While driving approximately 25 mph and applying pressure to the brake pedal it became difficult to engage the brakes and almost rear ended a stopped vehicle. The brakes where no longer functioning properly after that. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where I was told vacuum brake pump, the lock ring seal, and the brake booster needed to be replaced. After some research I found out that there was a recall for my vehicle. I contacted the local BMW dealer and was told that the recall was closed for my vehicle and I would have to pay out of pocket expense to repair. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.

In 2011 roseville BMW began work on a recall for my vehicle (recall campaign 10v- 446. ) the first step of the recall was performed but due to a ?visual inspection? it was deemed that the remaining steps were not necessary. According the recall notices they did not properly perform the recall and within 18 months the brake booster and pump began to fail, which caused the power assist braking to be inoperable. After bringing it to 2 BMW technicians and the roseville BMW dealership it has been consistently deemed that the problem is the exact same result of the recall with the same cause. In fact, no one has denied that the problem I am now experiencing is exactly the same as the recall problem. However, the dealership and BMW have been unable or unwilling to get approval to finish the recall claim since the work was already started. I have not been furnished with any of the details for denials and thus far neither the dealership nor BMW are willing to be transparent about the denial details, or initial recall work that was conducted (I was not notified of this work at the time and thought they just replaced my battery, which was the purpose of the service. ) if this is not resolved what is my next step? legal action?.

The car displayed an error message stating "parking brake malfunction". When I applied the parking brake it did not work. I took the car to the dealership for repair. I paid a total of 1300 dollars to have the parking brake replaced. I later researched this problem on line and found that this is a very common occurrence with many models of BMW's.

The 2003 BMW 745li has a recall campaign no. 10v-446: brake vacuum pump. Took car in to local dealer and dealer refused to perform recall due to vacuum pump leaking oil, and must be replaced first full of charge at $1300. 00usd. When in recall letter it states the problem to be "small amount of oil could leak from the brake vacuum pump into the vacuum hose, dealer claims there are to only replace vacuum line hose. I don't have the money to perform the service and the moment so now I must drive vehicle with faulty brakes! thanks BMW USA!.
