Description of the problem	I want to voice my utmost dissatisfaction with my 535i(customer #113894) thus far based on following details. Service date: 5/22/08, mileage: 7592, vehicle experienced difficulty starting ignition. Your service department replaced "high pressure fuel pump." service date: 1/17/09, mileage: 16495, vehicle displayed message, "engine malfunction, reduced speed" then engine stalled during driving in 5 freeway. Your service department replaced "high pressure fuel pump." latest episode happened driving in 5 freeway with my two kids in back seat. Car stalled in the middle of freeway and i've had close call with semi truck coming right behind me. I thought he was going to slam right into me! Needless to this experience have given me a scare and fear for my kids' safety, which prompted me to file a complain with nhtsa. This 535i is my first bmw and it will probably be my last one. I've had acuras before this vehicle and had not had this type of life threatening vehicle malfunction.
