WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. A "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH INDICATING THAT I HAD REDUCED POWER. MY SPEED WAS QUICKLY REDUCED AND I HAD TO CRUISE TO THE RIGHT LANE. UNFORTUNATELY THE PORTION OF THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY THAT I WAS ON DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE GUARD RAIL WAS BROKEN AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE CAR BETWEEN THE OPENING BETWEEN THE BROKEN GUARD RAILS. I WAS NOT INJURED OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE GUARD RAIL. AFTER TOWING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN "EQUIPMENT UPDATE/CUSTOMER CONVIENCE UPGRADE" FOR THE CAR THAT WOULD REPLACE THE FAILED FUEL INJECTORS FREE OF CHARGE. I FEEL THAT THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING DISGUISED AS AN EQUIPMENT UPGRADE. LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS. BMW SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE INJECTORS FAIL TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. OR WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FATALITIES TO CALL THIS WHAT IT IS .. A SAFETY HAZARD!! AS I CHECKED ONLINE FORUMS, MANY BMW OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. BMW IS ALSO TELLING ME THAT THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLEY AND SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHUT DOWN/AND OR REDUCTION OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. *JS
