ROUGHLY TWO MONTHS AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF MY NEW BMW 328I, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AS A ROCK. FORTUNATELY, I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT BY COASTING OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND INTO A HOTEL PARKING LOT. MY CAR WAS TAKEN BY TOW TRUCK TO A SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT BMW, WHERE IT REMAINS TO THIS DAY. MY SERVICE ADVISOR INITIALLY INFORMED ME THAT ONLY THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A WEEK LATER, HOWEVER, I AM TOLD THAT THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT MUST ALSO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS BADLY DAMAGED. *TR
