My BMW occasionally stalls at a low speed after a brake or in a turn. The engine is quietly off and the engine light is on. When I restart the engine, the engine light is off and it drives normal. It looks like a minor problem, but can be hazardous. At one time, my car stalled after I made a brake and started to turn. Suddenly I feel the steer wheel is locked and I lost some brake force. I almost crashed into the brick fence at the side of the road. It was really scary. I think it could be even more dangerous if it happen in certain circumstances, for example, brake before entering a highway, slow turning on a bridge. I've sent my car to the dealer and they traced no error and problems, and ask me to drive until the problem become more obvious. I wouldn't do this because with this problem the car may become a killing machine for myself and other people on the road. I do hope you can help me to contact BMW to find a solution.
