Timing chain guide assembly and oil pump drive chain failed catastrophically. Vehicle is available for inspection, however the authorized BMW dealership has already made clear they will accept no responsibility, and I would bear the expense of towing it two hours to their facility. The failure is a known issue with a class action case, but BMW took no responsibility, and falsified information stating the vehicle showed no signs of an issue when I brought my vehicle in for inspection.  Eighteen months before failure, steam came from the engine compartment on a humid day, later connected to the water pump electrical connector recall. Following this, the vehicle ran consistently hotter than normal and lost noticeable power. Twelve months before failure, an intermittent oil pressure warning began triggering under load at highway speeds, particularly on inclines above 70mph. I brought the vehicle to Sandia BMW in Albuquerque, NM and reported all symptoms when I was contacted by them for the recall. The service advisor falsely claimed elevated operating temperature was optimal, suspected a faulty sensor, and returned the vehicle without offering further diagnosis or making me aware of the impending issue, all classic signs of the engine faults. Eight weeks later, the oil pressure light activated on a highway, followed immediately by a drivetrain malfunction warning, a violent grinding sound, and complete loss of power. The vehicle was towed and has not restarted since. I contacted BMW of North America's recall line. A case was opened and an advocate stated BMW would accept no responsibility because the class action was closed and I'mpast 70K miles. I raised the dealership's direct culpability. The advocate stated a dealership representative would contact me. No call was ever received. This failure is consistent with BMW Service Bulletin SI B11 03 17. A engine safety recall is warranted regardless of age to protect the public.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"328I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11713400,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/26/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"01/26/2026","vin":"WBA3A5C52DF","components":"FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE","summary":"The contact owns a 2013 BMW 328I.

As an owner of a 2013 3 series sedan, this seems unconscionable that BMW, after becoming aware of this issue so soon after manufacture/sale, wouldn't correct the known issue in their vehicles.

THE FIRST DEFECT AFFECTS THE PRIMARY CHAIN, ALSO KNOWN AS THE TIMING CHAIN, WHICH COORDINATES THE ACTION OF THE CRANKSHAFT, CAMSHAFTS, AND CYLINDER VALVES.    ACCORDING TO THE PLAINTIFFS, THE PLASTIC GUIDE ASSEMBLY FOR THE PRIMARY CHAIN IS MADE OF A DEFECTIVE POLYCARBONATE MATERIAL THAT BECOMES BRITTLE AND BREAKS APART, CREATING DEBRIS THAT LODGES IN THE CRANKSHAFT DRIVE SPROCKETS. THE DEBRIS CAN CAUSE THE PRIMARY CHAIN TO SKIP, LETTING THE CAMSHAFTS AND CRANKSHAFT FALL OUT OF SYNC AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING OR DESTROYING THE ENGINE.    THE SECOND DEFECT AFFECTS THE SECONDARY CHAIN, WHICH CONNECTS THE OIL PUMP AND BALANCE SHAFT ASSEMBLY TO THE CRANKSHAFT.

BY EXHAUST NOTES 11 HOURS AGO  BMW IS RECALLING 176,000 CARS WORLDWIDE TO FIX POWER BRAKE FAILURES, ACCORDING TO WIRE REPORTS AND FILINGS WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.    ON 2012-2014 BMW MODELS WITH THE COMPANY'S NEW 2.0-LITER TURBOCHARGED 4-CYLINDER ENGINE -- INCLUDING THE Z4 SDRIVE28I, 320I AND 328I, 528I, X1 SDRIVE28I AND XDRIVE28I, AND THE X3 XDRIVE28I -- THE ENGINE VACUUM PUMP CAN LOSE PRESSURIZED OIL MEANT TO DRIVE THE POWER BRAKE MECHANISM.     DUE TO A POOR FIT OF THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT'S SEAL DISK, OIL MAY BE BLOCKED FROM LEAVING THE ENGINE TO LUBRICATE THE VACUUM PUMP, WHICH COULD THEN CAUSE THE VACUUM PUMP TO FAIL AND THE LOSS OF POWER-ASSIST BRAKING. WHILE THE BRAKES WOULD STILL WORK, STOPPING DISTANCES WOULD INCREASE DUE TO INCREASED DRIVER FORCE NEEDED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL.    A TOTAL OF 76,190 CARS ARE AFFECTED IN THE U.S. THE DIESEL-POWERED 328D IS NOT AFFECTED.
