Problem overview

Some BMW i3 owners report experiencing brake issues, including reduced braking power and potential brake failure. Symptoms such as brake noise, a spongy pedal, and requiring high pedal force have been noted by users. Additionally, there is a recall for certain 2023-2024 models due to a malfunction in the integrated brake system, which can lead to a loss of power brake assist and affect the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), potentially resulting in loss of vehicle control. Some owners have found success in resolving ABS and DSC light warnings by using tools like Bimmercode or by resetting the system with an OBDII scanner. Given these concerns, it is crucial for BMW i3 owners to address any brake system symptoms promptly and stay informed about recall updates to ensure their vehicle's safety and functionality.
