While driving, message displayed "drivetrain malfunction, drive cautiously" car lost power, but i made it to shoulder. while calling for help, i noticed thick grey smoke filling the car. i exited vehicle then noticed flames coming from under the hood on the drivers side. car completely burned
11.3.17 car caught on fire while driving. total loss. car lost power. message was displayed "drivetrain malfunction, drive cautiously" pulled to side of highway, car was engulphed in flames within 5 minutes.
Going about 60mph, my car completely loses power and shuts down. power train malfunction loss of power flash on the screen. ive had the car for 20 days, and at 52000 miles. 2000 over my warranty. bmw is auotibg ne $5,000 to fix the high pressure fuel pump and system, fuel rail sensor, and fuel rail pressure valve which all ultimately work together. but bmw has already recalled all other 2014 328 models for the exact same fuel pump problems im having except the 328d model was the only one left out????! bmw makes very few of these models to begin with, so naturally there arent going to ve as many complaints with the 328d if there are fewer produced. its common sense. looking through the complaints on safecar.gov 98% of the complaints on the car ultimately come to some sort of fuel system failure causing loss of power and total shut down. at 60 mph and 2 babies in my back seat it was more than scary. im disgusted with bmw leaving out and not recalling the 328d when they did all the others. i mean what does it take to get some answers around here on this when there are multiple upon multiple complaints?? i mean i got on my phone immediately and diagnosed the problem before sos even came on my speakers just off of the terrible reviews and complaints people are saying off the internet alone! the bmw service center also told me all of that exact year and model that they have had in there lately have been due to the same issue!! this is a cost i cannot even afford at the moment, especially for a vehicle 2000 miles out of warranty. and is basically a brand new car and to already be faulty?? i'm afraid to even drive it again once it does get fixed, being that they are replacing the parts that just failed!! with the exact same parts?!!! what to just fail again, and take the chance of next time on a busy road when it shuts down,actually having a collison with a vehicle instead?!

On october 26, 2014 at approx. 5:00 pm est, my wife had pulled our car, listed above, into our neighbor's driveway after a small trip. as soon as she parked the car, she noticed smoke coming from under the hood of the bmw. within a few minutes, the car was engulfed in flames. the fire started under the hood and completely engulfed the front end, melted the engine compartment and destroyed our car and neighbors garage siding and driveway. this was a brand new bmw purchased in august 2014. *tr
