Consequence: THIS WEAR COULD LEAD TO FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION AND ENGINE STALLING. ENGINE STALLING COULD CREATE A POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy: THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A REMEDY OR AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. Okay, Houston, we have a problem. Cars that can stall because of a defect, and we don't know what to do about it yet? What's up with that? This is one of the defects widely reported but that BMW has been denying for a long time but that we've seen cases being filed over when BMW has been refusing to buy back defective vehicles. If you've got a lemon BMW, you need a Burdge attorney. Making manufacturers buy back their lemon cars, and give you back your money, is what we do. Everyday. Since 1978.
