| About 3 months ago i bought a 2007 bmw 550i with 29,802 miles. when a large red steering lock light appeared on the dash, as well as, the center console computer had instructions not to turn the engine off. the car operated normally just with an uncomfortable big red light on my dash. before calling the bmw dealer i decided to do some research on the internet. i have found dozens of bmw forums referencing steering wheel lock malfunctions. most were ranging from updating computers to steering column replacements. i took the car to the bmw dealer as he gave me a loaner and took my car for the night. the following day he called me in and told me i needed to fix this problem that would cost me $700 or the steering might lock up on me during driving. with this many similar complaints it sounds like there might be a recall on the bmw steering lock? | |||
