| Description of the problem | Steering wheel column has locked and the car needed to be towed to the bmw dealership. After researching the vehicles make and model (325i 2006 bmw) i have noticed that this is an ongoing issue with the steering wheel column and ignition port. Bmw has discontinued this type of steering wheel column when building their 2007 vehicles because its an issue. Why hasn't this been recalled and why hasn't anyone taken action on the incident? |
