Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Automatic transmission failure: drive will not operate in reverse. Can result in cars stalled in intersection, blocking traffic, without capability to avoid collision by backing up.
The electrical box has malfunctioned. As a result the steering locks and the engine stalls without warning. Please provide additional information.
Frozen crankcase ventilation valve caused engine to stall out completely in traffic. No engine restart was possible.
While my foot was firmly on the break, my 2001 bmw 325i seemed to speed up and caused me to crash into the building I was parking in front of. Severe damage across the bottom of my right foot( a bruise the shape of the brake pedal } along with other foot and ankle injuries indicate my foot was indeed on the brake and not on the accelerator as one might think. The damage to the car $ 5,000.00. No answer for what happened from dealer. Approx seven months later, while on an open road approaching stop light again with my foot on brake, car revved up to 4,000 rmp then back down and stalled. Car would not start after this. Towed to different bmw dealer who claimed faulty gas sensors were to blame. Sensors told engine car needed gas when indeed it did not.
When traveling at 45 MPH and 70mph engine stalled out. Once pulling over and waiting a bit vehicle will start up again. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.

Engine and engine cooling: cooling system: fan
- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles, the engine auxiliary/cooling fan operation, including variable speed, is electronically controlled. Failure of the fan motor can cause the electrical circuitry of the fan control unit to overload and fail, causing the fan to stop operating.
- Risk
- If this were to occur, engine overheating and subsequent engine damage could result. In addition, it is possible for the failure of the electrical circuitry to cause a fire in the fan control unit located in the front of the engine compartment.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the fan. Owner notification began september 28, 2001. This is a supplement to a recall that began during september 2001 (see recall campaign 01v206). Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1‑800‑831‑1117.
