Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED AND LOST POWER. DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION TROUBLE LIGHTS LIT UP THE DASH. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC BEFORE COASTING TO A STOP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BMW SOUTH AUSTIN AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY FUEL TRANSFER PUMP, AND A FAULTY FUEL TANK. ESSENTIALLY I HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL WITH 1/4 TANK SHOWING ON THE GAUGES. BMW DENIED MY REQUEST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE "IN TANK FUEL PUMP". I GUESS PEOPLE NEED TO DIE IN TRAFFIC WHEN THEY RUN OUT OF FUEL UNSUSPECTINGLY FOR BMW TO CARE OR ISSUE A RECALL.
