October 10, 2024, I was pulling out of my job-??s parking lot when I was attempting to brake before pulling out into traffic on the Main Street. My vehicle would not stop despite my having the brakes to the floor. I was almost in traffic before the brakes started to work. On October 18, 2024, I experienced the same problem when I was pulling out of a gas station and tried to stop before pulling into traffic on the main road. My vehicle would not stop despite my having my brakes pressed to the floor and me pumping the brakes multiple times. It eventually stopped after I was already out in traffic and panicking.
On December 21st 2019, the breaks on our brand new 2019 X7 BMW completely gave out while my husband and I and three minor children were traveling about 70 mph on NY interstate 87. All the lights started blinking inside the vehicle and it kept driving completely without our ability to stop it. Since that date, for over 40+ days the car has been with BMW for repair with no communication from corporate on the cause just a confirmation that the brakes indeed went out. It is unclear whether this is a one-off issue or an issue with a fleet of their cars, BMW is refusing any transparency into the issue.
