Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Diesel fuel pump failed while driving on the road. I also own a 2014 328d BMW which was recalled earlier where the diesel fuel pump was replaced by the dealership. While driving on the road, the car unexpectedly turned off in traffic. I managed to get the vehicle off the road and called a tow truck. I contacted my local BMW dealer and informed me my 2017 328d is not under a recall like my 2014 328d was. I then instructed the tow truck driver to take the car to an independent mechanic who specializes on BMWs. The diagnosis is a fail fuel pump.”

NHTSA complaint #11762347, filed 2026-09

“Recall campaign # 18v-755 exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). I had waited 7 months to get the fix completed. I wrote a letter to the ceo of Bmw USA. They had a representative assigned to my case. I told them that this defect is a safety issue for my family and gave then 30 days to fix it which expired on july 15th. They inspected it which doesn't show failure but it is still a concern as it says - it would increase the risk of a fire . They still don't have a fix that has been broadly rolled out. I am in fear of driving this vehicle. …”

“On February 5, 2022 while driving on 70 mph on I64 my vehicle shut down due to the recall causing the the high-pressure fuel pump to shut down causing the engine to stall and a message that there was a powertrain malfunction and the vehicle would not start back or go into gear. The interstate was very busy and I could have been hit by a tractor trailer or another vehicle at high speed. I received a recall notice that stated there was a remedy available November 2021, but when I called the dealership I was told there were no parts available and they would call me when parts became available. …”

“Received letter from Bmw in the fall of 2018 stating the nature of the recall and that parts would be available in december 2018. As of this morning, parts are still not available and was told it's at least 3-4 weeks away. Is this typical wait time to address recall issues?”
