Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THAT BMW HAD A RECALL FOR ENGINES N54. I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS THE N54, MY ENGINE IS THE N55. MY CAR IS NOT USABLE AND BMW DOES NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS ON MY N55 ENGINE. BMW CLEARLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE MANUFACTURING OF THESE HIGH PRESSURE PUMPS WERE BAD THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL DONE FOR THE N55. WHAT I AM LOOKING IS FOR BMW TO COVER THIS ISSUE.
