Brakes Failed problems of the 2006 BMW 325

Brakes failed today with 19 year old son driving my BMW. Thankfully, he was able to pull into a parking lot and cruise to a stop. After some research, I found that BMW says the oil supply for the vacuum pump that operates the brake booster used for power assist can be interrupted, and cause the driver to press much harder on the brake pedal to come to a stop. BMW has recalled over 300,000 cars since 2010 with the same problem - except the 3-series. Although they did issue a recall for the same problem in the 2012-2014 3-series sedans in September 2013. Thankful he wasn't in an accident -- we do realize, however, this situation could have been much worse. BMW should recall all vehicles (since, according to our mechanic this is a common and dangerous problem).

The contact owns a 2006 BMW 325i. The contact stated that the brakes failed. As a result, the vehicle traveled onto a curb. The contact stated that there was no warning prior to or after the failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The failure and the current mileages were 70,000.

Vehicles brakes fail upon initial startup once gear selector is put in drive.
