On September 14, 2025, my family experienced an unexpected and horrific incident that could have resulted with tragic consequences. This is not acceptable.   While driving on the freeway at approximately 70 MPH, our vehicle completely malfunctioned in the fast lane and came to an abrupt stop. The thought of a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and crashing into us and potentially causing an explosion would have been catastrophic. Luckily, CHP pushed our vehicle to the shoulder after waiting fearfully for 20 minutes.   I had a diagnostic report completed of my vehicle and it identified that the engine failure was due to the high pressure fuel pump coming apart internally and contaminated the entire fuel system with metal particles. The vehicle is available for inspection by NHTSA, if needed. No warning lamps or messages ever appeared to advise something was wrong.  I have researched and learned that there was a 21V-586 recall for my exact year and model vehicle. I had never received this important notice from BMW and it was not addressed during any of my visits at the dealership every time I brought it in for maintenance. I am appalled at the possible loss of life due to this negligence.  On September 16, 2025, I spoke with BMW customer relations, who advised that the recall I referenced above was only a warranty extension, of which had expired in November 2024. As a result, I just missed the warranty, despite how I experienced the exact issue identified in the recall notice/warranty. My concern again is why was I not notified of this so that I could have brought my vehicle in for inspection and repair, instead of having a close call with a potentially tragic outcome.  BMW needs to recognize this negligence and repair my vehicle as cited in the recall notice/warranty.   There needs to be better accountability to properly notify the consumer. Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"535D","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11682345,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/28/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"08/22/2025","vin":"WBAFV3C56ED","components":"FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"Car stalled at 119,000 miles giving no service codes or indications of need for service.

I was able to safely pull into a parking lot and immediately shut off the engine.  The vehicle was hard to steer but I managed to do it. There were no warning lamps or messages and the control center said \"all systems are okay\"  I looked under the car and saw a significant amount of oil coming from underneath the car.  I opened the hood and saw significant oil on the lower engine.  I called AAA and had the vehicle towed to my local BMW dealership where I had worked done recently around 11/2022.  My service advisor was able to check the car in and told me he would give me an update the next day.  I received an inspection video on 4/25/2023 in which the service technician stated that the car experienced a catastrophic failure:  the driveshaft broke and knocked a hole in the oil pan and broke a few other things. The technician is recommending replacing the driveshaft and the engine assembly.  The technician stated that there could be other repairs involved.  To date, I'm still awaiting to hear back from the service advisor for the cost of repairs.  This was a very scary incident and could have been fatal if I was driving on the highway at a higher rate of speed.  In fact, it could have been fatal on the road I was traveling on because it was during rush hour traffic.  I was extremely lucky to have been able to pull over to safety.

THESE DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTIONS CREATED SCARY LIFE-THREATENING SITUATIONS TO ME AND MY WIFE: ANY 'STALLING' AFTER INITIALLY PULLING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY COULD EASILY LEAD TO THE DRIVER BEING HIT FROM THE SIDE (T-BONING) OR, IF THE CAR WAS MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TRAFFIC, TO REAR-ENDING.     THE FACT THAT THE SAME (AND ADDITIONAL) MALFUNCTIONS RE-OCCURRED AFTER AN UNUSUALLY LENGTHY REPAIR ATTEMPT REPRESENTS IN OUR VIEW A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"535D","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11019802,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/24/2017","dateComplaintFiled":"08/25/2017","vin":"WBAXA5C58ED","components":"FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM IN MY CAR FAILED AT 70MPH ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY ON 8/24/2017.

ALL SEEMED OK. 15 MINUTES LATER IN CHELMSFORD MA, THE CAR GAVE \"DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION, REDUCED POWER, DRIVE GENTLY\" MESSAGE AND CONTINUED TO LOSE POWER AND SLOW DOWN.  I PULLED OVER SAFELY TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED AGAIN. TIRE DEBRIS FROM EARLIER RUPTURED PART OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CAUSED THE CAR TO DUMP DIESEL FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY STOPPED DUE TO RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.  GIVEN THAT THE CAR HAS ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD), A FLATBED TRUCK IS REQUIRED FOR TOWING. NO OTHER TOW METHOD IS ALLOWED.  THIS REQUIRES BEING ABLE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL (N) WHILE THE CAR IS DISABLED AND RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE IN ORDER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE.  THE PARKING BRAKE (ELECTRIC CONTROL) WAS ABLE TO BE RELEASED BUT THERE IS NO EASY WAY AND NO DOCUMENTATION READILY AVAILABLE TO OVERRIDE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT INTERLOCK FOR THE TRANSMISSION.  THE CAR IS UNABLE TO BE PUSHED, TOWED, OR ROLLED WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE CAR IS DISABLED.  PLACING THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL NORMALLY REQUIRES STARTING THE ENGINE FIRST WHICH WAS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO NO FUEL AND THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE OR DOCUMENTED PROCEDURE AVAILABLE TO OVERRIDE THE INTERLOCK SO THAT THE CAR CAN BE MOVED WHILE DISABLED.  THE FLATBED TRUCK OPERATOR HAD TO GET CREATIVE AND SKID THE CAR ONTO THE FLATBED IN ORDER TO PICK IT UP.  THE DISTURBING THING ABOUT THIS INCIDENT IS THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT CONTROL FOR THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO OVERRIDE FOR THE INTERLOCK FOR MOVING THE VEHICLE WHEN DISABLED.  OLDER CARS HAD A MECHANICAL LINK BETWEEN THE SHIFT LEVER AND TRANSMISSION SO A MANUAL OVERRIDE WAS EASY TO DO. NEW CARS NOW HAVE ALL ELECTRONIC CONTROLS INSTEAD OF A MECHANICAL LINKAGE.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"535D","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
