| Description of the problem | Steering wheel lock failure. I have a 2006 bmw 325i. According to bmw it just broke. How? My vehicle is not even truly 6 years of age and doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it yet. I've found several complaints on bimmerfest. Com concerning the same problem. I feel that someone should look into this problem more thoroughly. Yes i have to pay for my own fix but i also feel that this is a major problem that's occurring in this model make and year. |
