While driving the vehicle at freeway speed it suddenly and unexpectedly lost power causing me to have to take action to cross lanes of traffic to the shoulder. The dealer replaced the fuel rail and additional components however this did not prevent rerepeated recurrence of the issue. I am concerned that if the issue is not resolved it will lead to a dangerous and unsafe situation. This is a recurring issue even though the bmw repaired it. Car displays drivetrain malfunction message and check engine light.

I then booked an appointment at bmw encinitas on monday, 6/3 to get it fixed. They diagnosed the check engine light and quoted me that it was all part of the recall and that there would be no charge. I signed the paperwork, and my service advisor joey said that due to the service department's backlog, the car wouldn't be ready until tuesday 6/4 in the evening. They didn't give me a loaner vehicle, so I had to call my mom to pick me up. Later that afternoon, I got a call from my service advisor saying that the car wouldn't be ready until friday, 6/7. On wednesday 6/5, I received a message from my service advisor saying that my egr cooler was faulty and was replaced free of charge, but that the part that tripped the light, the egr valve, wasn't covered under the recall and that we would be charged $416.00 + tax to get it fixed. This was after they had quoted me 'no charge' to have it all fixed. Even if the part in question is not part of the recall, if bmw would have had egr coolers in stock and taken my car in sooner, the egr valve probably wouldn't have broken. We agreed to pay the charge to get my car out of the dealership, but this is ridiculous. My whole experience with the recall has been nothing but a disaster. This is by far the worst recall I've ever been a part of. On thursday, 6/6, I received a call that my car was ready. I went to the dealership to pick it up, and they charged $448.50 for the faulty valve, which was caused by the faulty cooler.

When I first heard about the recall for the egr cooler, I checked bmw's website and it said that the remedy was available. I took my car to the dealer, only to have them say parts weren't ready. I got a "drivetrain malfunction" error when I was driving to school a few months ago. After I got out of school, I was driving home when the check engine light came on. I took the car to my mechanic who diagnosed the problem as the egr cooler recall. He reset the code and sent me on my way. A few weeks later, the same thing happened again. My mechanic reset the code and sent me on my way again. I checked bmw's website again and they said parts were ready. I took my car into the dealer again, and they told me that parts weren't ready. Just today, I got another "drivetrain malfunction" error and the check engine light is staying on. I took it to my mechanic and he reset the code, but now the light is persistently on no matter how many times we reset the fault code. It has been over 6 months and bmw does not have parts ready. Every time I drive my car, I worry that it'll catch fire or something and leave me stranded along the side of the road. I almost feel like bmw should buy my car back, since it has had the same problem 3 times in a row.
