This complaint involves a 3rd catastrophic failure of the High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) covered under NHTSA Recall 21V-586 (BMW SIB B13 01 21) on a 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d. SYSTEM / COMPONENT: Bosch CP4 High-Pressure Fuel Pump & Complete Fuel Delivery System. The failing pump components are NOT available for independent inspection as the vehicle is currently at the dealership service center sitting broken down after undergoing evaluation, and previously replaced recalled components were retained and discarded by the dealership. SAFETY RISK: The HPFP fails without warning, causing immediate, complete engine stall/loss of propulsion at speed. 1. 1st Failure (~80k mi): Stopped dead in a residential lane, completely blocking traffic. 2. 2nd Failure (~100k mi): Died in the middle of a major, high-traffic intersection in Norco, CA. Created an active crash hazard with hostile traffic until local law enforcement arrived to block lanes and divert traffic. 3. 3rd Failure (Current): Died suddenly on a highway off-ramp, leaving a young driver stranded alone on the roadside. DEALER CONFIRMATION & INSPECTIONS: The defect has been repeatedly confirmed and repaired by an authorized BMW dealership service center (RO records available). The vehicle is currently sitting at the authorized dealer for this 3rd failure. No insurance or police formal mechanical inspections were conducted, though law enforcement physically responded to control traffic during the 2nd incident. This vehicle demonstrates

I purchased my vehicle around Labor Day of 2020. I still own and operate the vehicle. Since I have owned my vehicle, I have repeatedly been told my turbos are leaking oil, etc. I have even had several oil leaks repaired on my car. Fast forward six years, and I am buying 5 quarts of oil every two weeks and topping up the oil in my vehicle every week, at least 2-3 quarts per week. I also have smoke coming out of the tail pipes intermittently. The car also smells like it is burning oil, but there are no visible oil drips on the ground currently. I discovered by research there have been two lawsuits: Isley v. BMW of North America LLC, et al., Case No. [XXX] in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey ([XXX] [XXX]), and Bang v. BMW (Original [XXX]) ([XXX]). I have had repeated documented repairs and I never received a notice for these cases. I need my vehicle repaired and I need BMW to take ownership of this defect. I never received one notice regarding these lawsuits, or I would have had my vehicle repaired. I only have 102,000 miles (currently), so my vehicle should be covered in terms of mileage.

Product: Diono Monterey 2XT Highback Booster Issue type: Child restraint usability / fit concern There is a significant height usability gap between Diono’s convertible seats and the Monterey 2XT booster. My child is approximately 32”–40” tall and cannot safely use either seat, leaving no appropriate Diono option during this growth range. This presents a real-world safety and usability issue for caregivers attempting to follow manufacturer guidance. I have attempted multiple direct contacts with Diono for clarification or exchange options, but no functional escalation contacts exist. This complaint is submitted to document the usability gap and request manufacturer review and some kind of help in rectifying this clearly safety issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Due to issues in the engine design the timing chains become loose and get excessive slack. BMW has revised the design multiple times but the corrective action requires complete removal of transmission and engine to replace all timing chain components. Unfortunately my engine has suffered timing chain failure and requires replacement. This leads to engine failure while driving and unsafe conditions.

Vehicle shutoff at high rate of speed causing me to not have power steering or brakes. This was very frightening and lucky to not cause a major accident. This was due to the High Pressure Fuel Pump failing that has extended warranty but should be a recall as this is very dangerous.

Almost caused a major accident when High Pressure Fuel Pump failed unexpectedly while driving. Good thing my family was not in car when this happened. This is completely unacceptable and should be recalled on this vehicle just like many others of this model. I have included picture of metal shavings in fuel system from high pressure fuel pump failure.

Front driveshaft broke at U-joint while driving Front driveshaft was showing signs of rust prior to the incident but unknown at the time that it was a more serious, known issue with the previous model. I believe this to be the exact same problem as the 2010-2013 BMW x5 E70 chassis (recall 17V-138). I saw the BMW service bulletin (unfortunately after the incident) which would have clearly shown me that my driveshaft was about to break. My vehicle is the next generation x5, 2014 4.4L with all wheel drive. It has the direct replacement driveshaft as the E70, but with the newer part number. I was driving, luckily at low speed, when the car started to vibrate (like a tire problem), then bang! clunk, clunk, clunk. The U-joint in my front driveshaft broke, smashed the transmission, exhaust and floor board causing the vehicle to be disabled. Transmission was cracked with a hole in the side of it. Cost to repair at BMW dealer exceeds $19K. BMW was unwilling to accept responsibility for the damages after working with their corporate team. They were not interested in reviewing the data as potentially part of the recall. I believe, based on what BMW knows about the previous recall and the pictures of my driveshaft a few months before it broke, this is a problem that BMW has not fixed on later models which will become more evident as they age. I suspect a possible culprit is the A/C drain line that is almost right over top of the driveshaft and likely lets cold water constantly land on th

The timing chain malfunctioned and blew out the electronic fuel pump which cause a catastrophic failure of the vehicle. It went in to low power mode came top a stop with a "drivetrain malfunction" warning. Once the car locked in park it was inoperable. I am being quoted by BMW repair $48,000 for a new engine and a new fuel system. This is a well known issue over many years with BMW. There have been class action suits in Europe on this issue.

The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I like to report the incident with the sudden collapsing of the ECU car electronic on 01/23/2022 during night, which had raised my serious concerns regarding the car safety in general. During driving the car in the nighttime of Sunday 01/23/2022, my wife was on her way to return from Pompano, FL to her home in Plantation, FL, using the Turnpike, she experienced that ECU engine speed control had repeatedly sudden changes in engine revolutions, all indication lights at the dashboard went on and then all went off. At this moment of time, it was impossible for her, to control car speed via the accelerator pedal, since the engine speed suddenly changes from low idle to high idle, the operation of power steering and car brake system were affected as well. This unsafe situation of the car control functionality caused an unsafe situation for driving and having control over the car. It wasn’t possible for her to control engine/car speed, either the affected power steering hydraulic system and car brake system doesn’t supply the sufficient pressure to their system. In this particular moment the car was undrivable and uncontrolled, which were leading to a very dangerous situation for the driver, and it could end up in a live threating situation and accident for the driver. The service technician of BMW Holman Auto in Fort Lauderdale traced back the reason, that the ECU lost the throttle signal, due to a failure of the car battery. These is raising another question, why it doesn’t happen

The high pressure fuel pump went out causing rail pressure issues. I kept driving it, but it got progressively worse until my mechanic changed the HPFP, which I was not aware at the time had an extended warranty. BMW refuses to pay for the part because they did not do the installation.

Failure of high pressure fuel pump.

Failure of High Pressure Fuel pump. My vehicle has low mileage, and BMW has had issues with High pressure fuel pump with same engine as my vehicle. I feel this defect is extended to more vehicles than was stated BMW.
