2016 BMW 328I Brakes Problems

“I was slowing down to approach and stop at a red light on a street (not highway) and my car wasn't braking. It then stopped. After it braked and I was sitting at the red light with my foot on the brake fully stopped and stationary for approximately 10-20 seconds my car accelerated without warning and hit the back of the car ahead of me. The impact caused a tiny scratch on the drivers bumper from my license plate. His car was old and his bumper already damaged, so he wasn't too concerned about the scratch. …”

“I was driving with an adult passenger on june 1, 2018 at approximately 3 pm on a public street, traveling straight at approx 40 MPH. Conditions were dry and sunny. I pressed the brake at a stop light and the car stopped for a brief second and then lunged forward while the brake was still depressed. I put both feet on the brake and pushed hard to the floor. The car continued forward several feet and slowed to a stop. The engine was revving while I tried to stop and my passenger stated that the rpms increased rapidly. No warning lights came on or engine warning. …”

“The vehicle was moving at 30 MPH when instepped on the breaks and it kept moving. I took it back to the dealership where I bought it they fix the break. Theo days ago I was prompted with the same problem.”

“The clip holding the emergency brake line is made out of plastic and mine broke (which I found out is common with these cars). When this happens, it rubs on the driveshaft which can wear through and sever the emergency brake line. This is a very dangerous situation and easily be avoided if BMW used a metal part vs. the current, plastic flimsy one.”

“Brake line bracket failed. It appears that the bracket is made out of plastic and is a common failure for BMWs. The failure causes the line to rattle against the lower body and eventually break. The bracket is in a place very difficult to access. BMW wants to charge 1000$ while the part cost in under 10$”
