Example complaints

“My fuel gauge is once again reading completely empty even though I've only gone 40 miles on the current tank which has a range of about 240 miles. I just had the 5th fuel strip sensor in my tank replaced by my local dealer. Bmw is well aware of the problem yet does nothing, except say they are sorry.”
NHTSA complaint #10541893, filed 2013-09, 6,806 miles“Fuel was hemorrhaging all over the left side of the motorcycle when I parked it after a short ride. I noticed a trail of fuel where I went down the street. I had just topped off and was down to half a tank (approx. 2.5 gallons) in about ten miles. Smoke was pouring off of the engine and the smell of fuel was overwhelming. A major fire/explosion was a real possibility. After cooling the motorcycle with a garden hose and rinsing the fuel away, I removed the fairings and fuel tank. Fuel was leaking from the fuel pump/quick disconnect area.”
NHTSA complaint #10471339, filed 2012-08, 20,000 miles“The contact owns a 2007 Bmw k 1200 r sport motorcycle. The contact stated that there was a strong gasoline oder coming from the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that there was gasoline leaking from the fuel pump. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump assembly was leaking and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v617000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was repaired. …”
