Is the DSC hydrualic unit failure a common issue on the F20?

In June 2019, 5 months after the warranty has expired, the DSC failed and took the 1 Series to the local BMW agent to get the car fixed. However the DSC failed again last week (after 3 years and after 10,000km).

I suspect that, in 2019 the agent did not replace the DSC unit as promised but poorly repaired it because
  1. when I asked them to give me the broken DSC unit, I was told that the service center returned the DSC unit to BMW to check why the DSC unit failed even though the car was outside the warranty period.
  2. After arguing with the service agent we agreed on a 1,500Euro repair bill which coincidentally is approximately the price of the Repair kit - 34526891616


Symptoms:
- Car comes to a complete stop when the break paddle is barely pressed
- It took about 7-10 seconds for the car to start rolling back uphill
- No ABS and DSC warning lights are illuminated on the instrument Cluster


Car
series: 1' F20
steering wheel is on the right
Engine: N47N
variation: Europe
date of production: 10/2013

So my question is, is the DSC hydraulic unit failure a common issue on the F20? or I was just unlucky?

All input is appreciated.

Thanks
