Consumer Description

I HAVE AN AMBER COLORED STEERING WHEEL LOCK ICON ON THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE THIS WILL LOCK UP THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOLD THEM IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE HASN'T BEEN ONE. HOPEFULLY EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE FILES A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA AS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY BMW NA. *TR
