Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving at 50mph with active cruise activated. Vehicle in front was slowing down. I applied brakes to slow down and all of a sudden the brakes freeze and lock up. I had to overpower the brakes and travelled a few hundred yards to find a safe place to pull over. Car towed to dealer. They replaced the stability control module and the damaged brakes and said the vehicle is safe to drive. I followed up with Bmw headquarters looking for answers as to how a vehicle can have brake lock up as a fail safe condition of the stability control system. …”
