NHTSA Complaint #10377129 — 2009 BMW 335I

2009 BMW 335I HAS HAD ENGINE RUN AT HALF POWER NUMEROUS TIMES. ONLY ONCE WAS IT ABLE TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TIME FOR THEM TO RETRIEVE ANY DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND ACT ON IT AT THAT POINT IN TIME, HOWEVER IT HAS SUFFERED SIMILAR BEHAVIOR SINCE THIS POINT AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY ARE UNABLE TO RETRIEVE DATA, EVEN WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO OF THE EVENT OCCURRING AND STATE THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND WAS RELYING ON THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A TURN AT A REASONABLE SPEED PRIOR TO TRAFFIC ARRIVING AND THE CAR SIMPLY GAVE OUT AND REDUCED ITSELF TO HALF POWER (PER THE ERROR ON THE SCREEN). QUITE NEARLY GOT ME IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FILING DATE ON THIS IS THE MOST RECENT, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, OF THE INCIDENT OCCURRING. I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS SITE UNTIL NOW SO IT'S POSSIBLE THE DATE IS OFF BY AS MUCH AS 4-6 WEEKS. *TR
