The steering wheel resists turning back to the left after a right turn. The problem is getting worse. It is my daily driver and every week the resistance is harder to overcome. It is getting very concerning about the safety aspects of this problem.

Ignition selaniod isn't working. When I turn the key to start the car, the ignition thinks the car has started, but the engine doesn't turn over. It takes multiple tries to get the car to start.

02/19/2014 on a dry day, while driving in the center lane on I-4 around lakeland-fl, with 70mph a fedex vehicle's right rear tire blew off in front of me. I hit the brakes to avoid collision. ABS did not work and my brakes locked, my car has started spinning (3-4 times). My car went from the middle lane to the left lane then to the most right lane and off the road. Luckily I did not hit any other vehicles or the metal/concrete barriers while spinning out of the road.after the incident, while driving I have noticed a limping at slow speed and high vibration at higher speeds. All 4 tires were damaged. 3 warning lights appeared on the dashboard: Dsc + ABS + brake(red color). On 02/22 I took my vehicle to my mechanic.all 4 tires were found were because of the braking.the diagnostics tool read: 5df5 - control unit internal failure.I needed 4 new tires and my tires had 9/32 thread depth and were almost new. On Sunday - 02/23/2014 - I took in my vehicle for the tires. The tire shop declined to replace the tires under warranty because they were damaged by braking.they were nice enough to give me a discount and replaced the tires for $350. Teves dsc MK60 has been a problem not only in bmws but other brands such as VW and Audi. Just google it.if you are lucky the issue surfaces itself while the vehicle is under warrantyif not, the ABS pump unit is over $2300+labor and dsc module is over $1100+labor.I already spent $500 for the tires and brake flush. I have to pay one of the above prices to get my ABS fixed.I did not have any warning lights before my ABS (if dsc does not work ABS does not work) failed.the lights came on for a few days and now they are not on this is very dangerous and needs to be investigated by NHTSA and fixed by BMW usa with a recall. I could have killed myself or hurt/kill other innocent people on that highway.ABS/dsc are very important safety components.

We purchased our BMW 325 new in 2002. This car has been garage kept and well cared for. The vehicle has only 70,000 miles on the car. This car is now on it's 3rd set of control arms on the vehicle. I have heard this is a common problem but BMW refuses to issue a recall or service notification. Obviously the parts that are being used to replace the previous parts are defective. We have been told that they are "official" BMW parts. If this defect was not discovered and failed at slower or at highway speeds it could cause life threatening injuries or worse. Additionally the fix is very expensive to repair. Can you look into this?

BMW 325 ci: I have experienced so many problems with my 325ci BMW, I bought the car in November, the car is not even 1 year old and I have taken to service four times already. My car is a 2002 and at this moment it has 10,660 miles. The car has a major computer problem. My ABS seems to be malfunctioning as well as my emergency brake, and to make matters worse the transmission has been reprogramed and pieces are coming off in the inside. I have taken the car to service the past three weeks for the the computer and the body. Lucky BMW does have great service and I havent had to pay for a single repair. But I would really like to file a lemon law on the car because I know the problems with the car will never stop.
