A few days back my steering wheel started making a squeaky noise like one of the rubbers have gone bad in the steering column. My car has approximately 55k miles on it and is majorly garage kept. I researched online and there are numerous complains of the same issue. . Read more...
I have a new BMW 550i with sport package and 19" wheels. This car is trying to kill me. The car steers wherever it wants to. I have had it to the dealer since day one and they refuse to acknowledge any problem. They have changed the software and the steering column to appease me, but to no avail. This car will pull you toward the guard rail and only a frantic, panic, save my life move can keep the car from crashing. I fear for my life when I drive this car. I have never and I repeat never driven such a horrible car. Maybe when I a am killed in this car BMW will pay for my funeral. This is the biggest cover up in the history of cars. They have lack of conscience that is inconceivable that they are torturing new owners of this car who paid good if not blood money to own one and now desperately want help to fix or get rid of this car. I want out. I am talking to lawyers and maybe this is the only language BMW understands. Class action suit seems logical. I am contacting media and anyone else I can. I tried to trade this car in at several dealers. Both of these dealers sent me a letter stating that they would not take my car in trade after test driving it. They said it was defective and unsafe. They want no part of it. In all of my life I have never heard of anything like this. A new car costing 75k and they won't take it in trade with 6000 miles. Never have I heard of this. So, good luck with your piece of crap f10 550i and I hope you live through it.
