2002bmw Z3. The abs/dsc system malfunctions at speeds above 40mph. The right front brake engages and abruptly forces the car to pull hard right. The abs lights on the display panel. No bumps or bad road conditions were experienced prior to or at the time this malfunction occurs. This is a very serious safety issue endangering not only the driver, but all vehicle drivers in proximity.
Two times we have been unable to disengage the steering wheel locked. We have had to get the car towed to dealer for service. We thought that the first time was a mistake, then it happened a second time. No matter how hard we tried, we could not get the steering wheel unlocked to drive the car, even though we had the key. The vehicle was in the parking position and we could not get the steering wheel to move. We have a automatic transmission with a key lock. We would park the car in the parking lot and when we returned, we would put the key in the ignition to start the car, but the steering wheel would not move. It was completely locked. The steering wheel would not turn either left or right. The car would be in park with everything off, and nothing would move.
