MY VEHICLE HAS 64,000 MILES AND I WAS EXITING THE DRIVEWAY AND ACCELERATING UP TO 45MPH WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN I ENCOUNTERED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITH SOUNDED LIKE A BANG IN THE ENGINE. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO UNDER 30MPH AND STARTED SHAKING. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY 2 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE. I BELIEVE THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE LOOKING AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER OWNERS THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT UNDER WHERE IN TEAR AND PRESSURE WHICH IS DESIGNED FOR IT IS FAILING. SOME OF THE STORIES I'VE HEARD ARE PRETTY SCARY ALSO LIKE PEOPLE BEING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THIS HAPPENING.

MY 2014 BMW 435XI STALLS ON WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THE SAME ISSUE WAS REPORTED ON NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V189000 FOR MY VEHICLE MODEL AND YEAR. WHEN I INPUT MY VIN FOR THE RECALL, THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE ISN'T SHOWN. FOR THIS REASON, BWM WILL NOT PAY TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. MY GIRLFRIEND HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON HER 2013 BMW 328I AND BMW REPLACED HER FUEL PUMP AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. I BELIEVE THE CLEAN POINT ESTABLISHED BY BMW FOR THIS FUEL PUMP ISSUE WASN'T CORRECT OR BAD PARTS WERE STILL IN VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE CLEAN POINT. MY CAR HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST FOUR TIMES. IT'S NOT SAFE BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME HAS TO AVOID MY CAR UNTIL I REACH THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP. I USUALLY JUST TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES, RESTART AND THE CAR DRIVES NORMAL. I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DUE WITH THE FUEL LEVEL. THE CAR ONLY STALLS WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IS AT OR BELOW 1/4 TANK. CURRENTLY, I KEEP MY CAR ABOVE HALF A TANK TO AV

MY CAR HAD A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AFTER SITTING IN MY GARAGE ON DAYS WHERE THE GAS TANK IS FULL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK HAS A LEAK. THE ISSUE FROM THE DEALER IS: "FUEL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE SEPARATELY FROM THE FUEL TANK UNFORTUNATELY." THIS IS A CAR THAT WAS NOT YET 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 33,400 MILES. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. IT DOES NOT SEEM CORRECT THAT A NON-REPLACEABLE PART FAILS ON SUCH A LIGHTLY USED CAR. IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY AND EMISSIONS ISSUE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX. I HAVE REPORTED IT THE BMW NORTH AMERICA BUT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT IT TO BE A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW AND SEEM TO FEEL THE SAFETY ISSUE IS MY ISSUE TO DEAL WITH. I AM REPORTING THIS IN CASE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2014 BMW 435I CONVERTIBLE GAS TANKS.
