FUEL TANK LEAKS GASOLINE. an alarming amount of fuel leaks and this is an issue that seams common among BMW F30 chasis. In my case when my car is ful tank it starts dripping fuel, visible. the problem seems to be a seal that is made to flex but with time that seal fails and creates a fire hazard due to high volatile fumes and liquid gas leakage. I was able to notice as I parked my car when arriving home due to the strong smell of fuel. -The issue is reproducible. -On the safety side, it puts a risk of Fire. -The vehicle unfortunately has not been inspected by police or insurance -There is an error code un the computer of the vehicle that has to do with detection of fuel leakage.
The car loose power while driving, near stop it pulls hard as it wants to turn off. Have show multiple times the fuel system error and shut off while operating. Is been doing the same problems for years now.
The contact owns a 2014 BMW 328I. The contact stated while driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled as the drivetrain malfunction warning light illuminated. The contact managed to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact attempted to turn off and restart the vehicle which failed to resume normal operation. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the fuel feed pump and high pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The technician informed the contact that the fuel pump failed to provide the correct fuel level in the tank. No dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 76,802
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328I. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. WHILE DRIVING TO REEVES BMW (109 E FOWLER AVE, TAMPA, FL 36612, THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO BE TOWED FOR SERVICE AS IT WOULD NOT START. THE ERROR IN THE SYSTEM WAS FOR THE FUEL PUMP. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR MY SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL FOR THIS ISSUE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.
WHILE PROCEEDING AT 50 MPH ON HEAVILY-TRAVELED 2-LANE COUNTRY ROAD, THE ENGINE CUT OUT LEAVING THE CAR WITH NO PROPULSION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE DRIVEWAY OF A LOCAL FARM AND COME TO A STOP SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. MY REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. I THEN CALLED FOR A WRECKER WHICH TOWED THE CAR TO THE BMW DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER SUBSEQUENTLY INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED (REPAIR WORK WAS UNDER WARRANTY). NOTE: I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN 2014. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, I PERFORMED A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THAT MY YEAR/MODEL BMW HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR A FUEL PUMP ISSUE [NHTSA CAMPAIGN 15V189000]. I NEVER RECEIVED THAT RECALL NOTICE AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, AM NOT AWARE THAT THE REQUIRED WORK WAS EVER DONE.
I WAS DRIVING HOME AND CAR STOPS RUNNING I MEAN COMPLETELY STOPS RUNNING CARS AND TRUCK SWERVING TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AS I LOOK UP INFORMATION ABOUT BMW RECALLS I FIND THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN GIVES NON SERVAL CARS LIKE MINE IN 2015 AND BMW WON'T FIX MY CAR UNLESS I PAY $1600 FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP. C
VEHICLE STALLED IN DRIVEWAY OF GAS STATION, JUST BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO TURN ONTO STREET. ENGINE WOULD CRANK WHEN START BUTTON WAS PRESSED, BUT CAR WOULDN'T START. *TR
I WAS DRIVING ALONG WITH MY TWIN 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS IN MY 4 MONTH OLD 2014 BMW 328 DRIVE M SPORT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLED WITH VERY LITTLE TO NO WARNING. THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO START. LUCKILY WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE SITUATION. HOW DOES A BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THEY THINK IT IS A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. A FUEL PUMP FAILURE ON A 2014 VEHICLE RECEIVED IN AUGUST OF 2014? *TR
