2007 BMW 335I: engine stalls while driving

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Electrical · WA

Instrument cluster is completely inoperative. Got it diagnosed from Mechanic. He read the error codes as U112B, U1101, P1408 and told me it could be associated with BMW recall number: 13V044000 Which says, certain 2007-2011 BMW 33i vehicles were recalled for defective battery cable connection at front power distribution box. Potential effect: Instrument cluster electrical failure. Loss or interruption of electrical power. Electrical communication malfunctions, starting issues or unexpected stalling. I called the BMW recall line, they said there is no open recall on my car and I could contact the federal safety agency with details to see if my vehicle can be added to recall.

The high pressure fuel pump goes out without warning. Its extremely dangerous when traveling 70 MPH down the interstate and all sudden the car stall and shuts down and you have to man handle the steering wheel. That being said an 18 wheeler had to pull a magic trick to not smash me and my 3 kids!!! I'm highly bothered by this. Iv seen reviews of the hpfp going bad why has bmw not fixed the issue yet???????😡😡😡

High pressure fuel pump - critical failure while driving in heavy traffic on the highway, the engine died without warning while in motion. Brakes and steering became incredibly heavy (presumably without power) as I pulled over with very little time to react. Car would not restart, just repeatedly turn over without trying to start. Pulled codes to discover that the high pressure fuel pump just failed completely - p142e $0018pd. Stalling in motion without any warning signs was scary. Turbo wastegates - caution turbos rattle severely while driving and performance is reduced. Extra time and space is needed when merging and overtaking. No engine codes.

While driving on the hov lane of the freeway during rush hour about 5:15 pm my car suddenly started to rattle when pushing the gas peddle. I took my foot from the gas peddle while still driving with about 60 MPH. I tried the gas peddle some seconds later again and experienced still rattling and no acceleration of the car. I took my foot again from the gas peddle. In the meantime I was down to 40mph. About 20-30 sec later from the first rattle the engine light came on and 1 sec later the engine stalled on the highway. At that time when the engine stalled I was still driving about 35 MPH. Luckily the freeway had a left shoulder and I turned over to the left with the last remaining speed and slowly stopped the car. I'm so glad that the left shoulder was available. The freeway was very busy and I assume I would have been involved in an accident, if the left shoulder wouldn't have been available. The loss of power was too sudden and entirely unexpected. The stalled engine created a very dangerous moment while driving on a freeway. The bmw shop came back to me today and explained that the high pressure fuel pump failed. A know issue with the car make, model and year.

All 6 fuel injectors were leaking and caused the car to stall on the freeway. The fuel injectors were replaced along with the spark plugs and coils. 1 year later at 100k miles, the same issue has arisen. The fuel system seems to be a constant problem with this car. It is a very dangerous problem, since the car shuts down at high speeds on the freeway. Bmw should extend the warranty on the fuel injectors as they did with the high pressure fuel pump.
