NHTSA Complaint #10971180 — 2014 BMW 328D

ALL 3 SERIES FROM 2014 WERE RECALLED BY BMW EXCEPT DIESELS. MY CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD 328 DIESEL AND THE FUEL PUMP DISINTEGRATED CAUSING ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM TO BE CONTAMINATED WITH NICKEL SHAVINGS. THE RECALLED GAS BMWS FROM 2014 EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS SO CLEARLY MY CAR HAS THE SAME FAULTY FUEL PUMP WITH IMPROPER NICKEL PLATING INSTALLED, AND SHOULD ALSO BE UNDER THIS RECALL. SINCE I COMMUTE (HENCE DIESEL) A LOT AND MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY DESPITE THE FACT IS 3 YEARS OLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUTRAGEOUS $13,000 TO RESURRECT IT. IN FACT I ALMOST DIED WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED WITH THE INFAMOUS "POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION" MESSAGE. I HAD A HARD TIME PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR, JUST LIKE ANY 2014 GASOLINE VERSIONS, SHOULD BE UNDER THE SAME BMW RECALL AND THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE COMPANY FOR FREE, NOT A THIRD OF THE PRICE OF THE CAR! I HAVE PICTURES OF FUEL TANK FULL OF NICKEL PARTICLES, AND THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF. THEY ARE MADE BY BOSH NOT BMW AND CLEARLY NOT DONE PROPERLY. THE NEW PUMP IS DIFFERENT NOW SO BMW FIXED IT, YET THEY DON'T ADMIT THEY EVEN CHANGED THIS PART. IF THEY NOTIFIED THEIR COSTUMERS, I'D JUST REPLACED THE PUMP FOR $1250, NOT AN ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM FOR SUCH ENORMOUS PRICE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SUCH FAULTY CARS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED FOR SALE IN US. IF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP DESTROYS ITSELF AND THE ENTIRE FUELS SYSTEM INCLUDING LOW PRESSURE PUMP AND EVEN A FUEL TANK, THIS IS CLEARLY A BADLY DESIGN CAR. I HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS JUST AFTER 1.5 YEARS OF USING THE CAR (I PURCHASED BRAND NEW) BECAUSE OF A SLOW PILLING NICKEL SHAVINGS. I HAVE THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND ALREADY PAID OVER $10,000 FOR MAINTENANCE! THIS HAPPENED IN THE CITY DRIVING AROUND A ROUNDABOUT AT NIGHT AND CAR WAS IN MOTION.
