2007 BMW 3 SERIES Fuelpropulsion System Problems

VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN 10E-A02: N54 CAR IS SMOKING EXCESSIVELY DUE TO FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS DUMPING FUEL INTO THE ENGINE IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. FUEL LEAKING AND FUMES/SMELL, HAZARD, WILL CAUSE FIRE.

I HAVE A 2007 BMW 328I WITH 120,000 MILES. MY CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO, EVERY TIME I GO INTO MY CAR IT SMELLS LIKE GAS IT GIVES ME A HEADACHE.

MY CAR HAD ALL 6 FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED AT 35,XXX MILES BACK IN FEB OF 2010. NOW AT 69,285 MILES ALL SIX HAVE FAILED AGAIN. THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE CAUSING SOMEONE TO REAR END ME ON AN ON RAMP. FAILING INJECTORS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS ENGINE. THESE INJECTORS HAVE A 120,000 MILE SERVICE INTERVAL BUT THEY FAILED FOR ME AT NEARLY EXACTLY 35,000 TWICE. HOPEFULLY ENOUGH PEOPLE WILL MAKE THIS AN ISSUE TO HAVE THIS BECOME A RECALL. *TR

THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT. SOMETIMES, WHEN I STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THEN START TO GO, THE CAR HESITATE TO GO. IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TEST EQUIPMENT. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE HIT BY OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF IT. SINCE THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT, I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING IT ON-LINE AND LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL. ALL OF SUDDEN, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. I HAD TO PULL OVER THE SHOULDER AND STOP THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT DIDN'T SUCCEED. I HAD TO ASK FOR TOWING TO THE MECHANIC. AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FUEL PUMP FUSE PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN DEC 2006. SO I HAD TO PAY IT MYSELF FOR THE REPAIR ($600) *JS

MY WIFE WAS DEPARTING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE ON BASE HERE IN GERMANY. SHE ACCELERATED TO 35 MPH AND EXPERIENCED STALLED ACCELERATION AS SHE WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE MAIN ROAD. MY WIFE WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS AND THE CAR APPEARED NOT TO BE RUNNING. SHE ATTEMPTED TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS IT ROLLED TO A STOP. SHE WAS STUCK IN THE RIGHT HAND TURN LANE ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND WAITED FOR SECURITY FORCES PATROLMAN THAT STOPPED AND HELPED PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. *TR
