The rear brakes cable holder is broken. This is a very common issue with this vehicle and appears to be a safety issue as the cables will hang and rub on the driveshaft. My service advisor, from BMW of Pembroke Pines, FL, Ramon Trull, also advised/ confirms the same. It's an inexpensive part, however, the cost to replace is exorbitant. If you search the web, you'll find many examples. I feel this should be covered under a recall. Please review and advise. Thank you!

I drove the car downhill very slowly. (Good weather, no rain or anything) The traffic light turned red and I tried to brake. However, the brake felt rock hard and the car was not slowing down. In the end I read-ended the car in front of me. No one was injured because I drove very slowly. But the car will probably be totaled.

I went to park my mom's car. Tapped the brakes, moved up a little, tapped the brakes again-the brakes gave out and the car lunged forward at a high speed. The only reason I stopped was because a metal fence stopped me. Earlier in the day the car switched modes by itself from Sport to Economy. This is the 2nd time this has happened in this car. The first time my mom was parking in her driveway and the brakes gave out and the car lunged into her garage. This car is not safe.

While approaching a stop light I noticed that it was much harder to stop than expected. As I let up on the brake a little I started accelerating towards the car in front of me. I reapplied the brakes much hard and was able to stop the vehicle but I could tell that I was fighting the engine. I put the car into park and the engine raced up to about 4.5k. I then just hit the off button and put my hazards on. After a few seconds, I turned the car back on and the engine behaved as expected. I drove off without incident.

On feb 20, 2020, I took my car to bmw dealership because I had a left rear signal and brake malfunction. I was given an estimate of approximately 600.00. Based upon my understanding of this issue, this is a manufacturer issue. The circuit board, connector, and wiring must be replaced. After further research, I found that there have been two recalls for this very same issue, but for older model bmw's. Please reference 13v407000 and 17v6766000. Bmw also issued a service bulletin to fix this issue. Please reference sib63-0611. Also reference 11v‑438 campaign. It is apparent that bmw's are still being produced with the ground wiring issue. If you visit bimmerfest, you will see how many bmw's from 2010- 2014 are still being effected by this issue. If older models were recalled for this issue, newer ones with the same issue should also be recalled, and fixed free of charge. I am currently driving a vehicle with a faulty left rear brake light, and left rear signal light which is a safety hazard. I am requesting that bmw pay for the repairs as this is a manufacturing problem, not operator error or wear and tear. Please reference the complaint filed on 3.3.20 11315965.

Passenger front seat fasten seatbelt signals when I'm driving and no-one is in the front seat, I have to lock seatbelt to turn it off. It hasn't signal lately. Driver's door locks and won't unlock when I'm parked unless I use the remote but, not all of the time. Breaks squeaks only when I first exit the garage at home.

The symptoms are the same as those referenced in recall #13v454000& 14v627000 the braking power is lost unexpectedly resulting in increased vehicle stopping distance or no brakes as well when the pedal goes all the way to the floor. This has occurred on both local and highway driving especially when the pavement is wet.. This condition first happened in oct of 2019 & continues today. I am an rn on the front line treating patients in the icu who have contracted the coronavirus(covid-19)and I can't afford to be accident from work due to an accident. I have had several instances where the brakes have failed. Bmw stated my car is not on the recall list and refuses to repair it under the recall. Please advise what further action I can take as this is my only means of transportation.

When applying brakes there is a significant reduction of braking power. It is much worse when the brakes are wet(rain or snow). At times the pedal goes all the to the floor leaving the car unable to stop without the use of the emergency brake. Several times I was afraid I would be unable to stop & have an accident. I am a rn on the front line treating patients in the icu who have contracted the coronavirus (covid-19) and cannot afford to be away from my job. This condition first happened in oct 2019 and continues today.
