Description of the problem	I just came back from a long family vacations, i was driving this vehicle all over the states! I was so lucky! This happen to me when i got home , my 2006 bmw 330i which had a steering column malfunction and failure. Malfunction of integral lock sensor in steering column necessitates replacement of entire steering column, it is a safety problem and should be covered by a bmw customer satisfaction campaign. But is not!!! The warning indicator in the instrument panel showed an icon of a steering wheel and a lock and the vehicle failed to start, i had to have the car towed to the dealership. I contacted bmw customer service, explained my problem and was told they couldn't do anything to cover this very common quality problem and would not be covered under a manufacturers customer satisfaction campaign. On the nhtsa website, there are many cases reported that there is a problem! And that's why! I am reporting this incident to nhtsa in hopes that bmw will do something for other owners as the repair bill was $1000 and should have been covered by bmw. All i think about is! If this problem happened to me while i was driving with all my family on my car! I think i got so lucky! Look at; service bulletins. Youll see! Service bulletin no.: sib-32-04-07 component(s): steering bmw: a new technical process has been created for bmw to identify causes of steering complaints with a wide range of models. rm ((((so! They know! About this!!!)))) make this a recall! Before! This gets lock wile some one is driving and gets hurt!!!! js
