BMW 335I 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 24, 2009.BMW 335I 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . DEAR BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC: WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL INJECTORS ON THE ABOVE SUBJECT VEHICLE. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO UNITED BMW OF ROSWELL, 11458 ALPHARETTA HWY, ROSWELL, GA 30076 -- PHONE# 678-832-4600. UNITED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC SENT US A LETTER SEVERAL MONTHS THIS YEAR IN 2008, INFORMING US THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF SOME ISSUES PERTAINING TO THE FUEL PUMP ON THE 335I'S. ALEXANDER MATHIS HAS ENCOUNTERED THESE "EXACT" ISSUES LISTED BELOW IN THE CORRESPONDENCE FROM BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC. WE'VE TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO THE UNITED BMW OF ROSWELL ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS PERTAINING TO ISSUES. TO OUR AMAZEMENT, BMW ROSWELL COMMUNICATED THAT THE FUEL IN THE VEHICLE HAD TO MUCH ETHANOL IN THE FUEL TANK. THEY SAID THE BMW ONLY ALLOWS 10% OF ETHANOL IN THE GASOLINE AND THAT SOME TEST WERE SHOWING THAT THERE WAS 15% OF ETHANOL IN THE FUEL. NONETHELESS, WE FAXED OVER A COPY OF THE GAS RECEIPT WHICH CERTAINLY SHOWS THAT WE PUT 93 OCTANE GAS IN BOTH OF OUR BMW'S. WE BOTH USE THE SAME GAS STATIONS AND THE SAME 93 OCTANE FUEL. HOWEVER, THE 2006 330I SEDAN IS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL, BUT THE 335I IS EXPERIENCING THAT VERY ISSUES THAT BMW NORTH AMERICA LISTED BELOW IN THEIR CORRESPONDENCE. WE NEVER BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO BMW NORTH AMERICA, LLC'S ATTENTION. HOWEVER, WE STILL RECEIVED A LETTER IN MAIL PERTAINING TO THESE "EXACT" ISSUES. THE LETTER PRECISELY INDICATED THE SAME ISSUES THAT ALEXANDER MATHIS IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING WITH HIS VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO THE CUSTOMER THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE CAUGHT UP IN AN ISSUE BETWEEN UNITED BMW ROSWELL, BMW NORTH AMERICA, LLC AND EXXON GAS STATION WHERE THE FUEL WAS PURCHASED. PERSONALLY, I JUST COULDN'T IMAGINE BMW ALLOWING THEIR VALUABLE CUSTOMERS TO GO THROUGH SUCH A CUMBERSOME AND TEDIOUS PROCESS TO GET THEIR VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WITH A LITTLE OVER 46,000 MILE. *TR.Mileage was 46000 miles. Bmw 335i 2008 problem was reported in ATLANTA, GA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

MY 2009 BMW 335I EXPERIENCED A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THIS FAILURE CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO STALL AND BECOME INOPERABLE IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND REQUIRED A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. HPFP FAILURES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BMW N54 ENGINE AND HAVE BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM SINCE THE ENGINE WAS FIRST INTRODUCED IN 2006 AND STILL PLAGUES VEHICLES CURRENTLY MANUFACTURED. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR FUEL PUMPS REPLACED 3 OR MORE TIMES. THE FAILURE MODE OF THIS COMPONENT CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER. WHILE BMW HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS COMPONENT THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE ROOT CAUSE AND THE SAFETY ISSUES STILL REMAIN. NOTE: THE VEHICLE SELECTOR DID NOT HAVE THE 335I AS AN AVAILABLE MODEL FOR MODEL YEAR 2009. I SELECTED 2008 SO THAT THE VEHICLE MODEL WOULD BE CORRECT. *TR.Mileage was 3300 miles.

THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC HAS TO BRAKE EXTREMELY HARD TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME SINCE THERE IS NO REAL SHOULDER OR ANY TIME TO EVEN PULL OVER, THANK GOD I WAS NOT HIT AND EVERYONE ELSE IN TRAFFIC MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY WITHOUT INCIDENT - IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY FOR THIS TO HAVE ENDED IN A 40MPH SPEED DIFFERENTIAL REAR END COLLISION WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR.

BMW 335I 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 26, 2010.BMW 335I 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . ENGINE STARTS ARE PRECEDED BY LONG CRANKS, FLUCTUATING RPMS AND SHAKING FELT AT THE DRIVER'S SEAT. CAR GOING 70MPH, LOST POWER UPON ACCELERATION ON A BUSY HIGHWAY DRIVING BACK FROM WORK. "ENGINE MALFUNCTION - REDUCED POWER" WARNING CAME ON THE DASHBOARD, AS WELL AS THE HALF ENGINE LIGHT. CARS BEHIND ME FRANTICALLY SWITCHED LANES TO AVOID COLLISION. THE WARNING MESSAGE WENT AWAY AFTER I RESTARTED CAR LATER, BUT KEPT SHOWING UP EVERY TIME I DROVE. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT FAIL EVERY TIME I DRIVE. I'VE ALREADY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX PROBLEM. THIS IS, APPARENTLY, A WELL KNOWN FAILURE. BMWNA HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED AN OFFICIAL RECALL. THIS PROBLEM CAN POTENTIALLY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES/COLLISIONS. BMWNA MUST ISSUE AN OFFICIAL RECALL SOON. *TR.Mileage was 18650 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAWB73558P. Bmw 335i 2008 problem was reported in LAKEWOOD, CA.

BMW 335I 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 24, 2010.BMW 335I 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . ON JULY 24, 2010, MY 2008 BMW 335I SEDAN EXPERIENCED AN HPFP FAILURE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MY 335I (DELIVERED JULY 2008) HAS HAD LONG START CRANKS FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. MY WASHINGTON, DC BMW DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IT CANNOT REPLACE THE HPFP UNTIL IT FAILS OR THROWS AN ELECTRONIC CODE. ON JULY 24, I WAS DRIVING APPROX 500 MILES TO A VACATION. 350 MILES INTO THE TRIP, ON I-87 AT APPROX 65MPH IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC, A CAR CUT INTO MY (MIDDLE) LANE. I MOVED TO THE LEFT LANE AND QUICKLY APPLIED MEDIUM THROTTLE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. MY ENGINE STUMBLED SEVERELY AS I CHANGED LANES/ACCELERATED AND THE HALF-POWER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR BEGAN RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGHLY, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND LOST SPEED RAPIDLY, IN THE LEFT LANE OF VERY CROWDED HIGHWAY. THE CAR BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME. I SHUT OFF ANY ACCESSORIES (AIR CONDITIONING, STEREO, ETC.), PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN APPROX 50-55MPH ON A LONG DOWNHILL AS I MERGED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. AS I PULLED OFF, THE CAR NEARED A STALL, WITH THE ENGINE IDLE JUMPING WILDLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER TURNING IT BACK ON, THE HALF-POWER ENGINE ICON CAME ON AGAIN, ALONG WITH A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT, AND THE ENGINE AGAIN HAD ALMOST NO POWER TO ACCELERATE AND RAN ROUGHLY. THE HPFP AND LOWER PRESSURE FUEL SENSOR WERE REPLACED BY KEELER BMW, LATHAM, NY, ON JULY 29, 2010. MY CAR HAD RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE DURING A PAST SERVICE. I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE HPFP PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS. BECAUSE OF THE LONG CRANKS, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MINE TO FAIL AND HOPED IT WOULD NOT BE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I NOTED A RECENT ARTICLE IN WHICH A BMW SPOKESPERSON SAID THE FAILURES ARE NOT OCCURRING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. GIVEN MY EXPERIENCE, BMW NEEDS TO BE HONEST ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE COME OUT WITHOUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. *TR.Mileage was 12560 miles.

BMW 335I 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 24, 2010.BMW 335I 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . I BOUGHT A NEW 2008 BMW 335I CONVERTIBLE. AT APPROXIMATELY 13,000 MILES, 12 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED "ENGINE MALFUNCTION-REDUCED POWER". THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING WHEN TRYING TO START IT. IT TOOK PROGRESSIVELY LONGER TO START THE CAR. A BRAND NEW FUEL PUMP WAS INSTALLED BY BMW OF DALLAS. 12 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. ROSEVILLE BMW KEPT THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE CLAIMING BMW AUTHORIZED THE SAFE RELEASE OF THE VEHICLE PER THEIR STANDARDS. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INSTRUCTED ME THAT THERE IS REALLY NO FIX FOR THE CAR AND NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVE COME IN FOR THIS ISSUE, SOME WITH EXTREMELY UNSAFE PRESENTATIONS, SUCH AS THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSING POWER ON THE FREEWAY WHILE GOING 80 MILES/HOUR IN FRONT OF A BIG RIG. HE SAID THAT MY PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO THIS SAFETY COMPROMISE. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AFTER ROSEVILLE BMW DEEMED IT SAFE. THE NEXT MORNING, I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE RPMS WOULD GO TO 3,000 BACK TO 1,000 AND BACK TO 3,000 ON ITS OWN. THEN IT BEGAN SHAKING EXCESSIVELY AND THE "ENGINE MALFUNCTION REDUCED POWER" LIGHT CAME ONE. I CALLED INTO ROSEVILLE BMW, AND THE SAME SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD IT TOWED IN (WITHIN 16 HOURS OF RELEASING IT TO ME IN "SAFE CONDITION"). THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN BUT ADMIT THAT THIS IS NOT A FIX BECAUSE THERE IS REALLY NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR.Mileage was 13064 miles.

BMW 335I 2008 car safety problem was reported on Dec 05, 2010.BMW 335I 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . AFTER STARTING MY BMW IT OCCASIONALLY WILL RUN FINE FOR BETWEEN SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET AND THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE AND THEN BRIEFLY STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SEEM TO HAPPEN AFTER IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (ANYWHERE FROM A FEW MINUTES TO A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR). ONE TIME I HAD TO COAST OFF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE CAR. THE OTHER TWO TIMES THE CAR HAS BRIEFLY STALLED (ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AS IF IT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY ON), THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND THEN THE MOTOR CAUGHT AGAIN AND BEGAN RUNNING NORMALLY. MY CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY REPLACED THE #4 SPARK PLUG AND THIS SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE CAR RUNNING WITH LOW POWER FOR A FEW MOMENTS, HOWEVER IT HAS NOT CURED THE STALLING ISSUE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WERE PASSING A CAR OR IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I AM HOPING THAT THE DEALER WILL EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO FIX MY PROBLEM. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES ON MY CAR SO I HAVE ABOUT 8,000 MILES LEFT IN WARRANTY. *TR.Mileage was 43790 miles.

BMW 335I 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 19, 2010.BMW 335I 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with WHEELS . I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2010. I AVERAGE LESS THAN 650 MILES PER MONTH AND DRIVE ONLY ON LOS ANGELES COUNTY STREETS. A MONTH AFTER LEASING MY VEHICLE, ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES SPLIT AND I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER NOT MAINTAINING THE ALIGNMENT. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED ALL FOUR (4) TIRES WITH BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RUN-FLAT TIRES, AS REQUIRED BY MY LEASE. SIX MONTHS LATER, IN OCTOBER OF 2010, I AGAIN HAD NUMEROUS TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES, AND RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP NOVEMBER 19. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE TIRES, BUT A TIRE SENSOR ISSUE. WHEN I PICKED-UP THE VEHICLE, THE SENSOR WAS ON. I HAVE NOW BEEN INFORMED THAT THE REAR WHEEL RIMS ARE CRACKED AND THAT THE REAR TIRES MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, MY ISSUES ARE COMMON AMONG OWNERS WITH THE BMW FACTORY RIMS IN COMBINATION WITH THE BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RUN-FLAT TIRES, AND CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. FURTHERMORE, MY FIRST SET OF TIRES WAS SO DAMAGED FROM THE INTERIOR WALLS (NOT VISIBLE UNLESS ON A LIFT) THAT THEY COULD HAVE EASILY SPLIT IN NORMAL DRIVING, PLACING ME AGAIN AT A SEVERE SAFETY RISK..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30732 miles.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I AM WRITING THIS LETTER IN EFFORT TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRING ON CERTAIN BMW VEHICLES. ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 31ST, I HAD TAKEN MY CAR (2008, 335I) TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WHILE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED ALL MY SETTINGS WERE LOST. LATER, WITHIN THE HOUR, I NOTICED THAT I COULD NO LONGER UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE DOOR OPENER OR FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I COULD ONLY ENTER AND EXIT (VIA THE DRIVER DOOR) USING THE MANUAL KEY. IN ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, I HAD REVIEWED NUMEROUS SITES/BLOGS AND DISCOVERED THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE ACTUATOR CAUSING A FUSE TO CONTINUE TO BLOW. I HAD TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY (9/4). THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO SCHEDULE ME THE NEXT DAY. ON TUESDAY, THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR (AS MANY HAVE REPORTED). THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CONFIRMED THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS. I AM VERY SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. INCASE OF AN ACCIDENT, WATER HAZARD AND/OR FIRE, ONLY THE DRIVER IS ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. ALL OTHER PASSENGERS WOULD HAVE TO CLIMB OVER THE SEATS TO EXIT OUT THE DRIVER DOOR. IN CASE OF A FIRE, THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55820 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAVB73558K.

BMW 335I 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 11, 2013.BMW 335I 2008, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . 9/11/2013 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:25 AM EST MY 2008 BMW 335I SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE FROM WHAT SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE DASH BOARD AREA. I WAS MAKING MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK WHEN THE AC UNIT SHUT OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON WITH THICK BLACK SMOKE POURING INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. NATURALLY I ROLLED THE WINDOWS DOWN TO ALLOW THE SMOKE TO CLEAR SO THAT I COULD PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS MADE MATTERS WORSE, THE SMOKE THICKENED, THE HORN STARTED HONKING AS IF SOMEONE WAS HOLDING THE HORN DOWN, AS I WAS PULLING THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE SMOKE BECAME UNBEARABLE, I WAS FORTUNATE TO ESCAPE THE CAR AS THE FIRE RIPPED INTO THE CABIN CONSUMING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WITHIN JUST MINUTES. THE CAR IS NOW TOTALED AND MY INSURANCE IS INVESTIGATING. MY QUERY IS WHAT IF I HAD OTHER PEOPLE IN MY CAR? WHAT IF MY CAR WAS IN MY GARAGE? WHAT IF I HAD YOUNGER CHILDREN IN THE CAR? JUDGING ON HOW QUICKLY THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT EVEN IN MY VERY ABLE CONDITION REMOVING TWO YOUNG CHILDREN FROM THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE, THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO! SEEING AS BMW'S TARGETED AUDIENCE IS MIDDLE TO UPPER CLASS FAMILIES I WONDER IF THE PUBLIC KNOWS OF THE RISKS? I KNOW I SURE DIDN'T, HOWEVER AFTER REVIEWING THE BLOGS AND POSTS ONLINE I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS OTHER SCENARIOS UNFOLD ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MINE AND I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE. I AM CURRENTLY DEALING WITH MY INSURANCE AND I AM SURE THEY WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH BMW AS THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER 100,000 MILES AND JUST AT 5 YEARS OF AGE. *TR.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 69000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAWB73568P. Bmw 335i 2008 problem was reported in ORLANDO, FL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 45 mph.

THE MECHANIC FOLLOWED THE CABLE AND CUT THE AFFECTED BURNED CORRODED RUSTED !!! PART OF THE CABLE, AND REPLACED IT..... IF I WASN'T LOOKING HE WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME FOR A BLOWER....AND MAYBE MORE !!! I HONESTLY DO THINK BMW SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM... TWO DAYS LATER MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH WHEN OUT- I PURCHASED ONE AT ORIELYS AUTO PARTS; THE WATER PUMP ALSO FAILED THE SAME DAY AND MY CAR OVER HEATED THAT MADE THE TOTAL OVER 2 GRAND IN LESS THAN A WEEK!!! , BUT MY BLOWER WORKS PERFECT WTF !!! EVERYTHING BEGAN THAT MORNING.... BECAUSE OF THE CABLE THAT SHORTED !!! OH AND ON TOP OF THAT THE TURBO IS MAKING NOISES AND I THINK ITS FAILING NOW!!! .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 73000 miles. Bmw 335i 2008 problem was reported in PFLUGERVILLE, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
