2014 BMW 428I Problems

Car jyst shut down in the middle of the street without any dashbord lights, strange noises or symptoms. Won't turn over. After tow to BMW dealer they said oil pump broke. I took it to volvo dealer they said oil starvation. They changed design of oil pump drive but don't inform anybody to do it which is very unacceptable. And they should do recall on that. That was very dangerous situation. This oil pump very slowly desteoys without any symptoms. It's really ticking time bomb becouse they now it quietly change design.Thank you.

I have tried reaching BMW USA 3-4 times since November 2024 until now. The representative said BMW is working on correcting the problem. I have CC the email that was sent this June 2025 with no replies. 1 year has passed since the recall was issued and BMW USA has not created a remedy/fix for the coolant problem. I had this car on the TURO car rental platform as I am a host on TURO. I can't list this car to rent out because of the recall. Turo will not allow owners of recalled cars to list their cars because the car could be "potentially unsafe." Yet, the "owner" is driving these "unsafe"' cars on the road. I did my part. I already sent another recent email to get a solution. What would be my next step? (Almost one year now....) Also, I am sending this email Pacific time at 5:07 WED., July 30th. On the document: the Update IS on THURSDAY JULY 31st. WHAT???!!!!! Make it make sense . Frustrated OWNER

I WAS AT A STOP WAITING TO ENTER FREEWAY, HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL AND MY 428I STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. I WAS VERY SCARED SINCE IT WOULD NOT STOP AND NEARLY RAMMED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I STARTED HONKING SO VEHICLE IN FRONT WOULD MOVE FORWARD. I PUT EMERGENCY BREAK (HAND BREAK) AND CAR ON PARK. SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. I'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN AT A STOP AND NOT ON FREEWAY AT TIME THIS HAPPENED. I DID CONTACT SOS AND VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASE WAS MADE. NO UPDATE YET; SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS WAITING ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM BMW. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN; MANUFACTURER DEFECT WHICH PUTS MANY DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS AT RISK OF AN AUTO COLLISION, INJURY, AND DEATH. *TR
