NHTSA complaint #10765109, filed 2015-09, 1,700 miles“Bmw 428I shut off while driving on a busy freeway. I was barely able to glide to the side. Unable to re-start with the vehicle partially blocking the slow lane. After few minutes it started again”
NHTSA complaint #11269065, filed 2019-10, 10 miles“My car has been experiencing the same issues as reported in the BMW safety recall campaign 15V189000, since I purchased the car in October 2018. If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. The last issue just happened recently on the interstate, which almost resulted in a crash. My Vin number production year is 2/2015 and is not part of the campaign, which is for production years 9/2013 to 9/2014. I believe my car should be part of this campaign, as my car is experiencing the exact same issues. …”
NHTSA complaint #11423797, filed 2021-07“My car stops every once in a blue moon randomly while I am driving. The engine suddenly shuts off and a warning light that says Drivetrain Malfunction: Drive moderately. Maximum drive output not available. shows up. It is extremely dangerous for me and others, it has stopped 3 times in the middle of the freeway & 6 times on normal street. When I got my car towed the first few times to random auto body stores, they scan my car & no engine code comes up so they don't know what to do and gave me a lot of advice. They also fill my gas up and then my car runs as if it has no problems. …”
