I was traveling to a local store. My car suddenly jerked,radio turned off while lights on dash flickered on and off. I lost power temporarily and I began smelling wires. I also notice a 'pop' as I attempted to pull over and notice no brake operations so I had to coast to a stop with my 2 year old in the backseat. I started my flashers and turn off car to search for smell. It seems like dash but I didn't see any smoke. I get back in car and attempt to start it and nothing! I still have power so I was confused, I check trunk ultimately and remove battery cover and this is what I found! This is a safety issue and very dangerous. I got the car towed home and won't drive until it is repaired obviously. I am upset but even happier me and my kid made it home safely, something keeps telling me today was a blessing we made it.

Brakes failed today with 19 year old son driving my bmw. Thankfully, he was able to pull into a parking lot and cruise to a stop. After some research, I found that bmw says the oil supply for the vacuum pump that operates the brake booster used for power assist can be interrupted, and cause the driver to press much harder on the brake pedal to come to a stop. Bmw has recalled over 300,000 cars since 2010 with the same problem - except the 3-series. Although they did issue a recall for the same problem in the 2012-2014 3-series sedans in september 2013. Thankful he wasn't in an accident -- we do realize, however, this situation could have been much worse. Bmw should recall all vehicles (since, according to our mechanic this is a common and dangerous problem).

The brakes do not work smoothly, very often stopping is jumpy, and when starting after the car was stopped, it will jump forward, it is not possible to ease off the brake, most times it seems all or nothing. This problem is most prevalent when the outside temperature is above 80 fahrenheit, which is most of the time in dallas. The dealer has seen the vehicle 4 times about this problem, and I have been told the following reasons: a- you need to get about 500 miles on the car, b- the rotors are soft, c- the discs are soft, the rotors are hard and the discs are soft, and e- this is the way the brakes on this model operate. I find it hard to believe on a car of this price they have brakes like this. Today I returned a loaner car , a 2007 528i to the dealer and the brakes worked perfectly. If my vehicle has this problem, and I sure that other vehicles have this problem it is a major safety issue. There have been no total failures or damage, but I believe it is just a matter of time. But the dealer assured me the vehicle is free from defects and is safe to drive.
