I don't know if the brake wasn't doing its job normally and I had to floor it to stop it. I had the BMW body repair center check the brakes and they claimed it was fine when they tested it. But obviously, they weren't fine because of the recall.
Yes, it is intermittent. When I had my car, it would stop without a problem 99% of the time, but I knew when it was not going to stop as when I starting applying brake pedal pressure it didn't feel normal and the car would glide to a stop. This problem does not happen all the time, which makes it very hard to figure out.
