2009 FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE MY 2009 BMW 335 I WITH XDRIVE EXHIBITS SLOW STARTING, TURBO LAG, DECREASED FUEL ECONOMY AND PERFORMANCE. THIS HAS LED TO A FEW INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO QUICKLY MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, MERGE WITH QUICKLY MOVING TRAFFIC, ETC. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ON TWO THEY REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. RECENTLY, THE CAR STARTED EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND I WAS FORCED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON THE OUTCOME. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
2009 FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE I OWN A 2009 BMW 135I WITH THE N54 TWIN TURBO ENGINE. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SUDDENLY DECELERATED. A WARNING LAMP ON THE DASH CAME ON INDICATING THE CAR WAS ONLY OPERATING AT HALF ENGINE POWER. THE CAR WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGHLY AND SHOOK AND SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR....I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A VEHICLE SPEED ABOVE 50MPH. I FINALLY HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND LET TRAFFIC PASS. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT WAS STILL SHAKING AND HEAVING. I REPORTED THIS IMMEDIATELY TO THE BMW SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. WHILE I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, I WAS TOLD THAT BMW WAS UNABLE TO OFFER ANY RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME. SINCE THEN, THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES, EACH TIME IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I FEEL THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND IS LIKELY GOING TO RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. BMW IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND YET SEEMS TO BE UNABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE 135I, 335I AND 535I HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR INSTANCES. WILL YOU PLEASE ENCOURAGE BMW TO RECALL THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEBODY IS HURT OR KILLED? *TR
