All Electronic Stability Control Esc Complaints
DRIVING AT 50MPH WITH ACTIVE CRUISE ACTIVATED. VEHICLE IN FRONT WAS SLOWING DOWN. I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES FREEZE AND LOCK UP. I HAD TO OVERPOWER THE BRAKES AND TRAVELLED A FEW HUNDRED YARDS TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. CAR TOWED TO DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE STABILITY CONTROL MODULE AND THE DAMAGED BRAKES AND SAID THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I FOLLOWED UP WITH BMW HEADQUARTERS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS AS TO HOW A VEHICLE CAN HAVE BRAKE LOCK UP AS A FAIL SAFE CONDITION OF THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. NO SATISFACTORY ANSWERS.THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE DEFECTIVE UNIT FOR ANALYSIS OF SUCH A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE MODE IS LIKELY HAPPENING TO ANOTHER BMW VEHICLES AND BMW REFUSES TO PROVIDE INFO.
