Fuel/propulsion System

In July 2023, on the interstate in Des Moines during rush hour traffic, the car suddenly lurched once and abruptly stalled. We were in the passing lane with no chance to cross 3 lanes of traffic, so I coasted onto the left shoulder. We were towed to the BMW dealership where we were eventually informed of a “catastrophic” failure of the fuel system requiring complete replacement. This was not an ordinary fuel pump failure. There were no warning messages prior to the stall and when it did stall we were not warned to pull over safely in “limp mode”. Had we been in either of the center two lanes when it happened, we could have created a multi-car accident— which easily could have resulted in injuries or deaths.

BOSCH CP4 HPFP failed and released metal shavings throughout all fuel lines, injectors and gas tank. BMW had a recall for 12K vehicles but mine was not on the recall list and BMW cannot explain why given that my fuel pump exploded like so many other BOSCH CP4 pumps. I am not in at least 7K in repairs to replace all the fuel lines, pumps and injectors that the faulty part ruined. I believe BMW knew that these pumps were bad and did not notify all owners that had them in the car. My year, make, model and build date all fit into the recall notice but i was not included. BMW cannot explain why and will not agree to pay for the repair bills.

My car has a coolant leak coming from the plastic pipe underneath the manifold. The BMW dealership said this is a common issue with the bmw. You should definitely do a recall on this issue. It costs $1585 to fox a $30 defective part on these cars.
