Consumer Description

2006 BMW 325I STEERING WHEEL LOCK FAILURE OCCURRED IN MAY 2007. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED MAY 2007. JULY 2010 CAR MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. AUG 2010 GOT WHEEL LOCK SYMBOL AGAIN---STEERING WHEEL LOCK FAILING AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. TOOK CAR TO DEALER. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $130.00 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT--NOT INCLUDING REPAIRS. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 325I SERIES. *TR
