At around 2000 miles on the odometer, the car began having long crank times. I took it to the dealer and they identified the problem as a high pressure fuel pump. The fuel pump was replaced under warranty.

I have a 2008 bmw 335i convertible. On two occasions, the fuel pump has malfunctioned coming off of the freeway in los angeles, resulting in complete lack of power. This has put me and my family's life in danger. I have read countless other reports of this occurring. Please make bmw issue a recall, asap before someone gets seriously injured.

1) transmission jerks forward when letting foot off brake intermittently 2) car has long starts; I believe it to be a fuel management problem 3) car has reduced power intermittently problems occurs about every two days; the transmission jerking forward and reduce power is unsafe. It can't be forecasted during everyday driving. I have in contact with bmw na and my local service center for repairs. Car has approximately 2000 miles; bmw claims no issues with the system. Fuel/transmission issue makes the car hard to predict. Bmw dealer recommended a different fueling station due to ethanol contact; since I started using their recommended gas stations, the problem has gooten worse. It should be noted the car has not technically failed yet. I've created an excel chart to track the issues, events and date/mileage/status of car conditions. I will keep in contact with the service manager of the dealer with the re-occuring issues. Vehicle type 2008 bmw 335i coupe (model was not listed in drop-down bar later in complaint).
