| Description of the problem | 2006 bmw 325i, approx. 2400 miles. Returning to office from lunch, slowed to approach speed bumps that align parking stall that i was going to pull into. As i was turning into the stall (approx. 5-10 mph), i started to apply the brake and the pedal was soft (normally very stiff). I depressed the brake pedal to the floor and the car did not stop. It felt like it increased in speed slightly before crashing into the wall and a 4" steel downspout. Airbag deployed and i received minor injuries. Tested brakes afterwards and they felt normal. Approx. $13,000. 00 damage. *jb |
