Consumer Description

Multiple fuel injector malfunction codes have been displayed by the vehicle repeatedly over the course of the last 10k miles. These malfunctions are causing the Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate and remain on. This issue is documented to affect multiple vehicles with the same engine/injectors. BMW has provided an extended warranty for some vehicles with this engine/injector combination. However not all vehicles with this engine/injectors are covered by the warranty extension. This issue has cause noticeably lower fuel milage as well as random violent jerking while leaving from a stop, accelerating, and traveling at speed. A multiple injector failure while in motion has a potential to create a safety issue for the occupants of the affected vehicle and those of surrounding vehicles if the vehicle suddenly looses power or drive at highway speed.
