2017 Bmw X3 Brakes Problems

The contact owns a 2017 BMW X3. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V608000 (Engine and Engine Cooling, Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated while depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The contact used the parking brake to assist while stopping the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the brake pads needed to be replaced. The contact stated that after the vehicle was repaired, the chassis failure and traction control failure warning lights light illuminated. The vehicle was returned to the mechanic and was diagnosed with brake failure. The contact was unsure of the parts that needed to be replaced to repair the vehicle. The dealer was not contacted about the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 133,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

While driving on the freeway my brakes failed. I had pushed the pedal all the way down and the vehicle was still moving. This caused a rear end collision. There were no warnings that appeared.

TWICE ON RAINY DAYS, WHEN STOPPING ON A HILL AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HOLD. LUCKILY THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I DID NOT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I BROUGHT IT IN WITH ONCE,BUT NOTHING WAS "WRONG". I AM GOING TO TRY AGAIN THIS WEEK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE RAIN.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 40-50 MINUTES. TAKE EXIT, CRUISE TO OFF RAMP LIGHT, THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE CAR IN MOTION INITIALLY RESPONDS AND 3/4 OF THE WAY TO THE LIGHT (ALMOST AT INTERSECTION BRAKES FAIL, NO BRAKES AND THE CAR MAKES A CLICKING NOISE' SIMILAR TO WHEN A BATTERY IS ALMOST DEAD, BUT THE CAR IS ON, ELECTRICAL AND EVERYTHING SEEMS OK EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKES. THE RAMP IS AT AN INCLINE (UPHILL A LITTLE) SO THE CAR STOPS. THE CAR IS PARTIALLY IN THE INTERSECTION. THANKFULLY NO CAR IN FRONT OR CARS CROSSING THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND WE CONTINUE ANOTHER MILE TO OUR FINAL DESTINATION WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS.

CAUSING THE CAR TO JUMP FORWARD. BY PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE ON A GRADE, WHEN I HAD COMPLETED, I NOTICED THE THE RPM GAGE WAS AT 4000 RPM WITH BRAKE ON. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. THREE TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED AS I SLOWED DOWN AND IT LURCHED FORWARD STRIKING OBSTICALLS. WHEN BRAKING IT POSSIBLE TO ENGAGE THE GAS PEDAL

DURING MY NORMAL CITY DRIVING ROUTE THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING AN AWFUL SCREECHING NOISE. I PULLED OVER WITHIN 1 CITY BLOCK OF HEARING THE NOISE AND MY REAR DISC BRAKE ROTOR HAD A LARGE GROOVE WORN INTO IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A ROCK THAT GOT STUCK BETWEEN THE PAD AND THE ROTOR AND THEY WOULD REPAIR THE CAR FOR FREE, WHICH INCLUDED ORDERING PARTS. I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & THE CLERK THAT ANSWERED THE PHONE SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS OFTEN, SO THEY JUST REPAIR IT FOR FREE. I ASKED IF IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN, THEY ASSURED ME IT WASN'T BUT IT MAKES ME QUESTION HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS AND WHAT IS THE ACCIDENT RATE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. I'VE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE GET A ROCK LODGED BETWEEN THE ROTOR AND PAD. THE SPECS FOR THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO ARE TYPICALLY MICROMETERS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW LESS THAN ONE WEEK AGO.
