Car doors do not latch doors fly open , car has rolled out of park, brakes do not engage ruff stopping seat belt lights on all the time. Problems with electrical seats.

Abs is completely messed up car slides at every turn/move! if brakes are pressed a little to fast brakes block and doesn't stop the car! which caused me to crash into another car!.

Brakes suddenly became very hard to engage. It took quite a bit of force to bring the car to a complete stop. A mechanic informed me that the brake booster system had failed and that BMW had a recall for the system - 10v-466. I called BMW warranty and informed them of the reason for my call as well as the VIN. They told me that there were no outstanding recall notices for my vehicle. While no one could tell me when, the fact that there were no outstanding recall notices on this vehicle apparently indicating that the correction on the car had been made. After a lengthy debate about what this meant and why BMW said they had no more responsibility for the issue, I asked to speak to a supervisor. I got sarah (employee #7716), an escalation supervisor. Very nice but essentially told me there was nothing she could do, that BMW was not responsible for this matter and there was no one that she could escalate me to. If the correction, as spelled out in the recall notice was in fact made, it did not work. The actual language used in the recall notice under correction states as follows: �the updated brake booster vacuum supply line with fluid check valve is to be installed in all applicable vehicles to eliminate future contamination. � (the emphasis is mine) I had esc save all of the parts and they have confirmed that in fact the brake booster was contaminated with oil which caused the membrane to fail. To me, this means one of two things: 1. The updated booster vacuum supply line with fluid check was never installed in my vehicle; or 2. The BMW solution to the problem was faulty. As for the brake booster vacuum supply line, it appears that the line was replaced at 97k miles in August of 2013. So what good did that do? it failed again, (I have all of the parts) in less than 5 years. See documentation attached.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 BMW 750i. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, while reversing the vehicle automatically shifted gear to neutral. The parking warning lights illuminated. The contact turn vehicle off and try to restart vehicle, but failed to respond. The contact stated the problem recurred while attempting to drive vehicle gears shifted inadvertently to park and than to neutral. The contact restarted vehicle for a second time and was able to drive to residence. The contact called crown BMW greensboro (336) 790-9848 located at 3902 w wendover Ave, greensboro, nc 27407 and was inform it was not part of a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage 98,555. As.

The contact owns a 2006 BMW 750li. While driving at any speed, the brake pedal felt "soft" and did not fully stop the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v328000 (latches/locks/linkages). The failure mileage was 123,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Brake vacuum pump booster has failed due to contamination even after brake booster supply line was replaced in December, 4, 2010. When vehicle is in motion, the car loses power to brakes, brake pedal feels hard and vehicle takes 20-30 ft longer to brake even if pushing down with maximum force. This caused vehicle to take an infinite amount of time to stop, which resulted in car nearly running into another vehicle when issue occurred. Luckily I swerved off highway unto median. This issue can result in death or catastrophic accident as brake booster vacuum pump is affected in such a way that brake power is 50% less than normal, low to negligible brake power means car does not stop normally, it takes more time to stop, which can lead to death from rear end collisions, freak accidents and even running into persons or objects when parking.

The contact owns a 2006 BMW 750li. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph there was a power assist braking performance failure and the brakes required full force in order to come to a complete stop. The contact experience an increased stopping distance. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 10v446000 (service brakes hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 72,000.

Brake peddle appear to resist depression, and braking becomes difficult or impossible. The resistance feels like a control system resisting, and preventing the peddle from being depressed. But it could possibly be a failure of power assist, but it feels like a hard, but slightly spongy resistance, like a hydraulic system closed a valve down stream of the brakes. The issue began abruptly 5 days ago, from no indication at all of an issue, to an abrupt issue in full effect. Now it is consistant, and very repeatable. When braking to a stop from over 20 mph, the brakes work normally down to ~10mph. Then between 10 and 7 mph, the brakes feel like they are pushing back, if not strongly resisting depression. Braking is difficult and dangerous. Take caution.

Rollaway: certain model year 2005 through 2008 7 series equipped with the comfort access option and manufactured from August 23, 2004 through July 24, 2008 have an electronic key and an electronic connection between the gear shifter and the transmission (shift-by-wire) that automatically shifts the transmission to park when the driver presses the start/stop button to shutdown the engine. If the engine start/stop button is pressed 2 or 3 times within a short time interval, the system may shift the transmission to neutral rather than park. If using the electronic key (comfort access mode), there would be no protection from the ignition interlock that prevents key removal if the vehicle is not in park.

. While driving I came to a intersection I depressed the brake pedal but the brakes did not respond. I continually applied pressure to the brake pedal until the brakes responded. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing where the mechanic replaced the front brakes and rotors. The mechanic found contamination in the brake booster and notification of NHTSA campaign id number: 10v446000 (service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:vacuum) the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer changed the valves & then told me I had to pay for diagnostic cause the breaks weren't working which I did paid $149 plus tax. After the diagnostic the technician stated that the brake booster would have to be replaced. Per the recall, the brake booster could become contaminated over time due to the recalled failure. The manufacture advised me that the repairs would not be covered.

On 1-25-2010 I was going to new port beach and traveling on fwy405n. About 5 minutes before the place of accident my car started swirling about 2' left and right and I was very worried. There was no sign on the dashboard because for any kind trouble to the car there is always some thing or other cautioning driver of steps to be taken. Also because I was about 10 minutes away from my destination so I continued to drive very cautiously. In about 5 minutes timecar started swirling very violently right and left and brakes and steering control was not working as I tried my best to control the car. This happened close to fwy73 exit. Though I was continuing to 405n I was on most left lane close to diamond lane. After violent swirling right and left during that action car took a complete 180 degree turn and quietly stopped very close to and parallel/adjacent to center divider facing to on coming traffic. I was safe without any hurt. I immediately called 911 and then I called home and then I called my contact to whom I was going to see. After hwy patrol arrived I saw that both the back wheels were tilted at 60 degree angle and when car was taking 180 degree turn bumper touched the center dividing wall and came off. This was total damage to the car. No other vehicle was involved in this accident and I did not hit any other stationary object. BMW does not want to entertain this and my insurance company liberty mutual is consistently telling that I am responsible for the accident and I hit the car with a standing object. I am asking for that they should investigate it properly by reading in the car computer that what was the reason of accident and what was mileage I was traveling. Also why brakes and steering stopped working which could have helped me in preventing this accident. I am not looking for any gains but trying to see that more people may not get involved in these accidents and may not be as lucky as I was. I sincerely need your help. Please help! help! help!.
