2008 BMW 335XI Fuel system Problems

“My Bmw 335XI has repeatedly had fuel pump issues. The engine will malfunction when I am in the middle of the road (often times in the middle of the highway). This is not only a potential safety issue for myself, but for others on the road as well. This fuel pump failure issue prevents my car from moving, which can potentially lead to someone's death, especially on the highway. Please force Bmw to recall this fuel pump asap.”

“My car is experiencing the infamous hpfp failure. The code thrown is p2aaf (fuel pump plausability) and p29f2 (high-pressure fuel system, fuel pressure). When starting the car, the engine shakes, rumbles and almost dies, erratic idle...I have to rev up the engine for a few minutes to keep idle stable. The check engine light and ses light comes on. It has reduced power, I can not accelerate quickly any more. I see people behind me move over everytime I go from a stop. I took the car to Bmw recently and they found $8,800 worth of repair cost on the vehicle. …”

“April 14, 2014 our car went in for service. May 7, 2014 it was returned for a 'reduced power,service engine soon'light. At that time, the fuel pump was replaced and covered under a recall. In july the light came on again and the battery was dead. We replaced the battery. In late august, the warning light appeared again. September 8,2014 the car went into the garage. At this time we were told it was most likely the turbo, est repairs at $5500.00. At this time the car had 83985 miles on it(the turbo was under an extended warranty until 82,000). …”

“My model car has a recall on the fuel injectors. My vehicle's fuel injectors have misfired and have cause the check engine light to remain on in my car. I have contacted Bmw several times about this issue. They have told me multiple stories as to why they will not honor my car under this recall. One reason they give is my VIN #, even though my car is the same make and model as the recall with the same issue. Then they say my car is out of warranty. I thought the purpose of a recall is that it repairs your car even if it's out of warranty. …”

“On sunday may 10, 2009, I was driving my Bmw 335 when I experienced the car shaking and breaking down. I had it towed to the Bmw dealership to be notified that the high pressure fuel pump failed and it was because I used 15% ethanol gas. This is absurd as I have been using the gas recommended by Bmw and I have all the receipts to prove it, all gas in new york state contains the legal 10% ethanol so I don't see how any consumer could know if the ethanol percentage is higher than what they are putting in. …”
