2008 BMW X5 Brakes Problems

“My car is stock inside my garage with a parking brake malfunction error. The parking brakes will not release even when I tried manually. I had to tow the car to the dealer to fix the problem. I called Bmw us but they told me that there are no recalls to fix this common problem which many owner are complaining about.”

“I had recall service done at seattle Bmw. Brake boost hose replaced on may 2013 they said they don't have brake booster part yet so they going to call me. Today I take my car to sk motorsport in bellingham wa. They said oil leak on brake boost pump. So I called seattle Bmw. They told me to call nwbmw. So I called them they said they don't have recall so told me to fix with my money.”

“I drove from los angeles, ca to hidden valley lake, ca over the holidays. The problem started to occur when I was within 100 miles of my destination traveling at freeway speed. Over the weeknd, my brakes became extremely hard to press. As if I have no more power assist. I did some research and seen my year/make/model was affected. However, Bmw claims that my VIN is unaffected even though I'm experiencing the same issues as listed in the under NHTSA campaign # 13v045000”

“My brake lights were out. Bmw has indicated that both sockets have melted to the point that they can't remove anything without breaking things. I did some research online and found that people have had this same thing and fires have started. Worth investigating!”

“When the vehicle is moving a relatively slow speeds, it requires an excessive amount of pressure to be placed on the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. Also, when the vehicle is stopped,, it takes an excessive amount of pressure on the brake pedal to keep it stopped while in gear for example stopped at a traffic light. It is experiencing a loss of power assist in the braking system. My vehicle was covered by a recall issued in 2013 but I never received any notice of the recall, and therefore did not get it repaired as it was working normally. …”
