The vehicle backfires and stalls on the road due to BMWs defective pcv crankcase valve. The valve put pressure inside engine which it couldn't handle causing a blown gasket and oil leak, the leak fell on the serpentine belt and AC belt and they slipped off. Causing the power steering to lock up on me while driving. The engine has a whistling noise coming from it. I'm parking and towing to bmw. I can diagnose it without there scanner. This is crazy and very dangerous.

I was returning home from work and the engine started to sputter/vibrate. I was right next to a gas station and as I was pulling into the gas station, the engine died and would not restart. I had the car towed and then I proceeded to troubleshoot the problem. I did a fuel pressure test and found that there was no fuel pressure. I tested the fuel pump relay and found it to be operational. I accessed the primary fuel pump to check power and found the fuel pump wiring to be missing an inch of insulation on both wires and the insulation is brittle for another inch or two. There were two splices on the fuel pump wiring where recall #16V746000 was performed and a new connector was spliced in. Those two splices were melted together. Recall #16V746000 was a problem with the fuel pump connector melting due to loose wiring. I have concern that there is still an issue with the fuel system wiring overheating or the repair process is not adequate to solve the issue.

There have been two occasions that I have changed the fuel pump on my vehicle. It is extremely dangerous that it turns off suddenly. I am so afraid that this might just happen worst thing is that there are no light indicators that will tell you that there is something wrong.

I own a 2009 bmw x5 diesel. Bmw has recognized an issue with a sensor in the selective catalytic reduction (scr) active tank. The tank stores diesel fluid. Diesel fluid is added into diesel to reduce the amount of emissions that is released from the vehicle. Bmw extended the warranty for this part but it is unknown how they determine the amount of this extension. My vehicle is over the extended warranty by 4 months but under the mileage limit by 40,000 miles. This issue should be a recall call and not an extended warranty with limited time to repair the issue. I attempted to resolve this with sean s. At bmw customer relations by informing him that this is my commuter vehicle and I have to drive this car every day. I also informed him that if not resolved this will lead to a large amount of pollution released to the environment. Sean s. Acting as a representative of bmw north america stated they are only concerned about their business and their bottom line and only will assist me if I'm a loyal customer. They viewed me as not a smart business move to fix the issue and indicated they are not concern for the environment and ok for me to continue to drive this car that is putting out 10x the amount of pollution as gas. Researching the internet there are many bmw x5 owners driving their vehicle with this defective sensor and many using hacks to trick the ecu and many using alternative non oem parts and forcing a fitment. All of this is due to the limited time bmw is offering to fix this issue and the extreme cost of the repair at a bmw service center.
