Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIME WHEN DRIVEN (IN MOTION) AT LOW SPEED ON A CITY STREET. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 2 DAYS AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING (IN MOTION) AND TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE STEERING WHEEL REFUSED TO TURN. I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD IF ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BMW DEALER'S SERVICE NUMEROUS TIME FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BUT THE SERVICE AND BMW USA ALWAYS SAID THAT NONE OF THE OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE EVER REPORTED THIS ISSUE AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT FROM ANOTHER CUSTOMER.
