Description of the problem | Driving down freeway with my young daughter in te suv its completely shuts off can barely steer car off the bust highway to shoulder since everything is basically shut down. Have it towed to bmw dealer it is under bumper to bumper come tp find out its a catastrophic diesel fuel system failure where pump explodes and send metal pieces through the whole fuel system it is a 10-15k repair depending what part of country you are in. They also tell me that this happened to the vehicle one year before same catastrophic fuel system failure. There is no fix and after reading this has happened to countless people with bmw diesel vehicles! I find hard to believe bmw is not actively finding a fix for this but blaming the usa diesel fuel. Then dont sell your diesel vehicles here and preach how much better they are. I could have bought new gas x5 for same price i juts paid 4 month ago for cpo with 16k miles. |
