The contact owns a 1999 BMW 328I. While driving approximately 60 mph, the contact engaged the brakes but noticed that the brakes would not engage until excessive force was applied to the brakes. The failure recurred whenever the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was told that the brake booster clip was defective. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was told that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number: 99V100000 (service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages). The failure mileage was 105,000 and the current mileage was 107,500. Updated 05/12/11 updated 05/31/11

While backing out of the garage, when I hit the brakes to stop the car, the car did not stop. In order to avoid hitting the car behind me, I put the car in drive and again hit the brakes. The car did not stop and only stopped when I hit the garage wall, causing over $3000 damage to the car.
