Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My vehicle has multiple codes for faulty fuel injectors. A recall campaign was initiated I n 2010 to repair these injectors. I believe the recall campaign was titled 10e-a02: replace fuel injectors. The eligiblity was listed as vehicles with production dates from 4/01/2007 to 11/30/2008. Vehicles included were Bmw e90 models. I have a 2007 e90 model with a production date of 3/2007. It is peculiar that the production date did not include all vehicles in that model year. …”

“Was traveling on i290, at about 70mph, when I needed more acceleration to pass a truck... The car started to shake, the engine service soon light came on, and it was flashing. The car was slowing down very quickly, I was unable to gain more speed, nor even maintain speed, I had to rush to the breakdown lane, all the way from the left lane. There was a barrier on the left lane, so parking on the left would have been too dangerous. I stopped by autozone, they scanned my car... The scan reported: cylinder 4,5,6 misfire. The car drove fine after I turned it off, and back on... …”

“Engine failure sign comes on my 2007 Bmw 335XI and the engine power significantly cuts off. This has happened to me at least 3 times. The 1st and 2nd time it happened to me, I was driving on the freeway and suddenly, the sign comes on and I lost significant engine power, had to slow down and move over to the right lanes, as I had to drop my speed immediately from 70mph to 55 or lower. Then I pulled over, turned off the car and restarted the car. Sometimes that worked and my engine got full power, sometimes it doesn't and I have to drive with low engine power. …”

“Bmw 335XI fire burned car total loss after driving 1/4 mile. Vehicle was at Bmw days earlier with a complaint of rough idle/reduced power. Told engine faults would be handled by software update. Fire burned two cars with a small explosion and 15 foot flames.”

“Fuel injectors and high pressure fuel pump. I believe there was a recall for the 335i model not the 335xi. These are the same exact engines and were produced at the same exact time with the same exact parts. BMW created index 1 injectors and has since remanufactured to what today is now called an index 12 injector. I believe my model is well over due to qualify for this recall because old injectors can cause a fire WHILE DRIVING. Fuel leaks around electrical spark plugs and bmw knows this but they only recalled for the RWD model which is ridiculous. …”
