message saying that there was a drive train malfunction and we had to stop the car immediately. We were in the middle of nowhere, but able to pull over and turn the car off, and contacted roadside assistance. We were unable to start the car again. We were told there was a major malfunction of the drive train power supply and we could not operate the vehicle until it had been inspected at a service center 2 hours away. This vehicle is brand new with less than 2000 miles on it, and this is the second issue we have encountered with it. We had another sensor error pop up 3 days after purchase, and had to take this car into the dealership for 10 days. We have actually been driving this car for less than 2 weeks. This is completely unacceptable and dangerous. The car is unsafe to drive and we have no way of getting back to our home state. Roadside assistance has been unable to locate a tow truck to take us to the nearest town, and we are still sitting on the side of a dark road.

Drive train malfunction came on and veh started to act very different like check engine lights and a lack of power !!! had it sent back to the dealer they switch #4 coil pack to # 5 and the code cleared . Then about 1500 miles later the same thing happen ,so I changed plugs& wires and still the same thing happen again so then I received a p0100 code and p0172 so I changed the pcv and both mas sensors plus the turbo filters !!!!! still no change ?????.

The engine light came on while I was 250 miles from home and on a Saturday. Was able to contact my dealer's service department who said to drive home and just monitor for any issues and hopefully it will be ok. I brought the vehicle in for diagnostic check following week. Faults were for the diesel particulate filter sensor and recommended $1300. Replacement. They couldn't tell me if this part would impair the driving ability of the vehicle, but the cost seemed excessive for a sensor so I haven't made the repair yet (nor driven far) pending checking more into this. They said the vehicle may go into limp mode at any time which would be a safety issue. This sensor has been on a limited warranty extension-10 years/120,000 miles for the same model/engine as mine for 2014-2015 models (mine is 2016). Sib010418 with 2016 x3 added in 2019. I have to ask why the 2016 yr with a faulty sensor like mine is not part of this extended warranty?? my vehicle has 80k miles and 8 yrs old. . And the dealer says the part is faulty.

My vehicle has a check engine light with the following codes: 24bc00 - injector, cylinder 5, zero-quantity adapation: activation duration correction too high 24bf00 - injector, cylinder 2, zero-quantity adapation: activation duration correction too high 24bd00 - injector, cylinder 3, zero-quantity adapation: activation duration correction too high per bulletin sib 01 09 19, I am aware that the manufacturer's warranty has been extended to 10 years/120,000 miles for f15 (x5 xdrive35d) models produced from 1/5/16-9/2/17 and that my car was produced prior to those dates. I am also aware that this extension applies to f10 (535d xdrive sedan) using the same n57t engine that my 2015 X5 xdrive 35d has. I am asking for the model year dates to be reviewed and model year 2015 vehicles added to the list as I have faulty injectors that should be covered as well.

Vehicle stopped three times on highway. There is an issue with fuel injection. I am repairing the same thing every year and it is stopping every year on highway. They keep on repairing/replacing the module and I still get the problem. I missed a big rear collision because of this. This model has so many issues. Suspension broke. So many issues with gas pump. Being it a first generation hybrid, it can cause threat to so many people if we let these vehicles be on road.

The owner owns a 2014 BMW X5 35d. Owner was driving 35 mph at time of incident. Vehicle was working fine, no issues. All of a sudden, a drive train warning came up and the vehicle slowed down, stalled and shifted into neutral automatically. There was no warning or any indication prior to this, which is a bit scary. The owner was able to veer to into a parking lot. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was later towed to a BMW dealership for further testing. It was determined that the high-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) had failed and that the entire fuel system needed to be replaced due to the intrusion of metal fragments into the fuel system. The vehicle is still with the dealer after over two weeks. Currently, the owner has been charged a diagnostics fee. Costs to repair this issue are near $20k usd. Dealership advised owner that the vehicle not be repaired due to a high possibility of the engine having damage from metal fragments/debris. So now what?.

We purchased the car June 3rd 2023. Since purchase the car has given a check engine light over6 times and the expansion valves have been replaced. It has spend 50+ days in service since purchase. On 1/26/24 the high voltage system light cam eon and the car is back for repairs for 7 days and still not resolved. The automated parking systems are prone to errors and have nearly cased accidents. Luckily I intervened and stopped using them. The esim features that are advertised do not work. I have spoken to BMW na and hey have not been helpful.

High pressure fuel pump failure. I was driving down the road when it stalled with no warning whatsoever and it put itself in park in the middle of the road, I had five other people with me that were put in serious danger. The dealership confirmed that it was in dead the problem, but there was no warning light nothing whatsoever.

Been having issues with the car for over a month, changed water pump thermostat fuel pump, but it still would crank, got another diagnostic and now I have an engine leak, and frm ) a serious electrical problem, I feel like some of these things should have been done before the dealer sold the car, I’m asking for help, with getting my car fixed or replaced.

Hi, here to report and solicit the assistance of the NHTSA to keep us safe. Thanks for everything you do! our 2015 X5 (f15) diesel with the n57t motor had check engine light illuminate @~61k miles while driving normally at surface street speeds. This was within one-month of BMW performing its second mandatory egr cooler recall (once in 2020 and again in 2023), NHTSA campaign number 21v907000 for fire potential. BMW dealership advised the check engine was due to fuel injector #6 failure. I asked the dealership if this (could) be related to the recent egr replacement they performed and was advised no. The egr cooler and fuel injectors are directly related, so this was surprising. Furthermore, there are loads of forums online that point to this, plus two active, safety recalls for the n57t motors including fuel injectors and the high pressure fuel pump (hpfp). My biggest concern is Bmws hpfp safety recall sib130121 affecting 2014-2018 n57t motors - issued on 7/29/21 (coincidently, my birthday;-) it's dangerous that BMW will not proactively replace the hpfp, even when experiencing ongoing fuel system issues (2x egr coolers and now injectors) that may be tied to a potential hpfp failure. I won't wait for a catastrophic failure for what is an existing and well known recall. This is well documented across forums so it's concerning the NHTSA ok'd BMW's 10yr/120k mile "warranty extension" vs full, mandatory recall. BMW should be accountable and replace the hpfp before catastrophic power loss occurs at the wrong time/wrong place. When it does, I wanted to ensure this record was on file with you agency for insurance purposes. Second concern is for sib010919. Injector recall is for 2016&17 X5 diesels with the n57t engine, plus other diesel models from 2015/16&17. Online, deep-dive research revealed a gap, where the 2015 X5 diesels (again with the n57t motor) were excluded. While this is not a severe as the hpfp, can the agency advise why 2015's were missed? many thanks!!.

Ive been experiencing drive train problems with my vehicle and upon research ive concluded that not just only me but many people with the same vehicle as mine have been having transfer case/driveshaft/differential problems and the scary part is that no codes pop up for this issue!! I've already took it to many shops ive even took it to an official BMW dealership and they dont seem to help but the real reason im reaching out is because I nearly had a near death experience related to this issue on the freeway. . The vehicle seemed to shake violently and felt like it wanted to seize up while driving and had to do an emergency pull over but once again it doesnt throw no codes and not only that I've already spent thousand of dollars into this car for it to react like that while driving! please ???? hear me out and help me resolve this as soon as possible. . Thank you - mr. Solano.

My 2008 BMW X5 was taken to a shop to be diagnosed due to diagnosis as followed:( low coolant light coming on) “coolant crossover pipe from timing belt cover leaking” it is available for inspection, although it is not safe to drive. The low coolant light went off after I put more in it and did not come back on. Me and my then 10 month old were picking my 14 year old up from school and I noticed smoke pouring out of the hood. There was no warning lights or anything. Then the air conditioner started to blow smoke out as well. I cut the car off and it continued to smoke for approximately an hour. The car was about to catch on fire with no warning lights and the hazardous smoke out of the vents. The problem was diagnosed by dan’s auto center. I can not move my car because it will smoke at the engine and cause a fire risk. The low coolant sensor came on a few days after purchased. I took it to get it diagnosed and the cost from that place quoted approximately 3,000 dollars. I put coolant in it and did not drive it for awhile. The sensor went off and the coolant was still full. There were no signs, no sensor, no overheating, just all the sudden huge clouds of smoke coming from my hood of the car. BMW has a lot of recalls for this same situation, but my car (year) is not listed. I do not understand this. Please add my car to the list, this is a 2000 to 3000 job and I have to get my car towed to a place if I ever can. Can I take this to a BMW place and ask them to fix due to other recalls? this was very scary for me and my children. “the egr cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles, a melting intake manifold, and potentially fire,”according to BMW.

I brought my 2017 X5 xdrive40e to my local dealer (ray catena in white plains NY) after getting a ‘drivetrain malfunction” error. After several weeks at the dealer, and thousands of dollars in repairs, I’m being told today that: -the car needs a new electric drive… cost $12,000 -the replaced electric drive may not solve the issue, which might be the transmission. . Replacement cost $16,000 so almost $30k to perhaps solve the issue on a car with a $19,000 value per kelly bluebook. And this is a known issue for hybrid X5s per multiple BMW owner websites. . Here is one: https://g05. Bimmerpost. Com/forums/showthread. Php?t=1887640 my dealer is telling me that the value of this car is currently zero ($0. 00) which I find to be absolutely ridiculous.

Electric fuel going on.

The vehicle backfires and stalls on the road due to Bmws defective pcv crankcase valve. The valve put pressure inside engine which it couldn't handle causing a blown gasket and oil leak, the leak fell on the serpentine belt and ac belt and they slipped off. Causing the power steering to lock up on me while driving. The engine has a whistling noise coming from it. I'm parking and towing to BMW. I can diagnose it without there scanner. This is crazy and very dangerous.

The vehicle’s gas tank has a leak on top the cabin fills with the smell of gasoline. After a smoke test was done, the test showed a leak coming from the top of the tank between the tank and the inlet for gasoline refill.

There is an open recall on BMW X5d and other BMW diesel models due to a fire hazard, the recall warns of an egr code warning on the vehicle. My 2013 BMW X5d 3. 5 has that warning code, however BMW claims that there isn’t a recall on it. My VIN is 5uxzw0c57d0b95714, and for the last 5 or 6 years I was told by the guy who was my rep at the dealership there was a possible recall, but BMW was having issues keeping up with demand for the parts. Now I have this warning, the dealership is denying the warranty. Yet I’m still at risk.

I purchased the vehicle in Feb 2022. I received a call from my dealer about the recall last week, they said they would perform the repair on 01/26/23. I picked the vehicle up the next day without them having performed the repair because the VIN still shows "remedy not available". The dealer did not even assess the safety issue when the car was brought in. I do not know if the car is safe to drive. Neither the dealer nor BMW have set expectations for when the recall is to be performed. What do I do next?.

The vehicle lost power and would barely accelerate while I was driving on the capital beltway in the DC area. When I took it to the mechanic, we found out that several of the fuel injectors were bad. I researched this issue and found that these vehicles are prone to having this problem and the NHTSA has several service bulletins to address this issue (e. G. Si b01 03 15 ). However, it looks like this specific vehicle is not covered by the extended warranty even though the part numbers on the 2012 covered vehicles are exactly the same! bwm should be held responsible for this.

I was accelerating from a green light in electric only mode, once nearing 25 mph, felt a single strong jolt that caused acceleration to pause, the hybrid mode automatically kicked in and acceleration continued under engine power. Received several warnings and alerts on the display- stop carefully: power supply drivetrain malfunction continued driving possible: drivetrain electric drive limited I was fortunate enough to continue driving the final 1/2 mile to my parking lot at work. After work, the engine started with the same errors as above and attempted to move, but the engine was making strange cycles of revving high and low. I called roadside and as I idled waiting for a tow truck to arrive, the gas engine began revving high again, then low, then sputtered, then shut off and would not turn back on, leaving me in the cold. Fuel was about 1/2 tank, battery was at least 30%. Tow arrived and tried to restart to drive it up the tow ramp but the 12v battery ended up depleting in the process so it had to be winched. Jump box required to get it into neutral.

Ongoing issues with the engine and turbochargers in this SUV. Give no warning of an issue and lose power while driving. Replaced one of the turbocharges in 2017. The car is now smoking, smells like something is burning, using a lot of oil, and losing power, and now being told both turbocharges need to be replaced. Dealer, downtown BMW in denver, CO who did repairs in 2017 on turbo did not report the previous repairs in car repair history.

Vehicle died while driving, luckily it happened when pulling in to a store versus on the busy highway that we had just been traveling on, would not restart. BMW roanoke determined it to be a failed diesel injection pump. If this had occurred on the highway it could have been a very dangerous situation. I had found that previous and later models of this vehicle have been recalled for this issue, but not the 2013 model. Which seems odd since the 2013 uses the same or a very similar diesel injection pump. The repair cost is more the vehicle value.
