NHTSA Complaint #11366564 — 2013 BMW X3

TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED. NO WARNING AT ALL. JUST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS I WAS DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, JUST HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON A BUSY ROAD, THE SECOND WAS ON A MUCH LESS BUSY STREET CLOSE TO MY HOME. I HAD IT FIXED TO THE TUNE OF OVER $3000 THE FIRST TIME A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. NOW MY MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THAT IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN AND OIL PUMP DRIVE AND THAT WILL BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. I AM BESIDE MYSELF. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, LORD KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED BUT IT COULD'VE BEEN SOMETHING VERY CATASTROPHIC AND HORRIFIC. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND A WIDOW AND WITH THE PANDEMIC, I WAS OUT OF WORK FOR MANY MONTHS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO BUT I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS CAR FOR SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
