2011 Bmw 328i Xdrive Fuel System Problems

Your fuel pump control module and fuel pump failed while driving on the highway, causing your engine to suddenly shut down and stall. You received a warning notification about the fuel pump failure just before the engine stopped. This loss of engine power at highway speed created a dangerous situation.

Water pump and Thermostat failure at 60,000 miles even after a replacement.car continues to overheat

Last Saturday, I was driving to New Jersey. I drove from Brooklyn through the Holland Tunnel with no issues. However, after driving about 4 or 5 miles on the New Jersey Turnpike the fuel pump malfunction light came on and the car started to slow down then jerk. Thankfully, I was able to pull off to the side since vehicles travel at a very high speed on the New Jersey Turnpike. After I pulled off to the side the engine stopped and would not restart. I was able to get a tow to the nearest BMW — BMW of Bloomfield. They took my keys and ran my VIN. The service manager from that location advised me that they could fix the fuel pump for me at no cost because it is a known issue and is covered under code SULEV. However, I would have to leave my car there for the weekend. Since I live in Brooklyn, I decided to get another tow to BMW of Manhattan where my car has been since Saturday. I did not receive a call from the service advisor until Monday evening, to whom I explained everything that I just wrote. He told me that there were no open recalls on my vehicle and he would let me know the cost to replace the fuel pump. I explained to him that the service manager at BMW of Bloomfield said that I absolutely should not be charged for the repair because it is covered for New Jersey and New York customers. Also, I looked up the code and issue on Google and saw that other customers had the same issue and BMW repaired the vehicle at no charge. BMW of Manhattan has stated that they will replace the fuel pump at no charge. However, I will need to pay over $1,000 to replace the fuel pump module and FPR module that both malfunctioned. Though the service advisor acknowledged that the fuel pump failure could have triggered the failure of the fuel pump module and the FPR module.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION MESSAGE ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

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.
