NHTSA Complaint #10293901 — 2008 BMW 5 SERIES

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HARD STARTING; MOST RECENTLY THE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY AND SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS DURING MORNING TRAFFIC FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE TO BOSTON, MA. AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THERE WAS POSSIBLY SOME INDICATION OF GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE BMW DEALERSHIP REPORTS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM IN ITS LATE MODEL VEHICLES YET I HAVE HAD NO WARNINGS OR RECALL NOTICE FROM THE FACTORY. TWO ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS . THE WAGON WILL VISIT THE SHOP FOR A THIRD TIME TOMORROW ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THE MALFUNCTION. *TR
