2017 Bmw X5 Brakes Problems

Your brake pedal requires heavy pressure to engage the brakes, even though no warning light appears on your dashboard. The dealer found air in your brake lines and bled them to fix the issue, but the problem returned. You may want to have your brake system inspected again, as this could indicate a deeper hydraulic system issue that needs professional diagnosis.

Brakes are squeaking and vehicle is shaking when attempting to use brakes. Takes an excessively long time to brake and I fear for the safety of my family when using vehicle with faulty brakes. Vehicle paperwork shows that the vehicle is overdue for new front/rear brakes, yet BMW doesn't want to replace them since they key reader isn't indicating that they need to be replaced.

MY BMW X5 2017 HIT MY GARAGE DOOR AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK MODE. I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY ITS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THE FAILED HANDBRAKE. ON THAT NIGHT, I STOPPED MY CAR ON A SLIGHTLY INCLINED DRIVEWAY. I TURNED ON THE HANDBRAKE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK MODE, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND THEN STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR. ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER, THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD AND HIT MY GARAGE DOOR. IT WAS SNOWING THAT NIGHT, BUT THE SNOW WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH. THE CAR DIDN'T SLIP BECAUSE THE FOUR WHEELS ROLLED FORWARD. I TESTED IT A FEW TIMES RIGHT AFTER THE INCIDENT AND THE CAR STILL ROLLED FORWARD WITH THE HANDBRAKE ON AND AFTER SHIFTING TO P MODE. THE TRANSMISSION AND HANDBRAKE FAILED TO WORK SEVERAL TIMES ON THAT NIGHT, BUT I CANNOT RE-GENERATE THE SAME RESULT SINCE THAT NIGHT. WHEN I SEARCHED FOR SIMILAR CASES ONLINE, I FOUND THAT A BMW X5 2012 HAD THE SAME ISSUE IN 2013. BMW DENIED THAT MY CAR HAS ANY ISSUES AFTER INSPECTING IT, IT IS THE SAME RESPONSE TO THE CASE IN 2013. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE FOR PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE TRANSMISSION AND HANDBRAKE WILL FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY. IT HAPPENED ONCE, AND IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE, AT A VERY SLOW SPEED, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE CAR HIT THE BUILDING BEHIND THE PARKING SPOT. NEXT DAY, WHILE PARKING AT A CONVENIENCE STORE, ALSO AT A VERY SLOW SPEED, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AND HIT A POST. BOTH TIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME, I THOUGHT I HAD MADE A MISTAKE, BUT AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT I REALIZED THE BRAKES FAILED. ON THE WAY HOME, I FOUND THAT I COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT WILL WHILE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED (SIMULATED PARKING SITUATION). I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY PICKED THE CAR UP FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR. BOTH PARKING INCIDENTS CAUSED BODY DAMAGE. I AM GRATEFUL THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO OTHERS OR NO DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OTHER THAN MY CAR.
