2012 BMW 328I Fuel system Problems

“The 3 series Bmw's were not included in the recall 16v-746 for fuel leak even though the 5 and 7 series have the same fuel pump. My car is leaking gas which is extremely dangerous to my family and others. I have read countless accounts online of the same issue with other owners of the 3 series. A problem of this magnitude should have been included in the original recall.”

“I was driving on a busy highway and the vehicle randomly stalled and lost power. Drivetrain malfunction trouble lights lit up the dash. I was barely able to get out of traffic before coasting to a stop. I had the vehicle towed to Bmw south austin and it was diagnosed with a faulty fuel transfer pump, and a faulty fuel tank. Essentially I had run out of fuel with 1/4 tank showing on the gauges. Bmw denied my request to repair the vehicle under warranty, even though there is an extended warranty on the in tank fuel pump . …”

“My husband and I were driving home from la to nevada. On the freeway between barstow and baker, the car suddenly stopped on the left side of the freeway. Warning light appeared but disappeared so fast that we did not get a chance to read what it was saying, only the last part which I think said engine failure. It did not give us a chance to look for a safer place to stop. From driving at 75 MPH, my husband was able to drive it to a nearby left shoulder, which was very narrow that incoming cars started to honk because we were not really parked inside the space. …”

“Takaya recall I was driving my car (in motion) on the highway (Bmw 328I 2012) when suddenly a message appeared on the display screen stating fuel supply malfunction after reading the message the car suddenly stalled in the middle of the road. I turned my hazards on and attempted to start the car, but it would turn over. After waiting 10 minutes with my car completely turn off, it finally started. The same thing happened to me several times and most recently today 08/31/2017 on the streets. It was really scary ordeal because the other drivers had to suddenly brake! …”

“Fuel tank leak. Car started smelling like gas. Noticed after pumping gas - gas starting pouring / leaking out of fuel tank in daughters car on left side. Took to shop, said entire fuel tank and was told entire tank with fuel hose pipe would need to be replaced due to crack in tank / fuel pipe. Shop said should not be happening and is probably faulty. Expensive repair, Bmw should recall the 3 series along with the other fuel tank / fuel systems that they recalled for the 5 and 7 series. Extremely dangerous and hazardous for these to be on the road.”
