“The fuel injector for my 2010 Bmw 335I died after driving the car for 14 days. The vehicle will still drive, but if you try to accelerate, it shakes very badly. After having it replaced, one of the injectors went bad again- 7 days later. This is an issue, as I am driving cross country.”

“I was driving northbound on a crowded stretch of us101 in a 2010 Bmw 335I coupe with less than 3200 miles on it. My car was moving at about 65 MPH when suddenly I lost almost all engine power, making acceleration impossible. I had to ease my way off the highway and, after stopping to take stock of the situation, I drove home via side streets. My car continued to suffer from lack of power all the way back and could barely ascend some of the hills.”

“My high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failed in my 2010 Bmw 335I while on an onramp to get onto the highway. When I accelerated I felt a chugging sensation from the car followed by a gong. The gone was alerting me that my car had went into limp mode and would not allow me to accelerate any further than I had already. Lucky the traffic behind me moved over once I turned on my hazard lights and I was able to quickly exit onto the near by feeder and into a park lot to await assistance. …”

“I own a jan. 2010 Bmw 335I with 5,800 miles on it. While driving on a freeway, the warning system cam on and read that the engine was at reduced power but I could continue driving at a reduced speed. As I was reading the notice, the engine died and I had to glide over 5 lanes with no power to reach the side of the freeway. When the car was towed to a dealership and the problem explained, someone in the service department suspected it was the high injection fuel pump because they've had to replace others. That was the problem. So why isn't there a recall out on this? …”

“On tuesday february 2nd 2010 my brand new (only 3859 miles on it) Bmw 335I coupe started experiencing difficulty starting up (then engine would just turn and turn). Upon starting up, the engine idled very roughly, as if only firing on partial cylinders. No engine warning lights were observed at this time. Eventually the engine seemed to start running smoothly. During driving of the car later on the engine malfunction - reduced power light appeared. When traveling at a low rate of speed (aprox. 20mph) the engine shut off and I was forced to coast to the side of the road. …”
