TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY PROVIDED THE REMEDY, BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS EACH TIME THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE RECALL REPAIR REMEDY PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP BOOSTER HAS FAILED DUE TO CONTAMINATION EVEN AFTER BRAKE BOOSTER SUPPLY LINE WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER, 4, 2010. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE CAR LOSES POWER TO BRAKES, BRAKE PEDAL FEELS HARD AND VEHICLE TAKES 20-30 FT LONGER TO BRAKE EVEN IF PUSHING DOWN WITH MAXIMUM FORCE. THIS CAUSED VEHICLE TO TAKE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME TO STOP, WHICH RESULTED IN CAR NEARLY RUNNING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN ISSUE OCCURRED. LUCKILY I SWERVED OFF HIGHWAY UNTO MEDIAN. THIS ISSUE CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT AS BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP IS AFFECTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT BRAKE POWER IS 50% LESS THAN NORMAL, LOW TO NEGLIGIBLE BRAKE POWER MEANS CAR DOES NOT STOP NORMALLY, IT TAKES MORE TIME TO STOP, WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH FROM REAR END COLLISIONS, FREAK ACCIDENTS AND EVEN RUNNING INTO PERSONS OR OBJECTS WHEN PARKING.

BRAKE PEDDLE APPEAR TO RESIST DEPRESSION, AND BRAKING BECOMES DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE. THE RESISTANCE FEELS LIKE A CONTROL SYSTEM RESISTING, AND PREVENTING THE PEDDLE FROM BEING DEPRESSED. BUT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A FAILURE OF POWER ASSIST, BUT IT FEELS LIKE A HARD, BUT SLIGHTLY SPONGY RESISTANCE, LIKE A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CLOSED A VALVE DOWN STREAM OF THE BRAKES. THE ISSUE BEGAN ABRUPTLY 5 DAYS AGO, FROM NO INDICATION AT ALL OF AN ISSUE, TO AN ABRUPT ISSUE IN FULL EFFECT. NOW IT IS CONSISTANT, AND VERY REPEATABLE. WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP FROM OVER 20 MPH, THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY DOWN TO ~10MPH. THEN BETWEEN 10 AND 7 MPH, THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PUSHING BACK, IF NOT STRONGLY RESISTING DEPRESSION. BRAKING IS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. TAKE CAUTION. *TR

AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. PER THE RECALL, THE BRAKE BOOSTER COULD BECOME CONTAMINATED OVER TIME DUE TO THE RECALLED FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE ADVISED ME THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. *TR
