Consumer Description

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2013 BMW 550I XDRIVE M SPORT. IT KEEPS ON MISFIRING ON CYLINDER NUMBER TWO AND I HAVE CHANGED ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS AND THE INJECTOR FOR THAT CYLINDER. I ALSO USED OCTANE BOOSTER AND SEA FOAM TO CLEAN THE CARBON OUT THE FUEL SYSTEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE IF IT'S STILL MISFIRING ON THAT CYLINDER. IT STARTS UP GOOD AND SOMETIMES IT STARTS UP KIND OF HESITANT. WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER REALLY GOING FAST IT STARTS TO SHAKE AS I AM STOPPED AND WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF IT LURCHES SOMETIMES. I HAVE ONLY HAD MECHANICS WORK ON MY CAR AND CAN'T FIND ANY OTHER EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING RIGHT.
