SERVICE BRAKES
BOUGHT A NEW BMW XI 328 ON APRIL 30. ON JUNE 16, WITH 1700 MILES ON CAR BRAKES FAILED. WHILE SLOWING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE BRAKES SEEMED TO ENGAGE BUT FAILED TO STOP THE CAR--LIKE THEY WERE WORKING BUT DIDN'T. CAR WENT THROUGH A LIGHT AND I QUICKLY HIT PARK TO STOP IT IN THE INTERSECTION. ONCE NO CARS WERE AROUND I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND TESTED THEM. THEY STOPPED ON A FEW TESTS SO THOUGHT IT WAS ME. AND AS I DROVE, SLOWLY, THE BRAKES STOPPED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, AND THEN THEY FAILED AGAIN AND I AVERTED HITTING ANOTHER CAR BY PRESSING PARK BUTTON AGAIN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO BMW AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND OTHER BRAKE ISSUES. NO WARNING LIGHT WENT ON THE DASH TO ALERT ME. THEY SAID THERE WAS A SERVICE ALERT ON THIS ISSUE BY BMW. BMW SAID PARTS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND TWO DAYS LATER OFFERED TO EXCHANGE THE VEHICLE FOR A NEW ONE. BRAKES SEEMED "SPONGY" FROM THE START BUT HAD ALWAYS WORKED UNTIL THEY DIDN'T. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT. I TOOK THEM UP ON THEIR OFFER AND NEW (EXCHANGED) CAR BRAKES FEEL OK. I DIDN'T REPORT BECAUSE NHTSA REP TOLD ME NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE BMW WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING. BUT READ IN LA TIMES THAT THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE AND WANTED TO GO ON RECORD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. BMW DID THE RIGHT THING BUT WORRY THAT THIS ISSUE COULD CROP UP WITH OTHERS, AND EVEN IN MY NEW CAR. *TR
