general problems of the 2013 BMW 328

Driver was driving on a clear road on a straight level road went to go make a turn as he tried to break the car would not break, causing him to skid and slam into a culvert and hit a tree resulting in a concussion.

I stated on another form about my other safety issue. My son was in an accident in 2013 328i xdrive this website states this vehicle does not have an open recall or any recalls on it. I say bull crap not only did my son lose break, accessibility and crash into a tree doing 54 miles an hour. He also had the airbags deploy and burned him. Air bag dust literally ate right through his pants. I still have the severely burned up his hands we purchased this vehicle for son last year, because Bmws are known to be safe. My 16-year-old son was almost killed in his car because of Bmws negligence.

I was making a right hand turn my car started to lose breaking a ability and my car went in to a ditch and the air bags deployed the dust from the air bags practically disolved a hole in my jeans.

I was preparing to yurn road had a lip when I attempted to turn breaks locked up would not engage resulting in my accident.

A second, identical incident occured on 3/10/15.

On August 18, 2014, my 2013 BMW 328i with automatic transmission, suddenly and unintentionally accerated as I slowly pulled into a parking spot at work. It happened as I prepared to stop. ( my foot was on the brake. ) it failed to stop or slow down in response to brake pressure. Pumping the brakes was totally ineffective however it did eventually stop approx. 6ft over the curb. The car moved so quickly and so suddenly the driver pulling in behind me for an instant didnt know where I had gone. That this happened in a parking spot and not on the road at a stop light or a children crossing is a miracle. This automobile was purchased new and has approx 8000 miles.

The car has been taken back 3x in the past 3 months for the same issue the car turns off by itself when stopped. BMW dealership could not find any mechanical problems or reasons for engine shutting off. . They shut off the feature and the car continues to shut off. . . On the morning of July 3, 2014, as I was coming to a red light the brake pedals got very hard and I had to push the pedals all the way to the floor for the car to stop completely. The car is currently in the shop being checked out. I called BMW to find out what can be done, I dont feel safe in this car anymore.

While parking car accelerated - would not stop. Went through parking lot, over railroad ties and went across street - brakes would not work, air bags did not deploy. Only thing that stopped the car was the gate that it crashed into - 2 days prior to this, car shut off while at a red light - totally shut down, next day (day before accident) radio panel froze - could not change channel or anything - almost like electric system froze.

Intermittant loss of brake assist resulting in rear end collision.

While driving southbound on a two lane road, I went to apply my brakes as an intersection was ahead. When I pushed my brake pedal in, it returned no pressure and felt like my brakes were out. I pushed the brake pedal all the way to the floor, while using the e-brake as back-up and came to a stop. I did not think the vehicle would come to a stop before entering the intersection. I returned the vehicle to a safe location and notified roadside assistance for a tow the next morning. The vehicle has been at the dealership since last Monday.

Purchased the new BMW 328i 2013 in may, 2013. After roughly 3 months having the car, I was in a parking lot, pulling into a spot at a low speed. For no reasons, the brake suddenly and totally failed on me. I could not stop the car before the car run over the curb and the front end of the car collided with the concrete block. I was luck that I was not on highway or street when this brake malfunction occurred. I called BMW sos assist and requested towing the car to a local BMW service department. The BMW service advisor told me to send the car to the collision center for a regular body work, but I showed them all the brake malfunction incidents reported online for the same model and year car and insisted they contact BMW na and check the entire brake system. The car has been in BMW position now for two weeks waiting for bwm na field engineer. BMW did not provide a loaner to me.

I was moving very slowly, less than 5mph, in a line of cars waiting to pull into a parking lot. All of a sudden, brake pedal became rock hard. I could not stop the car from rolling. I had to shift into park to avoid hitting the car ahead of me. Restarted the car, brakes felt normal. This has not happened since. I informed the service department at the dealer, but they said they can't re-create the problem, therefore they cannot do anything about it. I read news reports that this is being investigated by your organization and decided to report the incident which took place on 7/15/13.

Roughly two months after taking possession of my new BMW 328i, I was driving on the freeway when my car suddenly and without warning lost all braking ability. The brake pedal was hard as a rock. Fortunately, I avoided an accident by coasting off of the freeway and into a hotel parking lot. My car was taken by tow truck to a service department at BMW, where it remains to this day. My service advisor initially informed me that only the vacuum pump needed to be replaced. A week later, however, I am told that the intake camshaft must also be replaced because it is badly damaged.

While slowly coming to a stop, the brake pedal became hard yet the car would not stop and seemed to glide for 10-15 feet before finally stopping at which point the engine revved to 6000 rpm, but did not accelerate. The pedal became so hard that I could not press any harder, yet was still slowly moving. Turned the car off and restarted the car and drove to the dealer. The dealer could not find anything wrong. On 7/15/2013 the exact same thing happened again as I was pressing the brake pedal I could feel the car continuing to move forward and the brake pedal became very hard yet still did not stop the car. As soon as the car finally stopped the engine revved to 3500 rpm, at which time I shut it off. Car is back at the dealer and Bmwna has been notified of both episodes.

I have experiences braking problems in my BMW 328i since I purchased it in August of 2012. Specifically the car will lose braking pressure at low speeds as I am coming to a stop. The problem is intermittent and my car dealer has been unable to replicate and diagnose the issue. In detail: I will be coming to a stop, perhaps 2 or 3 mph using constant brake pressure to stop the car. Occasionally there will be a loss of brake pressure and the car will keep moving forward several feet unless I apply hard pressure to the brake peddle. This occurs with some regularity and has not caused and accident. I now compensate for it, but it seems to be a very strange issue to have.
