Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving west down route 66 in virginia. Car had stalled 5 times in a 60 mile trip stating with a message fuel pump failure continued driving is possible. It left me with no power steering or brakes. The vehicle will restart after a 5 minute cool down period and continued driving is then possible. This has been happening with this vehicle since 70k miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10990475, filed 2017-05, 101,100 miles“I was driving my car and it just complete lost power,I called road side assistance and they did some testing. Keep in mind I just got a new battery three months ago,have shown no signs of any power ,start up issues,. I just don't understand how a car with a higher standard just dies. They said it was the fuel pump. Its seemly interesting how many people have had the same issue and Bmw should be ashamed with themselves not to recall this issue ,at least address the people who are having the issue..fuel pump isn't something that should go at 100k.very disappointed. …”
