While driving both in regular traffic and highway traffic the car has without warning gone into a limp mode shuddering allowing no power at all to the accelerator. A message pops up "drivetrain malfunction maximum drivetrain output not at available. If you get pulled over turn the vehicle off wait a couple minutes turn the ignition back on the vehicle runs like that never happened. This is extremely dangerous if the vehicle goes limp no power while on the freeway in front of a big 18 wheeler it happened to me the other vehicles do not understand your vehicle just died while going 75 MPH.
2015 BMW 328I fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel tank split at factory seam causing fuel to pour out of tank when full. This issue happened after filling tank and driving a short distance. When I came out to my car which was parked, I noticed a large puddle of gas under the driver's side of the vehicle.
While driving on the interstate or over 50 MPH the vehicle will not allow me to give it gas and a "drivetrain malfunction" comes on. The car then goes into limp mode and the engine shakes. The vehicle will not allow me to give it gas and before the "drivetrain malfunction" comes on you can feel the gas or fuel pump jerk. Then I am no longer able to give the car gas, limp bode happens, engine shakes, and the car puts itself in neutral. I have to find a way to get in the emergency lane without getting hit and turn the car off for a few minutes to reset the lights. But this has happened on more than one occasion. I have taken it to a body shop twice, still not fixed.
My car smells like gasoline and is leaking gas
While in motion on an interstate the car suddenly started to sputter and lose momentum. At the same time, a warning alerted us to a "drive train malfunction". Luckily, we were in the lane closest to the side of the road and we were able to limp off the road and out of traffic. The car was towed to the nearest bmw dealer in las vegas where the problem was determined to be a failed high pressure fuel pump. The car has less than 17,000 miles. After some research, we found that bmw has a history of fuel pump recalls although none for our model year. This incident was quite dangerous considering the car suddenly being inoperable at a high rate of speed on the interstate. Were we not in the right hand lane, the incident could have been deadly.
