general problems of the 2008 BMW X5

I drove from los angeles, CA to hidden valley lake, CA over the holidays. The problem started to occur when I was within 100 miles of my destination traveling at freeway speed. Over the weeknd, my brakes became extremely hard to press. As if I have no more power assist. I did some research and seen my year/make/model was affected. However, BMW claims that my VIN is "unaffected " even though I'm experiencing the same issues as listed in the under NHTSA campaign # 13v045000.

My dashboard light flick engine , abs,parking break will shut off vehicle less than 10min driving with caution.

When the vehicle is moving a relatively slow speeds, it requires an excessive amount of pressure to be placed on the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. Also, when the vehicle is stopped,, it takes an excessive amount of pressure on the brake pedal to keep it stopped while in gear for example stopped at a traffic light. It is experiencing a loss of power assist in the braking system. My vehicle was covered by a recall issued in 2013 but I never received any notice of the recall, and therefore did not get it repaired as it was working normally. In mid-December 2015 the problem began and I took it to the repair shop who diagnosed the problem. However, BMW says that since it has been more than 2 years since the recall, they will not repair the problem at no charge. The brake issue was noted to be a safety issue which could result in a traffic crash due to loss of power assist in braking. Since I never received any notice of the safety recall, I believe BMW should pay for the necessary repairs to my vehicle to return it to safe operation.

Started the car and got "parking brake malfunction" message. The parking brake could not be disengaged and car couldn't move. Followed instruction to release the parking brake so the car can be moved. The car is movable after that, but the parking brake no longer worked.

The contact owns a 2008 BMW X5. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle decelerated independently and engaged into limp mode. The vehicle then stalled as the parking brake and engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted and was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the braking system failed and there was an xdrive malfunction. There was a recall under NHTSA campaign id number 10v518000(fuel system, gasoline ) that could have been related to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 19,150.

My car is stock inside my garage with a parking brake malfunction error. The parking brakes will not release even when I tried manually. I had to tow the car to the dealer to fix the problem. I called BMW us but they told me that there are no recalls to fix this common problem which many owner are complaining about.

I had recall service done at seattle BMW. Brake boost hose replaced on may 2013 they said they don't have brake booster part yet so they going to call me. Today I take my car to sk motorsport in bellingham wa. They said oil leak on brake boost pump. So I called seattle BMW. They told me to call nwbmw. So I called them they said they don't have recall so told me to fix with my money.
