Consumer Description

FROM 40MPH TO 60MPH THE STEERING WHEEL GETS A SHAKING, WOBBLE THAT DOESN'T STOP ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 TO 2014 BMWS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. ON MANY BMW FORMS THERE ARE MULTIPLE OWNERS WHO SAY THEY HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING RACK, STEERING ASSEMBLY AND IT WILL FIX IT FOR THE TIME BEING BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY DEFAULT AGAIN. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL YOU'LL HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE THAT SOUNDS AS IF THE FRONT AXLE IS GOING TO REMOVE ITS SELF FROM YOUR PRESENCE. TO HAVE THIS FACTORY PROBLEM FIXED IS UPWARDS OF 2,000$, THAT OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BECAUSE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH ALMOST EVERY BMW. ALSO BMW HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR OR HEATER MOTOR. IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE MODEL BMWS THAT BMW REFUSES TO RECALL. THE HEATER WILL NOT WORK AT ALL OR ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE WILL BLOW SLIGHTLY WARM AIR BECAUSE OF BMWS FAULTY BLOWER MOTOR. ALSO THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WILL POWER OFF OR STOP WORKING IN GENERAL. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT ISSUES THE VEHICLE IS HAVING. BMW HAS TO HAVE SOME ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THESE ISSUES BASED OFF ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES, BUT HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO INSURE THE SAFTEY OF THE PEOPLE OPERATING THERE VEHICLES WITH THESE FACTORY DEFAULTS. MOST OF THE ISSUES THAT HAVE OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE WERE HAPPENING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
