NHTSA Complaint #11351800 — 2013 BMW X3

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 75 S NEAR MONROE, MI. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. I RECEIVED A WARNING OIL PRESSURE LOW STOP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE NOTIFICATION FROM MY CAR. I COULD NOT STOP FOR ANOTHER FEW MILES DUE TO HAVING NO WHERE TO STOP IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. MY CAR DIED WHILE PULLING OFF THE NEXT EXIT RAMP. I WAS STRANDED FOR HOURS AND HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK COME GET MY CAR. THE ENGINE WAS DETERMINED TO BE SHOT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE BRAKING INTO MULTIPLE PIECES PLUGGING THE OIL PUMP. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE ENGINE COMING OUT OF TIME AND CAUSES THE VALVES TO SLAM INTO THE PISTONS. THIS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE N20 BMW ENGINE AND IT A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING ONE. I PAID OVER $7000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OF MY CAR.
