Vehicle shut down while driving. First time when only 3 to 4 months old on a highway with 55 MPH speed limit in heavy traffic, would not engage gear, had to coast while on the highway with flashers on to reach a safe location. Was repaired at the time - supposedly computer chip problem. Has now occurred for a second time at 16 months old, on a local road with 45 MPH speed limit, vehicle indicated a failure and would not run after pulling over to shoulder. Both incidents were dangerous situations in traffic. Indicator on vehicle stated engine or drive train failure of some sort.

Sometimes when I accelerate to pass a car or semi truck the engine stalls or misfires. It goes into a limp mode and slows down in the middle of passing and I'm forced to pull of on the side of the road and shut the car off and try to reset it. This is the second 2014 BMW 328i that has done this. They could not fix my first 2014 BMW 328i that had the same problem and I had to use the lemon law to get them to buy it back. It is ridiculous that the second new car is now doing the same thing. BMW of macon just keeps it awhile and changes a few parts and tell me its fixed. Within less than a week of having the car back it is doing the same thing. The parts they put on last time were not even new, the took them off of a loaner car. I don't feel safe on the road because I never know wh

What Happened: The issue involves a recall on the engine coolant system of my BMW. The car is currently unsafe to drive, and BMW has not provided a timetable for fixing the problem or offering a solution. The last time I drove the car, I experienced a dangerous malfunction. While driving slowly to the end of my street, I pressed the gas pedal, but the engine did not respond at all. The car essentially lost power, leaving me in the middle of the street. I was able to roll the car in front of a neighbor’s house, turn it off, and restart it. After restarting, I managed to drive it back up the street to my house. I have not driven the car since, as I do not want to put myself or others in danger. Safety Risk: The engine failure occurred while I was driving, which could have put me at risk of

Timing Chain Guide failure after 75k miles resulting in catastrophic engine damage. I was in heavy traffic at 60 mph when the engine began to knock loudly, just as quick the drivetrain malfunction warning came on along with the oil pressure warning light. Immediately lost power & the vehicle went into “Limp Mode” and within a 3 seconds it completely shut down causing a plethora of problems that made it a nightmare to get off of this busy highway. Vehicles were narrowly missing me & blowing their horns while I was trying to coast off of the side of the roadway. All this happened in about 20 to 25 seconds.The car has been in the garage for 6 months & a confirmation was made on the timing chain guide failure. The inlet screen to the oil pump has pieces of the broken guides stuck in it which r

Thermostat was a recall back then, brought it to the dealer they fixed it and now it has come back, i brought it to a mechanic to fix it, and it came back again one more time. thermostat is staying stuck open. safety recall with emissions

Was getting warnings about left rear brake and turn lights malfunctioning for months that would turn on and then go away. On christmas day the brake light and turn light for left rear came on and stayed on. I went and bought bulbs to replace them since at that point the lights were no longer working (instead of a warning that would come on then go right back off once the brake was pressed or left turn signal was used). I took the tail light assembly off to replace the bulbs and once I disconnected the wiring harness I discovered that the ground pin was melted off the tail light side of the connector and stuck into the wiring harnesses. I have never made an NHTSA complaint before, but felt this was dangerous between the fact that 1 it pulled enough current to melt the wiring pin into the ha

Starting Dec 1st, the check engine light displayed on my dash and the electrical system has malfunctioned for many features of my vehicle. I am unable to switch to Sport & Eco Mode. The car also takes multiple tries to start the engine.

My car engine starts to smoke and enters through the vents making it difficult to breathe and forces me to lower my windows. The engine smells burnt after driving.

On feb 20, 2020, I took my car to BMW dealership because I had a left rear signal and brake malfunction. I was given an estimate of approximately 600.00. Based upon my understanding of this issue, this is a manufacturer issue. The circuit board, connector, and wiring must be replaced. After further research, I found that there have been two recalls for this very same issue, but for older model BMW's. Please reference 13v407000 and 17v6766000. BMW also issued a service bulletin to fix this issue. Please reference sib63-0611. Also reference 11v-438 campaign. It is apparent that BMW's are still being produced with the ground wiring issue. If you visit bimmerfest, you will see how many BMW's from 2010- 2014 are still being effected by this issue. If older models were recalled for this issue,

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.

I was driving down the freeway with my son in the back seat when all of a sudden I heard a really loud explosion. I had no idea what had happened, it almost sounded like a loud gunshot. I heard particles falling on my car, but I did not know what they were. I got off of the freeway just to make sure that it wasn't my car. Sure enough, when I got out, I saw a basketball size hole in my moon roof. I knew that nothing had hit the moon roof because I had not gone under an overpass nor I had I seen anything coming at me that would have caused this damage. I went home and checked on the internet and saw damage to another BMW that looked almost identical to mine. The driver of that vehicle explained the same experience that I did, that he had heard a loud boom or pop and there appeared a huge ho
