“Brakes suddenly became very hard to engage. It took quite a bit of force to bring the car to a complete stop. A mechanic informed me that the brake booster system had failed and that Bmw had a recall for the system - 10v-466. I called Bmw warranty and informed them of the reason for my call as well as the VIN. They told me that there were no outstanding recall notices for my vehicle. While no one could tell me when, the fact that there were no outstanding recall notices on this vehicle apparently indicating that the correction on the car had been made. …”
NHTSA complaint #11123030, filed 2018-08, 155,000 miles“Continuation of affected parts: latches/locks/linkages and parking brake, your site states recalls for 2006 Bmw 750I, but Bmw said there is no recalls for my VIN. I have been having multiple safety issues with this vehicle. I have been having problems with the latches/locks on all four doors, they repeatedly go lock and unlock. I was driving down the street with my 3 year old grandchild and his door came open. The car also accelerates and shuts down almost like is going to stop. Parking brake light will not go off and it makes a grinding noise.”
