Its being doing this for several days now. While driving normal, a sudden throttle lift causes the car to brake by itself. Also a sudden change in direction triggers the same thing. It stays braking for a few seconds and slowly releases the brakes. Getting to stopsigns or stoplights its now a problem, the car stays braking for a while after releasing the brakes. No warning or check engine light at all of any kind. No faults in the scanner. If someone knows anything about this please help. Im willing to try fix it myself if possible.

 

did you find out what it was??

im having the same exact issue…. They want to replace the dsc/ hydro unit for $5000

 

Hi! I'm having the exact same issue, but no idea on how to solve this. Any help will be HIGHLY appreciated.

 

I am changing the DSC unit on the 28th for a used one.
I’ll let you know what it happens after that:/ used one for $1800 😭

 

Thank you for your response. Have you tried disconnecting the DSC in order to determine if that's the cause?

 

Hi! Did this replacement fix the issue?

 

Hi! After hours of browsing the web, I came to the conclusion that this may be the only thread that is about this specific issue.
Still haven't found the porblem and mi car keeps applying brakes in the situations described above.

 

Hello @mcepe and @deba89 , I just got a 2015 F55 with what seems the same issue. Any news on cause/cure?

 

well, I am having a DSC unit replaced next month, I’ll let you know if that fixes the issue :/ it cost me $2000 … not nice but I hope it’s worthy

 

Thanks for replying so quickly!
I'm taking mine to MINI of Tampa Bay tomorrow. It's been raining buckets around here, so I hope they can test under the right conditions.

 

@Jmouse hi! I finally replaced de DSC unit and everything is working fine now. I was able to buy a used one for $600 and the programming costed me $300.

 

Thanks for the input, @deba89. I'll keep you posted from my meet at MINI.
This being a serious safety issue I wonder if there is an internal bulletin addressing it.
