Consumer Description

BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAY 2016 WITH 58000 MILES. ALMOST 2 YRS LATER AND LESS THEN 5000 MORE MILES, STEERING IS STICKY! WE BOUGHT AN EXTRA WARRANTY, SO WE TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED BMW MECHANIC. HE TOLD US THAT THE STEERING COLUMN IS BAD. AND SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THE WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT. THEY WANT $4000.00 TO REPAIR IT. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM AND BMW WON'T ISSUE A RECALL!
