“I was driving on the highway and the car was reading that it had gas, then suddenly it came to a stop, on the highway, the car was towed to the dealer, and it was found that the fuel level sensor had died making the car think it had gas when it in fact had none. The dealer wants to replace the entire tank for $2700, this issue is incredibly dangerous as it can leave anyone stranded anywhere. This car is only 6 years old and this issue can be found on bmws much older then that. Bmw knows about the issue, they know it is dangerous and they choose to continue making cars with this is issue. …”
