Other Fuel System Pump Problems of BMW X5 - part 2

Both airbags have been on the recall for over a year. . . . Are they not required to be in the vehicle, but working correctly? to wait for a recall over a year on something so important is very wrong! in addition there is another recall (oct 2016) on a fuel pump "could leak fuel during refueling or cornering" ive set up a service appointment Jan 20, 2017 and I'm told neither recall items will be addressed or repaired because parts. I'm also not offered a solution outside of "carefully move away from traffic" anyone driving the car, near the car or at the refueling location is at risk. . . How many of these vehicles are out there? more has to be done!! BMW should repair these ASAP or have them taken off the road. A year is unacceptable.

I received a recall notice about air bags in August. I have still not received notification of parts. My BMW X5 is now having another very debilitating problem. It shuts off, stalls, won't start, emites very toxic and strong fumes of burning gas when I start my car and when im idle ng. The engine light up s DE n, it shakes, it has no punch. I felt as though it was part of the other recall with the fuel pump and I took it to my local BMW dealership for diagnostics and they dismissed me, told me I had to pay more for more tests and that it absolutely was not the fuel pump recall. In the meantime I asked about the air bag recall and they said no they couldn't help. I complained and shaun ramirez of parts and service said fine, they would fix the airbags right then, but couldn't offer me a rental. After 3 hours and 3 hours more I could not stay because I had to work so he put that I regused recallvwork on my car which is absolutely not true. I just couldn't stay. I needed to make an appointment for acday that I was off but he was very unhelpful. Well yesterday I received thevpfgicial recall letter for the fuel pump and im shocked once again that there is no solution at this time. I have a car that is a ticking time bomb eaiting to explode. Thevfumes arr givibg me headaches, ive got 2 very dangerous recalls that say if I have problrms pull over and fo to dealership immediately. But nobody wants to help me.

BMW has taken longer than reasonable to address 3 recalls outstanding on this vehicle. The first recall is from a year ago re driver air bag. The second recall is from 9 months ago re passenger air bag. The third recall is from 4 months ago re in tank fuel pump. BMW has advised that parts will not become available for at least several months from now. BMW was unable to provide an precise dates. In the mean time, we have tried numerous times but been unable to sell our vehicle either privately or to a dealership. No one wants to buy this vehicle because of the long standing, unresolved recalls and BMW has refused to fix the issue earlier or offer any reasonable alternative solution.

My 2008 X5 sport 4. 8i with 76,000 miles in nor CA has had 3 petrifying episodes of engine stalling in the middle of the street while driving my kids to school and myself to work at low speed -sub 40mph in middle of 2016 and early 2017! thanks god we were saved and did not get rear ended from oncoming traffics because I was able to quickly pull the vehicle over into a side street and store plaza, but the incidents were frightful and traumatized our well-being! 2 out of 3 incidents, the vehicle could not be driven (made loud engine noise and could not start with engine light lid up) and it was towed to a BMW certified shop for repair. First and second incidents were the faulty fuel pump and the faulty oxygen sensor was for the third incident and both parts were replaced with the repair cost was more than $2000. I have had the faulty fuel pump issues repaired because safety of our family and safety of other drivers on the road comes first. BMW has recently issue the recall on faulty fuel pump late 2016 and the part will not be available until late spring 2017. BMW should voluntarily issue reimbursement notice for all of the repair costs on any recalled issues that were taken prior to the recalls posted to illustrate good faith to its customers. In early March 2017 we have decided to buy a reliable and safer vehicle (not a BMW) because our 2008 X5 4. 8i is not safe and too distressful for us to drive and also for the safety of other drivers on the road. For the amount of money we have paid for this sport 4. 8i X5 brand new in 2008, we nor anyone else would not expect that it has had many faulty and malfunction on its basic safety parts and also on other parts. BMW should get its act together and be accountable for all of these basic safety and reliable parts to live up to its name and theme as the ultimate driving machine and not as a potential ultimate killing machine!.

Takata recall - it has been about 9 months and there is still no repair parts for the driver side airbag. No parts also for the passenger airbag and now fuel pump.

I received 2 recall notices regarding this car; the air bag recall was issued on 2/5/2016 and the fuel pump recall was issued on 10/13/2016. No one representing BMW has contacted me yet to have these potentially life-threatening issues resolved. I feel that BMW should escalate their recall resolution process to fixing these recalls within weeks, not months. It has been too long to wait - especially considering I am one head-on crash away from being killed by flying shrapnel from the air bag, or having my car seize suddenly at 65 mph because the fuel pump stopped working. These recalls are not cosmetic - they're very serious safety issues and need quick resolution.

The contact owns a 2011 BMW X5. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v746000 (fuel pump); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

In-tank fuel pump. BMW has not scheduled a service appointment to resolve issue. Recall campaign no. 16v-746 , they claim no parts are available.

This is involving the recall issued for my vehicle involving the in tank fuel pump. . . BMW still has not fixed this issue, I have called our local dealer in cicero, new york and was told the parts are still not available. The recall was issued over 6 mos ago and my vehicle's inspection was due in March and they will not pass it because the emissions issue causes the check engine light to be on. So I keep getting tickets because I am an attorney and need my car to drive all over for work. Its ridiculous that this issue has not been repaired in over 6 mos and I keep getting the same excuse from the dealer. Also, the airbag recalls have not been addressed either presenting another danger if I am in an accident.

While driving on interstate in high speed lane engine suddenly lost power creating danger of rear end collision. In moving to break down lane engine continued to run but would not propel the vehicle over 5 mph. This problem had occurred two weeks previously when the vehicle was towed to BMW dealer for service. At that time the vehicle was electronically diagnosed and no faults were found or repairs made. The vehicle was again towed to the BMW dealer and no electronic faults were found. This time a mechanical diagnosis was performed and fuel pressure was found to be 12 psi rather that the 55 psi specified. Subsequently the contacts in the fuel pump relay were found to be burned, the fuel filter and pressure regulator were found to contain metal shards, the fuel pump showed no external signs of damage. All items were replaced at which time fuel pressure returned to 55 psi and the vehicle was able to be driven normally. The conclusion is that the fuel pump can fail internally which cannot be detected by electronic diagnosis and returning a car to the road without performing the mechanical diagnoses specified in the factory service literature is a dangerous and negligent practice by this particular BMW dealer's service department and may indicate an inherent flaw in the manufacture of the fuel pump. Parts replaced: 61 36 8 373 700 relay 16 12 6 754 016 fuel filter pressure regulator 16 11 6 768 357 fuel pump.

On September 2, around midnight, after about 30 minutes of stop and go traffic at the border, my 2008 BMW sav X5 awd 4dr 3. 0i coughed, choked, stopped and refused to be revived. We were at the front of a long line of folks heading through customs into canada. Yes, at the head of the line. It was so embarrassing! after fussing for another 30 minutes trying to get it into neutral, several able bodied canadian customs officers pushed it into their country. The tow truck driver came another 40 minutes later and took us to a BMW service shop in montreal. Sirs, what's so hard to swallow about this breakdown is that we completed the routine maintenance service on the car just 7 days before at new country BMW in hartford, CT. With the exception of a negligible oil leak that they said was no problem, I was assured that my car was fine. But, it turns out that it was not; and like an increasingly large number of Bmws, the fuel pump failed. What's more, it is clear to me now that, back in 2014, the car was failing to start and would cut off while driving around my town (I was too afraid to take it on the highway at that time). On more than one occasion, I took it in for servicing and eventually it was 'fixed (though the fuel pump was never replaced until this last failure). And so, I suspect that I have paid for a manufacturing defect at least three times and I'm sick of it. I think that BMW should reimburse me for the repair and the cost of towing and the rental to leave CA and return to pick up the car.

The fuel pump suddenly failed while driving on the highway at 75 mph (legal speed limit) with no warning and caused a stall condition. I noticed they (BMW) have a new recall for up to the 2011 model year but they need to include the 2012 as well.

Takata recall. . . . . . . No remedy yet, I have been waiting now close to 2 years. After speaking with 3 different dealers in my area, I'm told they have no idea when either recall will be fixed because the manufacturer has no parts. . . . . Gas smell in vehicle when driving , fuel pump recall, however, no timetable for fixing.

The vehicle experienced a high pressure fuel pump failure. Upon merging on to a highway the following symptoms occurred: backfiring, loss of power, misfires, and reduced engine performance. The vehicle was unable to maintain nominal fuel pressure in the fuel rail. The high pressure fuel pump was replaced as per BMW service documentation which required the replacement of the throttle body gasket, and 2 aluminum bolts securing wiring harness to the engine block. There were numerous fault codes present. All were consequential except for "002c01 high pressure fuel, plausibility pressure too low".

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 BMW X5. While driving at low speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. When the ignition key was turned to the on position, the vehicle hesitated to start. The failures recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the intake fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 16v071000 (air bags), 16v364000 (air bags), and 16v746000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the parts to do the repairs were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,800. VIN tool confirms parts not available and parts distribution disconnect.

Bill pearce BMW (billpearcebmw. Com/) in reno, nv has in no way resolved these recalls in a timely manner. I have made at least 10 calls over the last 17 months to their service/parts department to inquire on availability of replacement parts. The engine is not running at its optimal level and is potentially getting damaged as a result of the faulty fuel pump that is under recall. I am driving at my and my family's risk due to both airbags and fuel pump not meeting safety regulations and BMW is being negligent in treating these 3 recalls as a priority. I have also escalated the matter to BMW customer relations on 7/26/17 and am awaiting their response. There is no incident related to this complaint, but I strongly believe the vehicle is not safe to drive. I have indicated the date of the first communication received by BMW as well as uploaded a pdf version of their initial notification.

Over one year there are 3 recall incomplete with my car: 1. Feb 05, 2016 NHTSA recall number16v071, driver's front air bag 2. May 13,2016 NHTSA recall number16v311 front driveshaft 3. Oct 13,2016 NHTSA recall number16v746 in-tank fuel pump.

Takata recall, in 3/2016, BMW sent me a notice to replace driver's front air bag module, however until now, BMW does nothing. In December 2016, BMW sent me a notice to replace in-tank fuel pump because my BMW smells gas badly when parking and driving. However until now, again BMW does nothing. I appreciate your consideration for safety.

The high pressure fuel pump along with high pressure fuel pump sensor and injector has failed, causing the engine to reduce power and making it an unsafe condition to drive at highway speed.

Car had 56000 miles on it, at 99500 motor went, then air springs,parking brake, takata recall,when the transmission,vacuum pump, and how the recall on the fuel pump. Today the I drive went out in total myself and the warranty company have spend over 24000. Dollars on a car that per BMW is the ultimate driving machine, more like junk!!! and no parts in sight to repair the air bags or the fuel pump. I think a class action should be filed. I'm 58 years old not 18 I take good care of my cars. The car value on kelly blue book is only 12000. We need help to make BMW stand behind where quality not their hand in our back pockets, no car that cost 77500. 00 in 2007 should have all these problems. A Ford or chevy would do better. I've been told that BMW knew there was a problem with the 2007-2010 X5 with the 4. 8 I engine and I drive but never made it good, just ask anyone that owned one. My last one I think kia would hold up better!!!!!!!!!!!! by the way the car has 125200 now, I'm afraid to drive it, it just quits with no warning.

The power cable going to the in-tank fuel pump burnt up, melting the pump housing and melting the insulation on the wires in the tank. When I took it to the dealer they said it was a known issue and that new firmware will fix the issue to reduce how much current the pump draws, they said there was no recall or warranty on this item. The vehicle could have caught on fire with wires getting hot enough to melt the insulation in the fuel tank! how could this not have been a recall?.

Vehicle shut down on busy road had it towed to work shop. Mechanic said hpfp fuel pump failure common problem . Rallye BMW said no warranty refuse to change it.

While driving at around 35 mph, engine started to stutter, shake violently, then completely shut off, leaving no power assist to steering or brakes. Vehicle remained dead in the middle of a heavily traveled two lane road. After attempting to restart several dozen times, vehicle finally stayed on enough to pull to side of road, then shut down again. Again after numerous attempts to restart, vehicle was able to turm the corner onto a residential street where it proceeded to shut down once again. Engine failure message appeared on vehicle information display as well as engine warning lights on dashboard. While waiting for tow truck, the vehicle sat for 15 minutes before I attempted to restart. After about a dozen attempts, vehicle restarted, but this time with no error messages or dashboard warning lights. After several additional stalls, vehicle restarted but this time with the vehicle information display indicating "engine malfunction" and additional wording stating "reduced power available" (limp home mode) and "safe to drive". Based on the message and the fact the car restarted, I attempted to drive home. On the highway (long island expressway) while approaching highway speeds (45 mph) the engine again shook violently, stumbled, and shut off leaving no power steering or power brakes. Unfortunately, a tractor trailor was bearing down on my position from the rear and nearly struck my vehicle, due to the sudden power loss and catastrophic engine failure. Beyond the failure of the high pressure fuel pump (per BMW dealership), the vehicle information system is flawed as it did not remember the first catastrophic engine failure and instead reset itself. It advised although there was an engine malfunction, it was safe to drive with reduced power available. A catastrophic engine event like that should result in a warning and advisement not to drive the vehicle.

In tank fuel pump that causes the check engine light to come on and a obvious burnt rubber smell to permeate inside the vehicle cabin after fueling and driving the car home and parking it in the garage.

After the check engine light came on we took our vehicle to a local shop conway motors in everett, wa. Conway motors diagnosed the problem as a fuel pump and the wiring was burnt connecting the fuel pump. Mark at conway motors called BMW to see if there was a recall and was surprised when BMW parts in seattle stated there was not a recall but they were familiar with the problem and there had been other similar complaints with burnt wiring connected to the fuel pump. Mark advised we could not drive the vehicle and we were lucky the vehicle had not exploded. My wife drives this vehicle daily to work and BMW is aware of the issue but has not done a recall is totally unacceptable and put my wife's life in danger.

The contact owns a 2010 BMW X5. While driving 30 mph, the engine shook, smoke appeared, and the engine stalled. There was no fire. The engine malfunction indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to BMW of denver downtown (1040 s colorado blvd, denver, CO 80246 (303) 954-4856) where it diagnosed that the secondary fuel pump and the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,220.

On December 26, 2012, while driving north at a high speed in heavy traffic in the second lane on a four lane segment of highway 11 kenoelehua highway at its merging junction with the highway 130 keaau bypass road, an engine partial malfunction occurred causing deceleration and a complete engine shut down on the road shoulder. On January 4, 2013, after retrieving the vehicle from replacement of the low pressure fuel pump pursuant to the December 26, 2012 malfunction, while driving north at a high speed in heavy traffic on highway 19 queen kaahumanu highway after recovering the vehicle from the BMW of hawaii repair shop, an engine partial malfunction occurred causing a deceleration and a complete engine shut down on the road shoulder.
