Consumer Description

"TAKAYA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING MY CAR (IN MOTION) ON THE HIGHWAY (BMW 328I 2012) WHEN SUDDENLY A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN STATING "FUEL SUPPLY MALFUNCTION" AFTER READING THE MESSAGE THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED MY HAZARDS ON AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD TURN OVER. AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES WITH MY CAR COMPLETELY TURN OFF, IT FINALLY STARTED. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AND MOST RECENTLY TODAY 08/31/2017 ON THE STREETS. IT WAS REALLY SCARY ORDEAL BECAUSE THE OTHER DRIVERS HAD TO SUDDENLY BRAKE! MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND WELL MAINTAINED, SO THIS PROBLEM SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.
