Two problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 2003 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2012

I was driving the vehicle in stop and go traffic, the vehicle lost all power forcing me to come to complete stop in the middle of the highway. This occurred 3 other times in the past 4 months , the other incidents were in the parking lot. The car starts up and runs perfectly before and after. I am concerned about my safety. Searching for a solution, I found that BMW has service bulletin to address this issue. I am surprised that there is no recall on this since it is a huge safety concern.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2012

Recallcampaign no. 15v-318 : driver side front air bag module for my BMW X5 I received notice that they will change driver side front air bag module in July 2015 but after till date no intimation has been received when they will replace it. Also want to point to notice that my car met with an headon accident with tree in 2012 (I think) but that time no airbags got opened despite such strong head on collision with big tree. I am concerned about my car and my safety while I drive this car.
