Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was traveling approximately 40 MPH on a city causeway. I went to apply the brakes for a red light and had none. The pedal was very stiff and had no hydraulic assist. I pushed the pedal as hard as I could and downshifted, finally stopping about 8 feet into the intersection. The car acted fine all morning up to that point. I had no warning light or anything to alert me to the failure. I have since found out that Bmw issued a recall for this very issue on the v8 engine but not for the i6 engine which I have.”
