| Description of the problem | have a 2009, bmw with 45,000 miles and my axel(both) are in need of replacing due to rust. When i took my vehicle in for repairs i was told by my service advisor that this problem is occurring a lot in 2009 & 2010 vehicles. Maryland is not a flood zone state and the vehicle is too young with low mileage to have this problem. This clearly a factory problem! It no way a vehicle with 45,000 miles is in need of an axel replacing due to "rust". |
