2001 BMW 330CI Suspensionfrontcontrol Armlower Arm Problems

AFTER ONLY 39,000 MILES OF VERY GENTLE DRIVING, THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ARE SCRAP ON MY 2001 BMW 330CI. SYMPTOM SHOW UP AS A JERK ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE QUICKLY APPLIED. FRONT WHEELS CAN ALSO BE OBSERVED FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE BY AN ONLOOKER MOVING WITHIN THE WHEEL WELL WHEN VEHICLE GETS ROLLING AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND THEN RELEASED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WELL KNOWN HIGH WEAR AREA. INTEND TO CLAIM FROM BMW EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY PERIOD. *NM

RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM CAME LOOSE ON MY 2001 BMW 330CI. HAD COMPLAINED FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS TO DEALER (VOB BMW - ROCKVILLE, MD) CONCERNING ABNORMAL JERK OF CAR WHEN COMING TO STOP. DEALER INSISTED THAT CAR WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. FINALLY TOOK CAR TO INDEPENDENT BMW GARAGE (BMW EXCLUSERVICE - ROCKVILLE, MD), AND INFORMED THAT RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS LOOSE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS POSSIBILITY RIGHT FRONT TIRE COULD COME OFF. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED CONTROL ARMS WITH REDESIGNED 2004 MODEL YEAR CONTROL ARM. BMW REFUSED FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM, WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM PROPERLY DIAGNOSED. I WOULD IMAGINE THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO OTHER CARS IF THEY HAD TO REDESIGN THE CONTROL ARMS. I WOULD THINK THERE...
