Consumer Description

High pressure fuel pump Stalling almost caused an accident Yes the problem has been confirmed by BMW BMW has inspected the component Check engine light and drivetrain errors BMW replaced a high pressure fuel pump and fuel system in 2019, see attachment. I was not notifies of the 2021 BMW recall for the high pressure fuel pump. The high pressure fuel pump fail in 2025, see attachment at around 60,000 on the replaced high pressure fuel pump in 2019, less than the original fuel pump. BMW now says they are not going to repair this because of the age and mileage on the car. My position is the mileage on the car is irrelevant. It’s the mileage on the fuel system replaced in 2019. In addition, I was not notified of the recall in 2021and now the question is “ is the high pressure fuel pump replaced in 2019 the same fuel pump replacement part that came with the car when new? Obliviously the 2021 recall may have upgraded the fuel pump to satisfy the recall. If so, that should have been put into my car in 2021. BMW has been very deceiving on answering my questions.
