Driving down the street when all of a sudden car says drive train malfunction i was stopped at the light on a one way street on 11/20/2020 when the car just died no warning just shut off wouldn't start couldn't put it in neutral blocked traffic for about 90 minutes before i could get a tow truck to remove my car. I have a 2012 bmw 528xi with about 90k + miles on it i was so scared because it could have happens to me on the highway or in the middle of the street and i would no have been able to get out of harms way.

Suddenly the car headlight, taillight and brake light on the passenger side stopped working in middle of night. Only the right indicator works now. Its a big safety issue. I could have had a major accident if it had happened on a busy highway. I think bmw had this issue with some of 3 series models.

When turning my car on and while driving on the highway, my car displayed a drivetrain malfunction error. I took the car to my local bmw dealer on august 3, 2020 for service and they diagnosed the car with a computer error. They made a repair to the computer and told me it was fixed. This cost $350. On august 7, i drove from maryland to south carolina and received the same drivetrain error message and the oil service light warning came on. We had to add a quart of oil and drive slowly per the drivetrain error message. As soon as i returned to maryland, i took the car back to bmw of annapolis. They told me that the front end of the engine was gone and that they would need to rebuild the motor including new timing chains, chain tensioner, chain guides, and exhaust vanos unit (a $6000 repair). The car only had 72,000 miles and i had never missed a service appointment. Bmw north america offered to pay half of $6000 after being contacted by bmw of annapolis. However, i thought that bmw north america should have paid the entire amount because this is a known problem with the 2012 bmw 528i and i could have had a major accident. In addition, this car has had 2 prior major recalls. I sent bmw north america a formal complaint, but they still only paid $3000.

My 2012 528xi has 117k miles on it. While i was on a long road trip, driving on i-95 at 1am on a friday night, without any weird engine noises or anything out of the norm, the car displayed a warning message that said "drivetrain malfunction" immediately followed by warning "engine oil pressure low" warning. Within a few seconds, the engine shut off and the car told me to pull over safely. Luckily, there was a nice big shoulder and there was no traffic around, so i was able to safely coast to a stop. Had the car towed 100 miles to an independent mechanic, and he said there was no oil pressure, so there was too much friction due to lack of lubrication, which seized the camshaft and caused jumped timing. I've had a lot of "very unusual" (mechanic's words) issues with this car, of course all out of warranty. And now the engine is completely fried. I can spend another $11k to put a brand new engine in there, but the car itself isn't worth $11k anymore. Lots of other people have the same issue. Hasn't been reported to nhtsa but can find it on bmw enthusiast forums (like bimmerfest dot com).
