The brakes on my 2002 325cic sometimes fail to release. They apply light, increasing pressure until you can really feel it from within the vehicle. Rolling to a stop becomes impossible, the brakes grab and even prevent me from rolling backwards on slight inclines. It's an intermittent issue -- one usually associated with warmer weather.
I'm stuck because my dealer (Dryer Reinbold in Indy) won't do anything unless they can re-create the issue. So unless it happens again while a)I'm close to their dealership, b) they're open, c) my mechanic is available, d) I don't have to stop and let them cool before getting there I'm hosed.
I did manage to get it there once while it was happening, got the mechanic in the car long enough for him to notice it -- but just for a second, as soon as he backed up and stopped they released. I understand the dealer won't fix what they can't clearly diagnose themselves -- but with winter approaching the car will be unsafe on snow or ice with the brakes as they are.
Any clues as to what could be causing them to fail to release properly? Recently I did have them replace the parking brake kit as it failed and had brake matter stuck in the brake caliper...
