Description of the problem	Incident 1 i was making a left turn after the signal and entering into the freeway at 25 mph, and during the turn, there was a slight inclination in the road like a bump and the car landed on the front right wheel and immediately the i lost steering control and had dsc (dynamic stability control) and brake warning and i was this close to getting rammed by a truck from behind and i hurt my hand during this event because i could hardly steer my car and barely pulled on to the curb of the freeway. How can a bmw be so delicate, it cant handle a bump and if it cannot, then why did i loose steering control ? Incident 2 2 weeks before this incident had a clutch bearing failure, which resulted in the clutch pedal stuck to the floor and did and retrieve, i could not change the gear and almost ran into another accident because the car came to a halt in the middle of the road.
