Vehicle has stalled while in operation (at speed) 5 times since owning. All were very dangerous situations for my wife and surrounding drivers. All issues were apparently "fuel system" related. I purchased this vehicle on May 11, 2018 (POC) from Fields BMW South Orlando, FL. The car was most recently brought in for repair for a continued issue on May 3, 2021. Vehicle has never been in a wreck and has roughly 73K miles. -€¢5/31/2018 -€" Issue with fuel system. Car started shaking and would not start. 2 weeks after purchase. -€¢6/05/2018 -€" Issue with fuel system. Vehicle stalls while in operation. -€¢8/21/2018 -€" Vehicle is losing acceleration while driving. Drive train malfunction light comes on. -€¢3/5/2019 -€" Check engine light on. Faulty tank ventilation pressure switch. -€¢6/23/2020 -€" Car stalls while driving (35 mph+) and strands me in the middle of an intersection. Car will not switch out of park. Police had to come to move the vehicle. Very dangerous situation. Wife is driving, 3 months pregnant at this time. -€¢8/15/2020 -€" Car stalls while driving. Again, driving around 30+ mph. Wife had to quickly pull the car to the median. Dangerous situation. Car will not switch out of park. Wife is driving, 5 months pregnant. -€¢5/3/2021 -€" Car stalls while driving. Luckily able to coast into a gas station under no power. Car will not switch out of park. Wife stranded with no AC with 3-month-old baby and 9 yr. old daughter. - 5/17/2021 - Transfer Case Needs Replacement Besides the fuel system issues, I believe there is a dangerous feature with this vehicle in that it cannot be switched out of park when it loses power. Being stuck in the middle of an intersection and unable to move a car into neutral (even with police officer) is extremely dangerous. Vehicle was inspected by a BMW TSE for transfer case issue. They say it needs to be replaced. This vehicle is a danger and should not be on the road.
