NHTSA Complaint #10629616 — 2008 BMW 335I

CAR HAD FUEL PUMP INITIALLY REPLACED WHEN CAR STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. BMW NA WILL TRY TO AVOID THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. NOTE INJECTORS FOR THE N54 ENGINE ARE ALSO ON A WORLD WIDE RECALL. NOW THE INJECTION PUMP FROM A RECALL IS BEING CALLED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000. MILES WELL IT HAPPENED, GOT HIT BY A CAR FROM REAR WHEN MY 335I STALLED!!!!!! I WAS EXPERIENCING EXTENDED STARTS, FOLLOWED BY ENGINE STALLING REPEATEDLY FOR 3 ATTEMPTS THEN IT WILL CLEAR OUT. NOW WHEN LIGHT LOAD IS APPLIED THE ENGINE LIGHT WITH THE ENGINE HALF GRADED OUT APPEARS (REDUCED POWER), ENGINE RUNNING VIOLENTLY ROUGH CODES COMES UP ARE P142E & P3090. THEY WANTED ME TO REPLACE MY INJECTORS FIRST BECAUSE THEY SAID I HAVE "OLD INJECTORS" NOTE WHEN HPFP WAS REPLACED THEY REPLACED THE RECALLED INJECTORS BUT THEY CHANGED ONLY 4 ! EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT'S A 6 CYLINDER I WANTED TO TELL BMW THAT WHEN THEY BUILT THE ENGINE THEY INSTALLED ALL 6 NEW INJECTORS. THEIR REPLY WAS IT ONLY NEEDED 4 AT THAT TIME, WELL WHAT A OUT NOW YOUR TELLING ME I NEED TO REPLACE ALL 6 BECAUSE THEIR OLD INJECTORS SO THE REPLACEMENT DONE WAS TO MASK THE PROBLEM!!! TO THIS DATE THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THE CURRENT ENGINE PLATE FORM N54 - N55 EPIC FAILURE. SOME SAY ITS ALSO REPLACEMENT OF JUST A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. I'M CHANGING MINE ON MONDAY BOUGHT IT ONLINE FROM A BMW DEALER INSTALLATION IS 2-2.5 HOURS BASIC TOOLS NEEDED AND CARE. *TR
