I am a [xxx] physician who has been driving for about 30 years. Purchased this vehicle as a cpo with VIN as identified above. It is a 2024 BMW 530i x-drive from faulkner BMW in lancaster, PA. It was delivered on July 25, 2024. I have only put approximately 200 miles on in it since delivery. On Thursday, [xxx] there was catastrophic failure of the vehicle. At around [xxx] I was driving north on [xxx] about to make a right turn onto [xxx] for work at the hospital system where I am employed. The traffic light was red and I was going about 5 miles an hour and attempted to brake the car. There was an 18 wheeler truck about 10 to 15 feet ahead of me. My car instead of braking underwent unintended acceleration. Despite my efforts to slam on the brake, the car was accelerating. None of the safety features including automatic emergency breaking were activated. Unfortunately I collided with the 18 wheeler. This was fortunate in some regards as I could have potentially struck a pedestrian or a motorcycle and have had a potentially fatal event. Please note that additionally my airbag did not deploy. The BMW dealership was contacted. They dropped off a loaner vehicle and picked up my vehicle in a flat bed for investigation. I was informed to contact BMW of north America which I did. Interestingly enough, there were no safety recalls on this vehicle on [xxx]. The car is at the BMW dealership in lancaster PA for their internal inspection. I am being informed that the engineers are looking at the vehicle to find out what transpired. Interestingly enough, I did receive a phone call from the service manager advising me on August 9 that there was a safety recall as a relates to the brakes. As I review the NHTSA site, there is now a recall on my actual vehicle's braking system. I did a review of unintended acceleration and found multiple complaints. BMW is looking into this although into this, but external agency would be ideal. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C.

I was on a toll road/freeway overpass connecting to the 91 freeway in traffic going 60 mph when suddenly my car started breaking on its own (no car directly in front of me). I tried to accelerate but was unable to. My car continued breaking and slowing, there was no where to pull over, and finally I coasted to the 91 freeway where I was able to pull over. This was extremely dangerous to lose control of one's car in speeding freeway traffic. There was no warning sound or warning light, except for the 3 red people heads that indicate your back seat passengers need to fasten their seatbelts, but I didn't have any backseat passengers. I called irvine BMW to report my concern and their response was "I checked with a BMW genius who said your car is fine since the light is no longer on.

I purchased this BMW from lombard Toyota . As per them they have ensured nothing is wrong with the car . I was driving the car and when I apply the brakes the car tries to jump forward. My car is a all wheel drive and it caused a skid . This has caused me to have the car go out of control when it was snowing . When I investigated this , it seems to be a common problem with BMW and BMW USA doesnt want to do anything . This is a very dangerous situation and BMW doesnt want to take responsibility as per lombard Toyota .

Engine oil from the brake vacuum pump may enter the brake vacuum line, possibly allowing oil to enter the brake booster. If engine oil enters the brake booster, it may damage the internal rubber membrane, causing it to develop leaks and possibly impair the brake power assistance system. The brakes will then only function with increased brake pedal pressure.

While driving on freeway 210 in the second lane next to fast lane, going 70-72 mph in heavy traffic the rear brakes locked up. Causing the rear tires to skid, in turn causing it to start a clockwise spin two times. Because I was in heavy traffic I quickly desided not to try to control the car in that lane causing a mayor car pile up, so I desided to try to make it over to the side of fwy. I missed three cars and a semi truck and ended up stopping before I hit the third car. I was still setting part way in the slow lane, so I tried to move the car. It would not move forward or back ward even though the engine was running and the car would go in gear. My wife and I came out with no injuries and no one hit us. Wow as I think about it now. I had it towed home and it still sets in my back yard. Is there a recall on this because of the brakes or the p/c that may have cause it?.

On may 20 2013, my wife was driving the vehicle with my 5 years old daughter, suddenly breaks went out and car would not stop completely. After taking the car to a mechanic, he found out the brake booster the cause of the problem. After some research the mechanic saw a recall for BMW 5 series 2004-2010 for brake booster, he proceeded to call BMW of north America and they told him my car was not part of the recall. He took the brake booster out to find out the issue was exactly what the recall description details are oil in brake booster. He changed it, gave me a bill and the old part, and showed me the oil in it. I contacted BMW north America using the number on recall no luck kept getting recorder with info every time I pressed 0 as instructed to talk to a person I would get hang up on. I found other numbers on the web and finally one of the numbers worked where I talked to a live person. After 15 minutes or so, same answer your VIN number is not part of the recall even though the make model year and the problem fit the recall description, all I received was sorry this is not an open recall for you VIN nothing we can do.

The problem that I am having started on June 18, 2012, when I heard a clicking sound coming from the drivers? side every time I turned off the ignition. The clicking sound only occurred when I turned off the ignition, and was only heard from the front of the car. On June 19, 2012, I decided to visit the BMW service department to see if they could get to the bottom of this clicking my 530xi had. At this time, no error messages were present on the idrive system. I did not have time to have a diagnostic test that day, so I decided I would return the following day to have a diagnostic test performed on it. On my way home (1. 5 mile drive), I had the following message on my idrive system ?awd, dsc, abs, and emerg ebv? this had me very worried, and I started researching if other BMW owners were having the same problem as I did. After talking to several BMW owners, they pointed out to me that they also experienced this problem in the past, and that the problem that they had involved a defective transfer case actuator motor (BMW part 27-10-7-546-671). On June 20, 2012, I again visited the BMW service center and had the diagnostic test run on my vehicle. The problem came back as a defective transfer case actuator motor.

Brakes stopped functioning as per document 10v446000 has been determined that it was the brake booster. I contacted BMW USA and was told that my vehicle does not apply to this campaign.

The abs electronic module fails. In this case it lasted a long time but when it fails, the anti-lock brake system (abs) and dynamic stability control (dsc) won't function. Based on web forums this part seems to have a high failure rate (and not just in BMW's) but if we don't report the problem here, the people who can do something about it will never know.

When I come to a complete stop, let's say a red light or stop sign, I feel the car jerks and moves about a foot forward. I been searching on-line and saw there are a lot of cases like mine but, no fix. The problem the consumers think is with soft stop because the brake pressure is being released after a stop, thus allowing the car to move forward, and puts pressure back into the braking system bring the car to a stop again. Please help. . Thx!!!!!.
