#10197540July 26, 2007
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
EXPERIENCED FUEL PUMP FAILURE ON MY 2007 BMW 335I AND BECAME A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHERS DRIVING BEHIND ME ON MY WAY TO WORK. STARTED EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS AS RECENTLY AS A MONTH AGO, SUCH AS LONG ENGINE CRANK TIMES, VERY ROUGH IDLING UPON STARTUP, AND OCCASIONAL "LIMP MODE" PERFORMANCE. IN SPITE OF ALL THIS, THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT WORK ON MY CAR UNTIL I EXPERIENCED A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" (SES) WARNING LIGHT. THE FUEL PUMP PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD SHUDDER WHEN REVVING OVER 2000RPMS, AND THE CAR PERPETUALLY REMAINED IN LIMP MODE WHERE IT IS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN A SAFE ENOUGH MANNER TO DRIVE ON PUBLIC ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR WHEN THE SES LIGHT CAME ON AT 7/25/07 ON MY 02/07 PRODUCTION VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS OVER A ONE MONTH WAIT FOR A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. *JB

A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD DURING DRIVING, AND THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THIS WINDSHIELD APPEARS TO BE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO CHIPPING AND CRACKING WHEN HIT BY RELATIVELY SMALL ROAD DEBRIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
BMW 335 COUPE HPFP (HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FOR DIRECT INJECTION) FAILED BEFORE 4,000 MILES. NO SIGNS OF FAILURE, CAR STARTED TO RUN ROUGH, WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE, AND THEN WOULD NOT RESTART WITHOUT DYING AGAIN AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I HAD TO WAIT 7+ WEEKS WITH THE CAR IN SERVICE BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP WAS ON INTERNATIONAL BACKORDER WITH 400+ UNITS ON BACKORDER! PUMP WAS REPLACED AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP FOR 7+ WEEKS, AND CAR IS RUNNING GOOD AGAIN.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
2007 BMW 335I HAS KNOWN WIDESPREAD FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WITH HIGH RATE OF FAILURE LEADING TO SUDDEN POWER LOSS. I HAVE NEW CAR WITH 1200 MI, WITH NO WARNING FROM DEALER ABOUT POTENTIAL PROBLEM, I EXPERIENCED NEAR COMPLETE POWER LOSS ON BUSY FREEWAY LEADING TO NEAR COLLISION. THIS CAR SHOULD BE CATEGORICALLY RECALLED UNTIL ALL FUEL PUMPS ARE REPLACED. MFR IS CONTINUING TO SELL THIS CAR WITH KNOWN DEFECT WITHOUT WARNING CONSUMER. WHEN PRESENTED WITH THIS PROBLEM, IT IS COMMON FOR A 2-3 MONTH BACKORDER ON REPLACEMENT PUMP WHICH ALSO HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE. OVERALL, BMW'S POOR DESIGN, LACK OF THOROUGH TESTING BEFORE RELEASE OF NEW ENGINE, AND FAILURE TO WARN CUSTOMERS IS CREATING THIS UNACCEPTABLE HAZARD.
