NHTSA Complaint #10551398 — 2011 BMW 550I

I HAVE PREPARED A PDF DOCUMENT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT AS WELL. I CAN SUPPLY IT AT ANY TIME. HERE IS THE SHORT VERSION. 10/17/13: I HAVE THE FAMILY COME WITH ME FOR A RIDE AND THEN THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO MALFUNCTIONS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THE VEHICLE IS STRUGGLING TO EVEN DRIVE AT THIS POINT AND I AM ON THE FREEWAY TRYING TO MAKE IT TO AN EXIT. THE HESITATION BECOMES WORSE AND WORSE I START TO FEAR THAT I MAY BECOME STRANDED ON A BUSY ROADWAY. I MAKE IT OFF THE EXIT AND HOME. 10/18/13: (D/O VEHICLE MILEAGE: 29,375) I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO CONCORD BMW FOR INSPECTION; [XXX] IS THE SERVICE CONSULTANT AT BMW OF CONCORD. 10/19/13: (P/U VEHICLE MILEAGE: 29,379) [XXX] TELEPHONES ME TO INFORM ME THAT IT WAS A QUICK FIX AND THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. I COME TO SIGN FOR THE VEHICLE AND RELEASE THE RENTAL. NOT EVEN 10 MINUTES AFTER I AM IN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE IT MALFUNCTIONS IDENTICALLY AGAIN. I CALL BACK TO TELL THEM I AM DROPPING IT OFF, ONCE AGAIN.
