Power Steering Light On Problems of BMW 328

Wheel steering lock light comes on. BMW is completely aware of this flaw in their cars, but since NHTSA has not stepped in to force them to fix this issue as a recall they keep charging people for the repair under a TSB.

I was driving my car one day, I made a quick stop, turned my vehicle off and went back to my car to start it and nothing. Only to find the steering lock light. My vehicle would not start no other indication of power beside interior light. I think this presents an unsafe condition, that would leave people stranded some where (thank god it wasn't my wife and 4 kids stranded with the car). Needless to say I had to get it towed to a BMW service. I am really shocked that their is not already a recall for this, with the high amount of cases I have read about on forums. I pray something can be done about this.

Battery died. Got a charge and red steering light with a lock turned on. Locked steering and unable to start car after charging.

Battery seemed to have drained. . . When given a jump and power was restored, the car had a the steering locked light up red. The car turned on for a few times and now it doesn't turn on at all. There seems to be power in the car as everything lights up but when attempting to start nothing happens and the only light on the dashboard is the one of the steering locked in red!!!! this has to be a defect!!!.

I was left stranded in a parking lot with the steering wheel lock light showing. I was not able to start the car at all and I was upset because I could not move the car and had to be towed to the closest place which was an extreme burden on me financially.

Red steering wheel lock warning light came on one day. I never had an issue with my car starting even with the warning light on. I had my car checked out and it was recommended to replace the whole steering wheel column. Not because it was bad, but because the sensor was bad and the only way to fix it was replacing the whole steering column. Total cost was over $700. My car was 3 months and 5,000 miles out of warranty. After researching on the internet I found that the steering column warning light sensor is a very common problem. Hopefully enough people complain and BMW recalls this part that is obviously defective.
