2012 BMW 528I Complaints

I HAVE A OCT 2011 BMW 528I AND IT STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 45 MILES PER HOUR ON A VERY BUSY STREET ON 03/13/2018. THE SERVICE INDICATOR FOR THE FUEL PUMP ILLUMINATED. IT WOULD NOT RESTART, SO IT WAS TOWED. THE CAUSE WAS A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE DIDN'T CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T ACCEPT MY CAR AS THE RECALL BECAUSE THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN OCT 2011, BUT IT HAS THE SAME FAILURE AS THE OTHER CAR THAT WAS RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 BMW 528I. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED AND BECAME INOPERABLE. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS CALLED (BOB SMICH BMW, 818-346-3144) AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V746000 (FUEL SYSTEM), ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE RECALL OF A FUEL PUMP MODULE BUT THE VIN IS NOT LISTED SO RECALL DOES NOT EFFECT MY CAR. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE AND DANGEROUS LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR STARTED TO HESITATE, DIDN'T ACCELERATE, AND SHUT DOWN. WHILE TURNING OUT OF THE GAS STATION ONTO THE MAJOR ROAD, IT STALLED. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART IT. AFTER THE THIRD TRY IT RESTARTED. ONCE AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND A MESSAGE CAME UP ABOUT THE POWERTRAIN.

VEHICLE WAS STARVED OF OIL. NO WARNING SHOWED UP IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VECHLE DIED ON A HIGH SPEED ROADWAY AND COULD NOT BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL TO GET IT TO A SAFE LOCATION OFF THE ROAD. THE TOW OPERATORS COULD NOT MOVE IT EITHER. CARS WERE SWERVING AND BRAKING TO AVOID HITTING MY VEHICLE. BMW TOLD ME TH OIL ISSUE WAS MY FAULT. COME TO FIND OUT THERE ARE 2 LETTERS SENT FOR WARRANTY EXTENSIONS FOR OIL PUMP DRIVE CHAIN AND ENGINE OIL FEED LINE. BECAUSE I DO MY OWN OIL CHANGES BMW STATED THE OIL ISSUE WAS MY FAULT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT BE A WARRANTY EXTENSION BUT AN OFFICIAL RECALL! THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUES WHEN THIS CAR DIES IN THE ROADWAY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!!!

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND CAR STOPPED. DEALER SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE ON A 3 YR OLD CAR. ENGINE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.A FEW YEARS LATER THE DRIVE SHAFT FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING. BELIEVE IT WAS RELATED TO REMOVING ENGINE AND NOT SECURING ALL PARTS. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO A 5 YR OLD CAR? DEALER NOR BMW USA WOULD NOT COVER THE 2800 COSTS.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK AND IT JUST CUT OFF , I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED MY CAR THIS WAS IN MAY 2017 AND ON JULY 13 2017 I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND STOP SIGN TURNED GREEN AND I PUSH ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR CUT OFF AGAIN .

VEHICLE ENGINE DIED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE MOVING IN 55MPH TRAFFIC. COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL TO MOVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL VEHICLES. VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS! THE TOW OPERATOR COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL TO TOW IT.

AT 2:30AM ON 4/29/17 SATURDAY MORNING, WE HEARD A LOUD BANG WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE...TURNS OUT THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NO WHERE...GLASS WAS ALL OVER US...VERY SCARY SITUATION.

CAR WAS ON WHILE PARKED AND JUST SHUT OFF WOULD NOT START BACK UP . TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED
