Description of the problem | "engine failure" sign comes on my 2007 bmw 335xi and the engine power significantly cuts off. This has happened to me at least 3 times. The 1st and 2nd time it happened to me, i was driving on the freeway and suddenly, the sign comes on and i lost significant engine power, had to slow down and move over to the right lanes, as i had to drop my speed immediately from 70mph to 55 or lower. Then i pulled over, turned off the car and restarted the car. Sometimes that worked and my engine got full power, sometimes it doesn't and i have to drive with low engine power. The last time this happened to me, 3 days ago, i was in my subdivision and the same light came on, and i lost power. Luckily, it was only my sub, so i stopped the car and re-started the engine. For all the times this happened, i contacted bmw and i believe the did and drive update and replaced the high pressure fuel pump. |
