Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)My car (a 2014 BMW M5 with only approx. 39K miles) has a known issue with defective fuel injectors (manufactured by Bosch, subsequently replaced by an upgraded part). In fact, in 2018 BMW issued me and other owners with an extended warranty for the fuel injectors for 10 years/120,000 miles (see attached copy). However, in my opinion and based on a 9/7/2022 failure incident I experienced the defective fuel injectors should have resulted in a safety recall. Previously, my car experienced a check engine light in August 2022. The dealership suspected one or more leaking fuel injectors and noted as such on my repair invoice, but I was told due to the testing protocol which BMW requires they could not replace any of the fuel injectors. BMW's testing protocol also resulted in me incurring a large bill of almost $1,100 due to the diagnosis labor involved. On 9/7/2022 while I was driving on the highway at approximately 70 miles an hour, 2 fuel injectors failed (out of 8 injectors, confirmed by subsequent repair) which resulted in a sudden and complete loss of engine power while maneuvering in traffic. I am extremely lucky the sudden loss of engine power did not result in an accident, and I was able to take a highway exit using the vehicle's momentum. Upon exiting the highway, my car's engine completely died and would not re-start. This resulted in my car obstructing the road where it almost caused several accidents and necessitated a 911 call by me to obtain police assistance to get my vehicle out of the way. After this frightening experience and due to the high failure rate I already experienced with 2 out of 8 injectors, I contacted BMW customer service and attempted to get the remaining 6 injectors replaced. BMW refuses to replace the remaining injectors and stated they would only replace a specific injector after failure. I urge the NHTSA to require BMW to perform a safety related recall for this known fuel injector issue.
