Electronic Stability Control problem #1

Purchased the vehicle in late March. We have already had to go to the repair shop more than 3 occasions. I believe they are using faulty pieces in vehicles. We spent 13k and put down 4k. Now working 2 months the repairs are costing close to 5k in 2 months. I understand buying used vehicles as my first car was used. However I have had no issues in 2 years. I believe this piece was broken and they didn't want to repair the issues with the car based on cost.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

I was driving from work and the car just instantly shut off on the highway. The car wouldn't go into neutral. After doing some research online I saw that it's a problem where a lot of BMW owners have encountered. What if I got my kids in the car that day.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

At stop light, warning on the dashboard "drive moderately, increased steering effort required. Consult service center. " the steering was very tough to rotate and it created panic. After a couple of hours, restarted car and the steering was more manageable. Dealer came back suggesting the car needs "reprogramming" and despite under BMW platinum extended warranty 236 usd was charged . Should have been covered or an outright recall instead of charging as if it is a feature. I would request NHTSA to look into the matter and make BMW responsible for such mistakes instead of consumer paying. I could have been in an accident on the freeway for a software bug which BMW created. If this is how BMW intends to make money of service, it is a serious corruption and should be investigated. Let me know if you if you need any further information to make a case or test the car. Fault codes 4823c2 480ab8.
