  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,400 miles
- the contact stated that while driving his 2004 BMW X5 (51400 failure mileage) at 55 mph, the steering wheel started to turn violently from right to left constantly for approximately 30 minutes. Once the contact slowed the vehicle down to 35 mph, the vehicle drove appropriately, until he hit a bump or he had to make a right or left turn. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who determined that the wheel sensor was defective. The vehicle had not been repaired.
