2008 BMW 535I Fuelpropulsion System Problems

HPFP IS GOING BAD ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON LONG CRANK START

I WAS DRIVING HOME STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT , THEN TURNED GREEN WENT TO ACCELERATE CAR TOOK OFF AND LOST ALL POWER WOULD NOT MOVE PRESSING ACCELERATOR AND 2 SEMI TRUCKS COMING REAL FAST FROM CROSS TRAFFIC ALMOST KILLED ME LIGHT TURNED RED FOR ME AND GREEN FOR SEMI TRAILERS WITH NO TIME TO EXIT CAR.

CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH A WASTEGATE RATTLE ON TURBOS. ROUGH ENGINE IDLE. HAVING MULTIPLE MISFIRES, AND STUCK OPEN FUEL INJECTORS. CAUSING TAILPIPES TO EXCESSIVELY SMOKE (WHITE COLOR) WHILE GOING INTO LIMP MODE COULD NOT GO PAST 20MPH AND SURGING. ISSUES HAPPEN WHEN STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO GET VEHICLE TOWED HOME. 'FUEL INJECTOR RECALL 16E-A01 'HPFP RECALL- COULD NOT FIND NUMBER 'TURBO RECALL- COULD NOT FIND NUMBER

BMW CLEARLY STATES THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL INJECTORS AND RELATED COMPONENTS AND WHEN THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED IT STATES THAT A EMBLEM TO MARK COMPLETED IS PLACED UNDER THE HOOD. ALTHOUGH, THIS IS NOT ON MY VEHICLE NOR DOES IT SHOW BEING COMPLETED ON ANY TYPE OF INFORMATION. BMW IS VERY SECRETIVE ABOUT ALL ISSUES ON THE VEHICLES THAT THEY MANUFACTURER. IN FACT, MOST ALL BMW DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS DO THEIR VERY BEST TOO MAKE YOU PAY FOR NON ISSUES AND WILL NOT REPAIR WHAT IS REALLY FOUND TO BE THE ISSUE. IF NEEDED, I CAN GIVE YOU AT LEAST TWO THAT I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH ABOUT THIS MATTER.

MY CAR IS STALLING WHILE I'M DRIVING. " ENGINE MALFUNCTION REDUCE POWER " THE CODE IS ( P 3090 ) .. IT'S VERY UNSAFE . I DON'T HAVE POWER TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY.. I DRIVE MAINLY INTERSTATES I 75 AND I475 TO MACON GEORGIA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BMW 535I. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH OF THE VEHICLE'S FUEL PUMPS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AGAIN DUE TO A DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURER'S PART. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 01/25/2017*CT UPDATED 6/28/18*JB

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT HAPPENED AS SOON AS I TOOK A CORNER AND HIT THE GAS AND LASTED UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF. VERY ROUGH IDLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I NOTICED ON COMPUTER SCREEN ENGINE MALFUNCTION-REDUCED POWER. SO, I MANUVERED TO GET TO OUTSIDE SHOULDER LANE, AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE.IT WAS SPUTTERING AT THE TIME, AND I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM HAD CLEARED ITSELF, SO I PROCEEDED TO MY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CHECKED ON THE COMPUTER FOR ONLINE INFORMATION, AND SAW A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE, SAFETY HAZZARD. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED LAST YEAR FROM A DEALER WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT, AND AT THAT TIME THE DEALER SAID, "THE OLD OWNER TRADED IT IN ON A NEW VEHICLE." SO, I HAVE NO RECORD IF THIS PROBLEM WAS RECALLED THROUGH THIS 1ST OWNER OR NOT? IT ACTED EXACTLY AS...

I DROVE TO WORK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON THAT MORNING. THE CAR DROVE AS NORMAL. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 P.M ON A BUSY INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE LANE TRAVELING APPROX. 65 MPH WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER. IT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND LOSE POWER. I HAD TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. AFTER TURNING ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS TOWED HOME. AFTER A FEW DAYS, WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP (NOT BMW) AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT SENSORS WERE BAD. REPLACED THEM AND A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SAME ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BAD INJECTORS AND THAT THE FUEL IS BURNING TO RICH. BMW HAD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED...

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LAMPS CAN ON AND MY CAR LOST POWER AND STALL WHILE I WAS DRIVE . LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH AND COAST THE CAR TO SAFE SIDE ROAD UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT IT WILL RUN FOR FEW SECONDS AND DIE, HOWEVER I WASN'T ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. *JS

SMELL OF GAS FUMES IN CAR WHEN STARTED CAR. GAS AND FUMES INCREASED AS CAR IDLED. INFANT ALSO IN CAR. BEGAN FEELING LIGHTHEADED SO HAD TO ROLL DOWN WINDOWS TO MAKE IT HOME. LATER IN EVENING ENTIRE GARAGE WAS CONSUMED WITH GAS FUMES. SENT CAR TO SHOP. FOUND LEAKING FUEL LINE WITH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. *TR

THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM SAID THE FUEL PUMP WAS MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL PANEL [SPEEDOMETER, RADIO, DISPLAY SCREEN, ETC.] BEGIN TO CLICK ON/OFF EACH TIME REAPPEARING WITH APPEARED TO BE EVERYTHING BUT ENGLISH. SOON TO FOLLOW, I RECEIVED A WARNING LIGHT INDICATING "ENGINE OVERHEATED", "ENGINE POWER WAS BEING REDUCED", AND "TO STOP THE VEHICLE" WHEN POSSIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE DIDN'T TRAVEL VERY FAR BEFORE COMPLETE ENGINE POWER WAS LOST DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF "FIRE RISK" AS INDICATED ON THE PANEL. *TR
