general problems of the 2005 BMW 325

On three different occasions the brakes were used to slow down and/or stop and afterwards they continued to be engaged while stepping on the accelerator. One time the brakes were smoking. After turning the vehicle off and restarting the vehicle the problem went away. Took the vehicle to a BMW dealership who said that they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle or the brakes. After the last time, I could feel the heat on the front left wheel where as all the other wheels were not as hot.

Vehicle has feature called soft stop which tries to smooth out the braking and keeps the vehicle from jerking at the while braking to a full stop. Dealer in honolulu said that it took pressure off the rear brakes. When the vehicle was coming to a stop it would stop once then travel a foot farther then stopping again. Consumer stated that it was the soft stop feature that caused this malfunction. The consumer was traveling in vehicle yesterday when a vehicle in front of him stopped quickly and he was forced to stop quickly, when consumer's vehicle stopped it went another foot forward and stopped again just inches from the other vehicle in front of him. Consumer has contacted manufacturer, and they have not helped him with problem. BMW 325i, e90 2006. Vehicle has less than 300 miles.
