Power Steering Fluid Problems of BMW X6

Issues: both front thrust arm bushings worn, oil leaking from vehicle, replacement of microfilter needed, brake fluid flush service and sunroof not initialized. Comments: I took the vehicle in to be serviced as I was getting a driver stability malfunction error and when driving over potholes or any uneven street/highway, wheel would jerk extremely hard causing me to enter other lanes. Vehicle was pulling hard and I heard noise every time I drove over uneven roads. I was also getting an anti-trap malfunction for sunroof error message. Issues: vehicle sputtered, shut off in the middle of an intersection and would not start, vehicle still pulling and needed to replace the two front tires. Comments: due to the vehicle malfunctioning, sputtering and not starting, I was stalled in the middle of an intersection and could have been injured in an accident. Other motorists helped push the vehicle to the side of the road to get me out of the way of oncoming traffic. Issues: 2nd occurrence: faulty fuel pump and ekps (< one month after first repair). Vehicle needed right front tire replaced. Comments: upon driving my vehicle onto the dealership lot to have my tire replaced, as soon as the technician got in the vehicle, it stalled and would not start again. Issue: 2nd occurrence: left front thrust arm ball joint loose causing clunk in front end. Issue: 3rd occurrence: left lower control arm bent. Wheel alignment needed due to bent control arm. Comments: my husband was driving on the highway with our children in the car and the tire and steering wheel began to jerk. The steering wheel had to be turned all the way to the right for the vehicle to go straight on the highway. These issues put my family in danger and could have severely caused my family harm and/or harm to other vehicles.

Car is jumping forward when im coming to a stop at lights. Almost hit the car in front of me one time. It also shivers when turning slow or backing up and slowly acceleration. I can feel it in the steering so thought it might be a bad tire but realized upon research it could be drive train or power steering. Noticed smoke coming out of the front grill after arriving home from work a week ago. Lifted the hood and looked around. Saw fluid baked onto a nozzle but couldnt read what fluid compartment it was. . Just researched issues im having online and saw it is the power steering nozzle, which actually had a recall back the year my car was made for power steering fluid leaking onto the engine and causing fires! scary stuff considering I had smoke coming out of engine grill last week. . My car has been at BMW service dept half of the time ive owned it because I notice it not feeling or driving correct for the engine I have and when I had warranty so many issue's were ignored and made worse by the horrible tech's they have. My turbo's have been leaking for a while causing my car to not perform 100%, they never advised me and always said car drove fine. My coolant was leaking badly and after dropping my car with them, they gave it back stating it was fixed. I drove for almost 2 weeks and realized the tech never put coolant back in and the list goes on. .

Due to an issue with the power steering pump, power steering fluid is leaking all around the gear and checked my VIN and is not on the recall. It is very unlikely that a 3 to 4 year old vehicle may have the same issue as 2013 BMW X6 steering NHTSA campaign #12v267000 and not be part of this campaign. I am very concerned and would like for an investigation to be done.

Leak power steering fluid. If the flammable liquid sprays onto hot engine exhaust parts, an engine compartment fire may occur. According to NHTSA, the leaking power steering fluid is a result of a "machining error" in the steering gear surface during the production of the BMW x5 and BMW X6 "activity vehicles. ".
