Emergency brake button broke with a single finger pull. Very poor quality plastic trim. Emergency brake system cannot used unless replace.
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.
Brake malfunction.
