(1) Failed component: High Pressure Fuel Pump (2) The vehicle complete shut down without warning leaving the driver stranded on the road. (3) The problem has been assessed and confirmed. (4) The vehicle has been inspected by a certified BMW mechanic. (5) There was no warning prior to failure. Description: While driving at approximately 30 mph, the vehicle shut down. I was told by a certified BMW mechanic that the high pressure fuel pump imploded, sending metal chards through the fuel injection line thereby disabling the vehicle entirely. I inquired as to whether or not a recall had been issued and BMW told me it had not been issued for my vehicle. I have since learned that a recall was issued due to this exact problem but my VIN was not included in the recall, even though it is the year make and model associated with this very problem. The...
The high-pressure fuel pump failed causing the engine to stop completely without any prior warning and the car put itself in park on the highway and would not get out of park to go into neutral or any other gear. This could have caused a very serious crash and highly increased my risk of injury or death. You are more than welcome to inspect it. It is currently sitting at the dealership waiting for a resolution. My safety and the safety of many others on the 65mph highway were put at risk when the car completely stopped in the middle of the road and would not move until the tow truck arrived to drag it on their truck (would not even go into neutral).

I WAS DRIVING APPX 45 MPH (SPEED LIMIT) ON A SUBURBAN STREET WHEN THE CAR RAN OUT OF POWER, SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL AND BECAME TOTALLY LIMP. MEANWHILE, THE IMAGE ON THE NAVI SCREEN STATED, "POWERTRAIN FAILURE, DRIVE MODERATE SPEED" OR SOMETHING LIKE IT. I MANAGED TO MAKE A VERY SLOW LEFT TURN ONTO A CROSS STREET B/C I WAS IN SHOCK. I WAS ALMOST KILLED BY AN ONCOMING CAR GOING 45-50 MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO RUSNAK BMW; AFTER INVESTIGATION, THEY STATED IT HAD A "BAD FUEL PUMP," AND THAT THEY HAVE "COUNTLESS FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS WITH BMW DIESEL CARS". THE CAR NOW HAS A NEW FUEL PUMP. I COULD HAVE DIED!
