Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON WOODALL ROGERS FWY IN DALLAS, WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO BMW. THEY SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A PREVIOUS RECALL ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP AND GAVE ME A $3,000 QUOTE. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED A WATER PUMP AND OTHER ITEMS. HOWEVER, THE RECALL INFORMATION I HAVE BEEN READING DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. WHENEVER I DRIVE MY CAR NOW AND I ACCELERATE, IT STILL GIVES ME AN ENGINE WARNING AND STARTS SHAKING. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS "SUFFERING" FROM THE WATER PUMP ISSUE.
