My BMW 2014 335xi GT 63900 miles VIN:[xxx] shifted to neutral when driving in motion on highway and lose power without warning light and stuck on road and towed to the dealer and they suggest to replace the engine cost 23K, and the reports said the reason may be due to fuel pump or previous oil leak. This issue is incredibly dangerous as it can leave anyone stranded anywhere. This car is only 6 years old. No warning light showed previously. I was doing regular oil change and maintenance and fixed the oil leak. I thought it due to the recall case below: Improper plating on fuel pump may result in stall if the fuel pump fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA campaign number: 15V189000 manufacturer BMW of North America, llc components fuel system, gasoline my car is experiencing the same symptoms as indicated in NHTSA campaign number: 15V189000 (fuel system, gasoline) but vehicle is not included in that recall of BMW potential number of units affected 18,054 information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Every time I go from I93 mass to I90 hwy on the exit my car shuts off for 3sec and restarts the electronics. Not sure what defect or sensors are in the area that causes this malfunction. But this only happens when I take the same exact exit every single time.

Vehicle stalled on road way while going 50 plus miles an hour. Shutting off completely. Police were called. Could not get car to shift and move. Needed two different tow trucks to get dollies to move car. BMW replaced fuel pump. BMW says warranty on NHTSA for my year make and model does not apply to my vehicle. I am scared for my life. Felt like I was going to get killed as cars honked going 60 miles an hour around me at 830 at night on beach blvd.

Fuel supply module (fuel pump) failed in my 2014 BMW 335I xdrive. My wife was driving to work when engine completely quit. Car stopped in the left lane due to the stalled engine. She was lucky that police officer was able to stop traffic and push the car to the shoulder. Car was towed to BMW dealer. Dealer replaced fuel supply module under warranty. Representative mentioned that there's no open recalls for my car's VIN. I attached a picture of repair invoice that lists VIN and part number of the failed fuel pump.
Driving on 4 lane road at 40mph when 2104 BMW 335I xdrive vehicle experienced total failure-starting with the navigation screen then the entire dashboard went black and engine shutdown (all in few seconds). There was no shoulder (concrete curb) so vehicle came to stop in the right lane. Headlights were "stuck" on but nothing else worked including the emergency flashers! contacted BMW assist but they were unable to help but sent out police and tow truck. Car would not shift into neutral and was dragged onto a flatbed damaging the vehicle. This was extremely frightening! we could have been injured or killed as cars were bearing down on us then swerving as we could not warn them without emergency flashers. Before someone is injured/killed, this issue needs to be addressed starting with why does this vehicle not "fail-safe""--I.e., where the emergency flashers work and transmission can be shifted into neutral" thank you!!
