| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 335i twin turbo bmw 3 series, while driving i started smelling a fresh gas smell in the back of my car inside and outside, really strong smell so much i have to keep my windows down and it gives me a headache and i feel like my car is going to catch on fire with any given spark and it could, the certified mechanic said my fuel pump assembly is faulty so i went online and there is a recall on the 2008 335i twin turbo but for some reason when i called bmw they said my car is not on the recall list so they wont fix it! My car has the problem, my car has apx 80,000 , eighty thousand miles oni it. Why is my car not covered when it has the problem of all the other cars? This is a very dangerous situation i have. Please help. Thank you for your time |
