Brakes Failed Problems of Mini Cooper

February 21, 2019 I was pulling into a parking space and the brakes temporarily failed. When I pumped them a second time they came to a stop, however by then the car and I had gone over a hedge and side swiped a tree. BMW north America could not find any warning on March 11, 2019 when they reviewed the systems, no warnings at all, no air bags deployed. I was turning in to a familiar parking lot at a slow speed.

Car started of fire as I was driving on the interstate. Fire started in the engine compartment on the passenger side. The brakes failed as I was trying to stop the car. Had to pull the e-brake to stop and by this time the car was engulfed in flames. Passenger had to crawl out the drivers side because of the flames on that side. Luck to have gotten out as the car was completely destroyed in 10 mins.

Coming up to an intersection, the car started to slow normally. Then the abs kicked in and the car did the shudder like when the abs is active. Then the abs turned off and the brakes went spongy. The car rolled into the intersection through the stop sign. This happened several more times. We brought the car to Mini of austin in texas. They couldn't find anything wrong. No codes were thrown. My wife too the car back, and drive back to salt lake city, utah. She experienced subsequent identical brake failures. We took the car into Mini of murray. They have had the car a month, and cannot duplicate the issue. Corporate Mini will not authorize any part replacement at all. They want us to take the car back. I don't feel that is a Smart or safe idea.

Brake failure - while coasting in "brake and release traffic", the brake pedal did not catch. Looking down at my foot, I watched my foot floor the brake pedal and felt no brake pedal catch. Looking up, my car continued rolling forward and hit the car in front of me. My car sustained over $2000 damage. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the other car was not damaged. A month prior, the Mini dealership had done scheduled maintenance brake work on my Mini. Because of this incident, I asked Mini if it could have been an air bubble or something else related to the brake job. Mini said no; any problem would have occurred a couple days after the job; not a month later. My car was towed to the Mini dealership where they checked the brakes. Mini said nothing was wrong. What could cause this? I'm concerned that my brakes could fail again , this time with more serious consequences, even death! please help!.
