This Problem Across All Years
MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND IS REPORTING THE SAME TROUBLE CODES RELATED TO RECALL NUMBER: 17V683000. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THIS MATTER COULD BE INVESTIGATED AND MY VEHICLES VIN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

11/2016 - CAR STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AND WOULDN'T RESTART. COMPLETE POWER FAILURE (ENGINE, BRAKES, STEERING) - MECHANIC REPLACED A GAS VALVE. THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE MORE. BMW REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND NOW WANTS TO REPLACE THE CONTROL MODULE. ALL THIS WITHIN 3000 MILES. SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. 04/03/18-104795 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR -BLOWER MOTOR RECALL WAS PERFORMED DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOURS WAS INOPERABLE -PCV VALVE RECALL -CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAUSE WAS THE FUEL PUMP. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 2766 MILES IN BETWEEN THE NEXT VISIT. 09/28/18-107561 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR -A/C SERVICE DUE TO THE A/C NOT BEING COLD ENOUGH. -SLUGGISH RUNNING (CAUSE WAS THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR) AN EMISSIONS ITEM THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND THE VEHICLE ALSO NEEDED THE (CHARCOAL CANISTER) REPLACED, ALSO AN EMISSIONS ITEM. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 487 MILES 10/23/18-108048 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR -AWD/ABS/EMERGENCY EBV LIGHT IS ON-( THIS IS CONTROLLED BY THE VTG MODULE) I'M NOT GETTING A SIGNAL FROM THIS MODULE. AFTER INSPECTING WHAT WE COULD OF THE MODULE THAT IS WHEN THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THERE WAS WATER IN THE PASSENGER REAR FLOORBOARD. -FUEL PUMP MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN (CAUSE IS THE EKPS MODULE) THE MODULE CONTROLS WHAT THE FUEL PUMP DOES. IF THIS MODULE IS MALFUNCTIONING THEN THE FUEL PUMP ISN'T OPERATING PROPERLY RESULTING IN THE 'FUEL PUMP' MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE, YET THEY HAVE "FIXED" TWO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE FUEL SYSTEM ALREADY. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT A THIRD, EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE PART WOULD FAIL SO SOON?

BEFORE ANY PROMPTS ON THE NAVIGATION SCREEN EVER CAME UP, I WOULD OFTEN SOMETIMES SMELL SOMETHING BURNING OR GIVING OFF A HOT RUBBER SMELL WHICH I ADDRESSED AS SOON I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM QUEENS AUTO MALL AUCTION, THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IF I DID NOT SEE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY BMW 328 XI 2011 THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND A FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION DISPLAY PROMPTED ON MY NAVIGATION SCREEN. THE CAR STOPPED ON A BRIDGE IN THE LEFT LANE WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN AT ALL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. I DROVE IT BACK HOME 5 MIN AWAY AND GOT MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE BMW OF MANHATTAN WHERE THEY SAY THEY TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. ONCE I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, I DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MINUTES BEFORE THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO SWITCH INTO THE RIGHT LANE SO I CAN PULL OVER AND HAVE ANOTHER TOW COME AND TAKE MY CAR TO BMW OF MANHATTAN JUST AN HOUR AFTER I HAD IT SERVICED. I HAD THE RECALL FOR THE PCV VALVE HEATER REPLACED AT THAT SERVICE SO I KNOW THE SAME FIRE/RUBBER BURNING SMELL CAN'T POSSIBLY BE FROM THAT VALVE RECALL. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 3 SERIES, AND I AM CONCERNED THIS MAY BE AN UNDERLYING ISSUE WITH ALL 3 SERIES BMW 2006-2011. IN BOTH OF THESE SEPARATE INSTANCES I WAS DRIVING AND WAS VERY SCARED THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT IN NEW YORK CITY

WITHOUT ANY TIME TO PULL OVER, MY CAR HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 45 AND 65 NOT ONCE BUT TWICE IN ABOUT A 3 MONTH SPAN. FIRST TIME I WAS STUCK IN A MIDDLE LANE GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND MY CAR COMPLETELY CAME TO A STOP. I NEEDED POLICE TO COME OUT AND AN EMERGENCY TOW DUE TO LOCATION. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY BMW DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAD BEEN CORRECTED. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ON A DIFFERENT PART THE SAME BUSY HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH AND I HAD TO HAVE A POLICE OFFICER COME OUT AND PUSH ME INTO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE AGAIN, BY CAR COMPLETELY CAME TO A STOP WITH NO TIME TO SWITCH LANES AND GET TO A SHOULDER.

HI I HAVE A BMW 2011 328XI, RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME AND LITERALLY LEFT ME 10 SECS TO GET ON THE SHOULDER. MIND YOU THIS IS BUSY TRAFFIC HOUR COMING BACK FROM CHICAGO. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP LAST YEAR, AND BMW TAKES NO OWNER SHIP OF THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALSO ASKED THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT , BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME OH WE CANNOT DETECT IT. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS THIS IS MY WIFES CAR AND I WOULD NOT WANT ANYTHING HAPPENING TO HER IF THE CAR RANDOMLY STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREE WAY.

TODAY I WAS ALMOST KILLED, AND CAUSED MANY OTHER MOTORIST A GREAT DEAL OF PANIC. DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE AT ABOUT 65-70 MPH MY 2011 328XI SUDDENLY STARTED TO LOOSE POWER. AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET ACROSS FIVE LANES TO THE SHOULDER, I WAS NEARLY HIT NUMEROUS TIMES AS DRIVERS AROUND ME HAD BRAKE HARD OR MAKE RAPID MOVES AROUND ME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS THAT THIS OCCURRED. I HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT PLAZA MOTORS. TODAY MY CAR WAS TOWED THERE AGAIN AND I AM ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM
