I had been driving my 528i (bmw 1999) this past winter when i noticed the power brakes were no longer working. I had to depress the peddle with no assist, and while the car di eventually stop, it could have been unfortunate if my wife or daughter were faced with this condition suddenly. Power brake booster apparently went bad, water leaking in and freezing, fortunately no on e injured.

I recently used the jack in my 1999 bmw 528i for the first time ever a few days ago. The jack is not compatible with the car. It is labeled for 1997 and 1998 cars - not the 1999 i own. While jacking to remove a tire the jack popped of place with force and the car fell. Luckily i had not removed the tire. I contacted bmw customer relations and they refused to provide the correct jack. Bmw policy if to not address any issue after the 4year/50,000mile warranty is expired....Even if it is a safety issue. Hopefully the nhtsa can address this safety issue with bmw usa. *tr

Common abs asc+t electronic control unit failure disabled odometer, speedometer, cruise control, automatic door locks, and alarm disabled, anti-lock brakes disabled, and stability control disabled. The car can no longer be locked to keep out intruders, the odometer is disabled and an unknown amount of mileage is being added to the vehicle(also a violation of california vehicle code cvc), the anti-lock brakes and stability control will not work and the car is out right dangerous to drive in bad weather. Bmw is aware of the abs control module problems in these cars and has done nothing to rectify the situation except offer a very expensive replacement part with no upgrades to prevent future failures. My personal vehicle has had the module fail at only 94k miles. There are many others out there with the vary same complaint. If i was the original owner i would be talking with a lawyer about californian "lemon laws". The abs system, automatic locking system, and lock system are all major safety hazards. The odometer not working i believe falls under a cvc violation possibly a federal mandate violation. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 bmw 528i. The contact was attempting to park when the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward. She was unable to brake and crashed into tree. The contact was uninjured. The police were called but a police report was not filed.

The engineer removed the black box from the vehicle and came to the conclusion that the failure was not mechanical. The vehicle was not repaired and was deemed as destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 171,900. The vin was not available.
