Steering Column Problems of BMW X5

Steering column up/down in/out electronic failure. Steering wheel will stop adjusting and will stay in last position without being able to move - without having the steering component replaced. In the BMW forum drivers even report having to get the steering column replaced multiple times as the same parts fail.

I purchased the vehicle used, I have had it for about 5 months and have had some serious problems (steering column, window regulators, engine, and coolant leakage). I see where these issues seem to be consistent with the vehicle, but am having a hard time getting the recall work done. I can's afford to spend a lot on this car, but I feel like I may have more than I bargained for. My extended warranty is not paying for much !!! help.

I was driving and I tried to turn left and it wouldn't. I tried to turn right and it unlocked it, so I was able to turn left afterwards. It did it again, this time it locked up both left and right. It eventually unlocked and I was able to bring the car home, test drove it and it seems fine again. It comes and goes. I called the BMW dealer in vista, CA to see if there is a safety recall on it and they said that my VIN do not have a recall on steering. I checked the online postings and apparently there are a lot of this cases and some of them are drilling a part of steering column and removing a spring to correct the porblem. I had the same problem with my old BMW 525 before so I junked it.
