BMW 535i defect alert!

Many concerned and frightened drivers are repeatedly visiting the local BMW service center, complaining about fuel pump failure. This is nothing new–the manufacturer is aware of the problem and has extended the warranty on the part.  The extension of the warranty on the part is a nice gesture on the part of the manufacturer, however, it does not address the danger it can potentially put a driver in.

Drivers usually report experiencing a sudden loss of power and even stalling when the car is traveling at high rates of speed (typically above 55 MPH).

This poses a significant and serious danger to the driver and the occupants of the vehicle.

If you sense that you are having problems with your fuel pump, get to an authorized BMW dealership as soon as possible.  Make sure that you receive a repair invoice when you pick up the car which clearly outlines the problem you complained about; even if they say the problem is due to bad gas.

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP TRACK OF THESE PAPERS.  If the problem remains unresolved you will need all your documentation.

This beautiful 2009 BMW is blue…. But there may be a lemon underneath.
