2011 BMW 335I Fuel system Problems

“I was driving when my car immediately shut off almost causing me to get hit from behind. Luckily, there was a gas station for me to quickly pull into and get out of the lane before completely coming to a halt. I'm confused as to why there isn't a recall on the 3 series.

“I was driving in a parking lot at about 5mph, and the vehicle suddenly stopped on its own while I was still pressing the accelerator. I continued to press the accelerator, but the vehicle would not move. After 3 or 4 minutes of trying to determine what the issue was, I put the car in park and restarted the engine.
