Consumer Description

JUST HAD A NEW FACTORY ENGINE PUT IN MY 2010 BMW 750LI UNDER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, IN AUGUST 2019. DECEMBER 2019 WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR TO GROCERY STORE AND ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED BUCKING AND SMELL OF GAS WAS OVERWHELMING. SHE WAS IN TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED ON THE 50MPH HIGHWAY AND LOST TOTAL POWER. SHE NURSED CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. IT WAS SNOWING OUT AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK FOR AN HOUR IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ASIDE FROM THE OVERWHELMING FUEL SMELL, ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT BY NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED, SHE WAS WAITING IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR TOW TRUCK. THIS, I FOUND OUT, IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. ITS WAS A FUEL INJECTOR THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. THIS IS TRUELY A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PUBLIC. AND AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIX. BMW HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL INJECTORS, BUT SEEM TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND PROFIT HEAVILY FROM THE CUSTOMERS LOSS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
