2023 BMW X7 Complaints
On May 28, 2025, my 2023 BMW X7 underwent BMW recall B340224. Repair Order 669956 specifically states: “0077067 REPLACING INTEGRATED BRAKING SYSTEM.” After this recall repair and replacement of the Integrated Braking System, the vehicle began experiencing abnormal and potentially dangerous braking behavior that did not exist before the recall repair. The brake pedal can initially feel unusually soft or have excessive travel, followed by sudden and aggressive braking. In slow traffic and stop-and-go driving, the brakes can also feel as if they are sticking or not releasing normally, causing the vehicle to jerk when stopping or starting. The problem is significantly worse in hot weather and heavy traffic. After approximately 10 miles of highway driving, the braking behavior may temporarily improve. I have repeatedly reported that these symptoms began after BMW replaced the Integrated Braking System under recall B340224. Despite multiple service visits and substantial repairs, the safety problem remains unresolved. Most importantly, I have repeatedly asked BMW to investigate the Integrated Braking System that was replaced under the recall as the possible source of the problem. BMW has not properly investigated or addressed that component despite the clear timing between the recall repair and the onset of the braking symptoms. Most recently, the vehicle was left with the BMW dealer for approximately one week regarding this continuing safety complaint, but no repair or meaningful inspection of the Integrated Braking System was performed before I retrieved the vehicle. The vehicle and the replaced braking system remain available for inspection. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the Integrated Braking System replacement performed under recall B340224, or the recall remedy itself, may be related to this continuing braking safety defect.;
