2007 BMW X5 SAV Brakes Problems

“The car looses power to brake and almost crashed. The brakes become really stiff when coming to a stop and no matter how hard you push on them it does not stop. I read online other people have crashed with the same issue. Called Bmw but they said there is no recall for my vehicle,”

“After putting parking brake on Bmw x5 2007, tried to release parking brake. System displayed parking brake malfunction. Was unable to drive the car until a Bmw assist supervisor told me that I need to manually release by pulling a cable in the trunk of a car. After searching online it seems to be a common problem with this car. I don't feel safe driving a car that has malfunction brakes.”

“The vehicle has no brakes what so ever. The pedal goes all the way to the floor. The only way to get it to stop is if you put it into neutral. I had it towed to the local dealership d patrick, and matt has told me that the recall replacement part was serviced a year and a half ago (which the vehicle has sat since october of 2014) that even though it failed it is not covered. There is a red brake light warning on the dash, they said no brake fluid came out due to the failure of the brake booster brake master cylinder and faulty lines.”

“Recurring parking brake malfunctions since summer 2012 when I purchased the vehicle. It leads to failure to engage parking brake when vehicle is put in park increasing risk of rolling and in several incidents resulting in the vehicle not being able to move when placed into drive requiring manual release of parking brake and later repair by Bmw service center with no resolution to the problem . The problem has been increasing over the past several months.”

“Electronic parking brake totally lock up the car. The car is totally lock up, can't move forward or backward. Have to be tow on the tow truck bed to the dealer. They stated it needs to update the coding on the module. This re-occur again on 7/3/2013.”
