Consumer Description

The high-pressure fuel pump failed while the car was in motion and the engine completely shut off. This was incredibly dangerous and put the lives of the driver, passenger (young child) and surrounding cars at risk. The problem was diagnosed by an independent BMW service center and is currently being repaired. There were no warning lights or messages apparent to the driver, but the service technician could see the diagnostic codes in the car's computer. There is an active recall for the 2017 diesel model of the BMW X3 due to this same fuel pump failure. This is not normal wear and tear - this car only has about 50,000 miles on it.
