NHTSA Complaint #10352134 — 2007 BMW 335I

I OWN A 2007 BMW 335I. A FEW MONTHS AGO AFTER A SERVICE ISSUE FOR AN UNRELATED PROBLEM, MY VEHICLE DASH DISPLAY WENT HAYWIRE AND SHOWED AN ENGINE PROBLEM. I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEED AND SUDDENLY NO POWER. THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO GET OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAILED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. AFTER SOME RECENT RESEARCH I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, YET THERE HAVE BEEN NO MANDATORY RECALLS, MERELY REPLACEMENTS PUMP THAT IN MANY CASES FAILS AGAIN. I SEE THIS AS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE THAT IS WAITING TO OCCUR GIVEN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR
