Consumer Description

MY DSC (STABILITY CONTROL) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND DRIVING BECAME ERRATIC. AFTER BMW OF THE HUDSON VALLEY FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FOUND THAT A SENSOR IN THE AXLE HAD CORRODED AND FAILED. THIS NECESSITATED REPLACING TWO REAR AXLES AT A COST OF $1700. THE MECHANIC SAID BWM WANTED THE AXLES BACK SO THAT THEY COULD REFURBISH THEM. OBVIOUSLY THIS MEANS THAT BMW HAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. MY CAR ONLY HAD 47,000 MILES ON IT.
