BMW 335XI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 07, 2008.BMW 335XI 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . I OWN A BMW 2008 335 XI AND HAVE HAD THREE FUEL PUMPS AND PISTONS CHANGED ON IT. THE TIME BEFORE TODAY, THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTIONED AND PISTONS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE GAS WAS BURNING AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE RIGHT TAIL PIPE. TODAY IT WAS TOWED FOR THE FOURTH FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT AND BURNING GAS SMOKE WAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE RIGHT TAIL PIPE WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. IN EVERY INSTANCE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WILL STOP IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED IN THE CITY BECAUSE I FREQUENT THE NJ TURNPIKE AND AM FEARFUL IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE ON THE TURNPIKE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND BMW IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY JUST REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS WITH FAULTY FUEL PUMPS. PLEASE HELP ME ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I AM SCARE THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS IT IS GOING TO CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND INJURIES (INCLUDING DEATH). *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 36000 miles.

BMW 335XI 2008 Safety Review #10268585

BMW 335XI 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 10, 2009.BMW 335XI 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . ON SUNDAY MAY 10, 2009, I WAS DRIVING MY BMW 335 WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE CAR SHAKING AND BREAKING DOWN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE BMW DEALERSHIP TO BE NOTIFIED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND IT WAS BECAUSE I USED 15% ETHANOL GAS. THIS IS ABSURD AS I HAVE BEEN USING THE GAS RECOMMENDED BY BMW AND I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT, ALL GAS IN NEW YORK STATE CONTAINS THE LEGAL 10% ETHANOL SO I DON'T SEE HOW ANY CONSUMER COULD KNOW IF THE ETHANOL PERCENTAGE IS HIGHER THAN WHAT THEY ARE PUTTING IN. THE HPFP IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN MANY 335 MODELS AND BMW HAS EVEN ISSUED A RECALL OVER IT IN THE PAST, THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS IS A FAULT IN THE FUEL PUMP AND BMW IS ATTEMPTING TO PIN IT ON BAD GAS AND TRYING TO DENY WARRANTY COVERAGE. *TR.Mileage was 2270 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAWC73569E. Bmw 335xi 2008 problem was reported in MIDDLE VILLAGE, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 30 mph.

BMW 335XI 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 16, 2009.BMW 335XI 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . I WAS DRIVING ON A THOROUGHFARE AND SUDDENLY THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF IN MY CAR AND THE POWER DECREASED. THE WARNING SAID "ENGINE MALFUNCTION--REDUCED POWER." THE CAR BASICALLY LOST POWER AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO GET KILLED AS I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH CARS CAREENING AROUND ME AND ALMOST REAR ENDING ME. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THE 330 SERIES OF BMWS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO A SUCCESSION OF HIGH POWER FUEL PUMPS IN THE TWIN ENGINES. WHY HASN'T THIS PROBLEM BEEN ADDRESSED? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE? I AM A WRECK AND DON'T THINK I CAN TRUST BMW. THEY KEEP PUTTING IN DIFFERENT PUMPS IN OTHER PEOPLES CARS FROM THE BOARDS, AND THEY STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR.Mileage was 3400 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAWC73518E.

BMW 335XI 2008 Safety Review #10280030

BMW 335XI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2008.BMW 335XI 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . I FEEL THIS SITUATION WARRANTS YOUR IMMEDIATE REVIEW FOR A POSSIBLE FORCED RECALL. MY 2008 BMW 335XI BEGAN HAVING SPORADIC PROBLEMS IN SEPTEMBER 2009. BECAUSE OF MY DISTANCE TO A DEALERSHIP AND LONG TIME BETWEEN PROBLEMS I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. BY DECEMBER THE PROBLEMS BECAME MORE SEVERE AND FREQUENT. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD BECOME ILLUMINATED, THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER POWER AND THE CAR WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD FIRST TAKEN THE CAR TO A BMW DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON JAN 2, 2009 AND THEN AGAIN TO A BMW SERVICE CENTER 3 MORE TIMES. IN ALL 4 CASES THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED TO HAVE MADE A SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. IN ALL 4 CASES THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE 5TH TIME TAKEN TO A DEALER AND MY CALLING THE REGIONAL MANAGER AND THREATENING TO RETURN THE CAR THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FINALLY REPLACED. BASED ON COMMENTS MADE BY TECHNICIANS I SUSPECT THAT BMW REALIZES IT HAS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND THEY HAVE IMPLEMENTED A STALL POLICY ON REPLACING THE UNITS TO SPREAD OUT THE FINANCIAL IMPACT AND/OR HOPE THE PROBLEM EXTENDS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE DANGER WITH THIS ACTION IS THAT IT PLACES THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS AT RISK AS THE CAR CAN STALL WITHOUT OUT WARNING SUCH AS IN AN INTERSECTION AS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TR .Mileage was 8000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAVD53598A. Bmw 335xi 2008 problem was reported in ST. MARYS, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ON THE N54 ENGINE IN MY 2008 335XI HAS GONE BAD TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH. I AM VERY TIRED OF THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY EVIDENCE OF BMW DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS HAZARD TO THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS. THERE WILL BE LONG CRANKS STARTING THE CAR AND AFTER A FEW DAYS/WEEKS THE FUEL PUMP WILL FAIL. IT FAILS PRETTY OFTEN IT SEEMS. MY FIRST ONE FAILED AROUND 27,500 MILES AND MY SECOND ONE FAILED TODAY AT JUST UNDER 29,200 MILES A MONTH AFTER I REPLACED THE FIRST PUMP. I HAVE THE OLD PART IN MY GARAGE AND I'LL HAVE A SECOND ONE AS SOON AS I RECEIVE AND INSTALL MY NEXT PUMP. *TR.Bmw 335xi 2008 problem was reported in MORGANTOWN, WV.

BMW 335XI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 18, 2010.BMW 335XI 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . THE BRAKE SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE LOST ITS THREE PRESS BOOST. AFTER ABOUT 2 YEARS, UPON STARTING THE CAR (2008 BMW 335XI AUTO) THE PRESS ON THE BRAKE IS STIFF. IT IS STIFF BECAUSEIT SEEMS TO HAVE LOSS THE 3 PRESS BOOST. THE BOOST THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE DRIVER IN CASE OF ENGINE FAILURE. NO OTHER CARE I HAVE OWNED LEAKS OUT ITS BOOST OVERNIGHT. BMW ADMITTED THAT THE BRAKE CHECK VALVE WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED PART. I ASKED WHAT THIS NEW DESIGN WAS AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME. I READ ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WHICH STARTS WITH A STIFF BRAKE PEDAL THEN IT DEGRADES INTO THE SYSTEM NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE CAR. BMW TO THEIR CREDIT IMMEDIATELY FOUND ANOTHER PART AND LOANED ME A CAR IN THE MEANTIME. THE LOANED CAR HOWEVER DID NOT SHOW THIS STIFF PEDAL ISSUE. THE NEW PART THEY PUT IN AFTER ABOUT 1 MONTH STARTED TO LOSE BOOST IN THE MORNINGS OFF AND ON. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL? I"M WORRIED THAT IF I LOSE ENGINE FUNCTION GOING DOWN A HILL SOMEWHERE THAT THEY THREE PRESS BOOST WON'T BE THEIR FOR ME IF WE ALLOW IT TO GET WORSE. SUFFICE TO SAY, ONCE THE ENGINE STARTS YOU GET THE NORMAL POWER ASSISTED BRAKING; HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ENGINE OFF THREE BRAKE PRESS SAFETY REQUIREMENT. *TR.Mileage was 30000 miles.

BMW 335XI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 17, 2010.BMW 335XI 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . THE CAR STARTED BUT IT STARTED EXTREMELY "ROUGH" WITH THE ENGINE RPMS RACING THEN DROPPING DOWN TO 500 RPMS, FEELING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. EVENTUALLY IT EVENED OUT. UNFORTUNATELY STARTING ISSUES ARE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR SIMILAR STARTING ISSUES. THEY REPLACED: THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH BMW KNOWS IT HAS ISSUES WITH, MADE "SOFTWARE" UPDATES, AND REPLACED THE DMA. THIS TIME, HOWEVER, WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIVE IT AND TURN ON TO A BUSY STREET, I ESSENTIALLY LOST MOST OF THE POWER IN THE CAR. IT WAS EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING TO STEP ON THE GAS, EXPECT THE CAR TO RESPOND AND IT DIDN'T. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET ON A BUSY FREEWAY. THANKFULLY, IT WASN'T BUT I AM WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IF I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. AFTER RESEARCHING TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES, INDEED THEY HAVE. ALL ISSUES SEEM TO BE RELATED TO BMW'S HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ISSUE, WHICH THEY CLEARLY HAVE NOT SOLVED GIVEN MANY HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE SAME UNFORTUNATE OUTCOME OF GOING BAD AGAIN. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED BY THE DEALER BUT AM NOW HAVING ISSUES AGAIN. DETAILED ACCOUNTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET (SOME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY) AND I AM SURPRISED THE NHTSA HASN'T DONE ANY SERIOUS INVESTIGATION, NOR FORCED BMW TO RECALL EITHER THE VEHICLE OR REPLACE ALL PARTS THAT ARE AFFECTED AND NEEDED TO CORRECTLY FIX THE ISSUE (FUEL PUMP, LOW PRESSURE SENSOR, FUEL INJECTORS, ETC.). I AM CONSIDERING CONTACTING REPORTERS BECAUSE THIS IS A TOYOTA TYPE SAFETY ISSUE WAITING TO HAPPEN. WHILE IT MAY ONLY HAPPEN IN A CERTAIN % OF VEHICLES, DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND PROPERLY CORRECTED? PEOPLE HAVE BEEN "LUCKY" THUS FAR, BUT THIS REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE MUST FORCE BMW TO ADDRESS IT. *TR.Mileage was 30609 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAVD53588A.

BMW 335XI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 18, 2011.BMW 335XI 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . I OWN A 2008 BMW 335XI. THE FUEL SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY, AND THE ENGINE LOOSES POWER SUDDENLY ON THE FREEWAY, THE RPM DROPS, AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARD TO GET TO A COMFORTABLE SPEED OF 60MPH, THE CAR STILL DOESN'T DRIVE AT FULL REGULAR POWER. I FIRST COMPLAINED 4 MONTHS AGO, THEY SAID IT'S NOTHING. I COMPLAINED AGAIN A MONTH AFTERWARDS. THE DEALER SAID THERE'S A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP RECALL AND KEPT THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 1 WEEK. 3 MONTHS AFTERWARDS, THIS WEEK, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME POWER LOSS AGAIN ON A SMALLER SCALE. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION, I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICE, THE DEALER SAID IT HAS A RECALL AGAIN FOR THE SAME FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE - HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP LOSS OF PRESSURE. MY CAR IS STILL WITH THE DEALER, I DON'T KNOW IF AND WHEN THEY COULD FIX IT. I DON'T SEE A SECOND RECALL ON THIS ISSUE YET. AND BMW DID NOT SEND ME A RECALL LETTER YET. I THINK ALL OF BMWS TWIN TURBO POWERED CARD SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF ROADS AND CHECKED AND FIXED BEFORE THERE'S ANY LOSS OF LIVES OR PROPERTY. AT THIS POINT CLEARLY, BMW DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A FIX FOR THIS. A NHTSA INVESTIGATION IN TO THIS ISSUE WOULD BE APPRECIATED AND ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE ISSUE. UNTIL THIS IS FIXED, BMW'S TWIN TURBO POWERED CARS SHOULD BE PUT ON "DO NOT RECOMMEND" LIST AS FAR AS SAFETY. *TR.Mileage was 35700 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAVD53598A. Bmw 335xi 2008 problem was reported in FREMONT, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS. Bmw 335xi 2008 drive type:AWD.

BMW 335XI 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 14, 2012.BMW 335XI 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ENGINE . VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, APPEARS TO BE AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION. TOOK TO BMW DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE WARRANTY HAS JUST EXPIRED SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. IT APPEARS MANY INDIVIDUALS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR YR, MAKE & MODEL SO UNSURE OF WHY BMW HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THIS ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY THE MANUFACTURER AS FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH IT OCCURRING ON THE HIGHWAY IT CAN DEFINITELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29500 miles.

THE CAR WOULD NOT START AS INDICATED ON THE RECALL. THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED FROM THE BAD CABLES. I REPLACED THE CABLES AT BMW UNDER THE RECALL A D WAS CHARGED FOR REPROGRAMMING. TO REPLACE THE CONNECTORS IT WOULD NEED REPROGRAMMED AND I FEEL THE BATTERY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THEIR RECALL. THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. THE LIGHTS WORKED AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS JUST WOULD NOT START. BMW ADVISED IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY BUT WOULD NOT INCLUDE ON THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM. IF THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CABLE THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPROGRAM IT EITHER WAY, NEW BATTERY OR THE EXISTING BATTERY AS THEY WOULD NOT LEAVE IT "HOT" WHILE WORKING ON IT. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 95000 miles.

MY MODEL CAR HAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL INJECTORS. MY VEHICLE'S FUEL INJECTORS HAVE MISFIRED AND HAVE CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO REMAIN ON IN MY CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED BMW SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE TOLD ME MULTIPLE STORIES AS TO WHY THEY WILL NOT HONOR MY CAR UNDER THIS RECALL. ONE REASON THEY GIVE IS MY VIN #, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS THE RECALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEN THEY SAY MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THOUGHT THE PURPOSE OF A RECALL IS THAT IT REPAIRS YOUR CAR EVEN IF IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE SPENT OVER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. BMW WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME OR FIX THE CAR UNDER THE RECALL THAT I KNOW MY CAR FALLS UNDER. THE RECALL IS EVEN LISTED ON MY FAILED DMV INSPECTION REPORT, AND THEY ARE STILL NOT COOPERATING.
