Now i am experiencing however another cp4 failure with the dealership refusing to cover the repair saying the recall was completed . Given that the vehicle already received bmw corrective action for this known issue and the same component has now failed again, CP4 failures are a well known document concern with the diesel bmw community and this failure creates potential safety risk(stalling) I believe it is reasonable to expect bmw to participate in covering this repair

Luckily, CHP pushed our vehicle to the shoulder after waiting fearfully for 20 minutes. I had a diagnostic report completed of my vehicle and it identified that the engine failure was due to the high pre
Car stalled at 119,000 miles giving no service codes or indications of need for service. Car stalled again at 122,000 miles and would not restart. BMW specialist found high pressure fuel pump failure and contamination of all surrounding fuel system components. Research into this issue shows a systemic failure of the high pressure fuel pumps on these vehicles but this particular VIN number is not supported in the existing recall. The repair cost of the components is greater than the value of the vehicle, with no defect coverage from BMW.
