Anyone had issues with the high pressure fuel pump? I experienced a complete fuel pump failure while driving 50 mph, thankfully not much traffic around and was able to get car to side of road for tow (three hours later courtesy of VW)! Found a great report on ABC new dot com about a recall BMW had in October 2010 for this very issue. Potentially a safety issue depending on when and where the failure occurs.

Oh yeah..... am first owner, driven car less than one year and this is the second complete failure I've experienced. First one, back in February, the turbo failed and had to be completely replaced. So twice stranded at side of road for 2-3 hours waiting for tow. Vehicle is still at dealership.....so far car has been in for repairs 3 full weeks before it's first year! Yay for me....:banghead:
