The contact owns a 2014 BMW X1. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH and attempting to slow the vehicle, the braking system suddenly failed and the brake pedal extended to the floor. The driver was able to pull over and stop the vehicle but the braking distance was extended when depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that a hose leading to the brake booster had failed and needed to be replaced. The hose was replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 88,000.
I reviewed the safety recalls for my specific vehicle however, I don’t see anything about the brake recall. On my vehicle service history report, I don’t see any repairs made in relation to the recall. The recall notice specifically identifies 2013/14 BMW X1 SAV. I’m concerned because I have had brake problems for a year now that my service center can’t seem to figure out the cause of. I’m worried my vehicle may have been missed somehow, and the symptoms I’m experiencing are very dangerous, even if not recall related. I am more than happy to present the vehicle for inspection at your convenience.
