| Description of the problem | The navigation system on my 2011 bmw 335i will tell you to turn the wrong way, and then tell you to make a u-turn. I have been turning onto the entrance ramp to the highway and it will say to make a u-turn. You cannot trust where you will end up if you follow the system. It could lead you to a location that is not safe. I notified my dealer who then tested other 2011's with the same result and tested 2010's without any issues. The dealer and i have notified bmw na, yet now almost 5 months later they have not fixed the problem. When i talked to the supplier of the maps, they indicated they also had received many calls on the 2011 model. The next screen does not let me select the bmw 3 series. |
