My Vehicle has been on Recall since March 2, 2022. There are increasing problems and an occasional smoke and burning smell. This is effecting me getting an inspection and registering my vehicle.

- Chandler , AZ, USA

Upon starting my vehicle there is a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin. The car was making a noise that has been diagnosed by a mechanic as engine failure and this vehicle is only 10 years old. This car is my only means of transportation. I need someone to help figure out what to do with it. These cars are too costly to consumers to be just be dead in a year span. There is no possible way the manufacture is unaware of these issues. My car has had a burning smell that could never be located by the dealer. Though it all there are still zero safety lights to point me in any direction.. how can it be possible that something seeming so unstable have no warning lights to give indication that something is wrong with it. I-€™m just tired of all these entities being able to deliberately falsify information to entice me to purchase a vehicle knowing it has failures and safety issues. I don-€™t have another car. I want to use the one l already paid for. I need someone who cares to help me. I shouldn-€™t be fearful for my life driving a vehicle on the road. If someone can please look into what can be done by the manufacturer, I would appreciate it. The dealer deems this vehicle inoperable.. where do I go from here"?"

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.

My issue is exactly as described in recall campaign 14V-176, also listed as si B11 07 14. It is a faulty vanos unit with failing bolts. My car's model and year are listed in both of these documents, however my specific VIN is not listed as part of the recall. My car is currently damaged due to the vanos bolts shearing off completely and falling into the oil pan, as described exactly in the above recall notices. This is the diagnosis from BMW of seattle. It is very clear that my car suffers the same faulty part as listed and should be part of the recall. I believe it is in error that it is not. As it stands, BMW cannot help me and are forcing me to pay out of pocket. The service technician tells me that my VIN should be included in the recall and does not understand why it isn't, but because it isn't they will not fix the issue under the recall. This is a very serious issue. Please correct the documentation to include my vehicle, which matches the listed vehicles in the vanos recall paperwork. Thank you.

My BMW does not idle smooth, it hesitates like it is choking on gas, its idle gauge goes from 0 to 15 constantly. At first I thought it was a transmission problem. I had it tunes=D up and the problem still exists. It has little power on and off. You have to accelerate hard to get it to go up hills and it is not a smooth shift when your riding it hard to get the idle up to par to go faster.

3-times the car's engine was turned off by the computer while we were driving on the freeway and the streets. Car info says "fuel pump, service soon" and then the car won't start for an hour. First time we took it to beverly hills BMW center and they replace the fuel pump. Next day, fuel all over our garage. Took it back for them to secure it better.next morning we got gas all over the garage again. I had to secure the fuel pump. I'm not confident in the service at BMW centers but I really have a problem with the car turning off while your in the fast line on the freeway. We were almost hit by a truck the third time it stopped.

My BMW 328I E93 has the service engine soon (ses) light come on while I was driving on the highway. The computer shows error code 2B3A (P1449 dmtl system fault). I cleared the code and it came back a week later. I tried replacing the gas cap and the error still comes back the same. I was doing further research and came across this article (attached) from NHTSA.gov describing the same exact problem, with the same exact code and even my engine is the same N52K for my E93 328I. Https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/tsbs/2012/sb-10051299-3508.pdf the dmtl pump is there to help reduce emissions and if the system is faulty, the BMW dealership should honor the request for service work to replace the dmtl pump under the emissions/extended emissions warranty. I called and they said there's no recall for this VIN so they can't help me...and they are making me pay for the diagnostic fee...but I do in fact have my emissions warranty still in effect for the VIN which is 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first. It seems that there needs to be an active recall for these faulty dmtl pumps/systems as this problem exists for engines like mine -the N52K engine. I encourage the NHTSA to take a look into this matter and work closely with BMW North America to institute a remedy for this. Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

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.

Had several recalls sent but everytime I contact and took my car. BMW stated that parts are not in. Been 2 years, so I was still paying and then told until get get fixed. No payments will be made on a car they knew was a safety hazard and did not for 2 years. Took car again in 2/2017. Same answer. Now they want to take care and charge me due to their lack to service my BMW, which is a safety hazard to drive
