I purchased this BMW from lombard Toyota . As per them they have ensured nothing is wrong with the car . I was driving the car and when I apply the brakes the car tries to jump forward. My car is a all wheel drive and it caused a skid . This has caused me to have the car go out of control when it was snowing . When I investigated this , it seems to be a common problem with BMW and BMW USA doesnt want to do anything . This is a very dangerous situation and BMW doesnt want to take responsibility as per lombard Toyota .

My 2007 BMW 530i has a message in the dash with a red steering wheel saying "steering wheel lock malfunction!" "steering wheel may stay locked/unlocked and vehicle may not start". . . . . I have called the BMW manufacturing company in south carolina and they told me that there was nothing they could do about this issue stating that the vehicle was 11 yrs old and problems will accrue with that age on any vehicle. Yes that may be true but this is a safety issue because the steering wheel could lock while driving down the rd and cause an accident. I also called the local BMW dealership to see how much it would cost to resolve this issue on my own and the said that the part itself was around $600!!! then add on 4hrs of labor to that with a labor rate of $145 and he! that adds up to almost $1200. 00, how can a steering wheel lock cost so much! and us customers be forced to pay this amount because if we don't we may end up on the interstate at 70mph and the steering lockup and have major accident. Someone please help with this issue!.

The steering wheel has a lock with an electronic system that creates a "fault" notice when not working. The fault notice can come on even when the steering wheel is operable. Apparently, the fault notice can lock the steering wheel after 10 +/- notices. The lock can cause the steering wheel to freeze, and/or the car to shut down. There are literally thousands of reports online about this issue. The repair costs $850. This dangerous situation should be a manufacturer's problem and a recall should be implemented.

I got a message on the dashboard saying steering wheel lock malfunction. But the car is still running, I got scared in case some thing happened I need your advice.

Have researched numerous forums regarding car issues. "passenger restraint malfunction" alarm appears on idrive with airbag light illuminated and seat belt light illuminated on dash board. Reads that parts of the passenger restraint system have failed or are faulty. Front passenger air bag may or may not deploy, along with other passive restraint devices. Have not received any notifications from BMW regarding recall issue, but discovered recently there is a recall for my car model/year. Am awaiting a service appointment to have it evaluated, will not pay to have it repaired if dealership says it is not part of the recall. "steering wheel lock malfunction" on idrive. Light illuminated recently and continues to stay on. Can currently start and run my car, along with turn steering wheel and hear the steering wheel unlock when key is inserted into ignition. Also researched on BMW forums, known to many 3/5/6 series in my year of production having similiar issues in europe and USA. No recall from BMW on this also? will also not pay for this repair as it appears to be a defective part for the model year by BMW.

Dsc and awd lights come up intermittently. Dealer reported failure in steering angle sensor. Checked in forums to find that this is a common failure for all e60 BMW cars.

Steering angle sensor problem.

Awd and dsc malfunction error message . Awd and dsc have malfunctioned. Limited driving stability. Drive moderately. Steering angle sensor.

Steering wheel lock warning appears necessitating expensive repair. This flaw appears since 2006 and across models: the 1 series 3 series and 5 series. The condition isn't brought on by any incidents.
