There seems to be a common problem with these vehicles according to similar complaints being discussed in forums. My steering wheel is malfunctioning and creating a safety concern. While driving straight my horn and electrical controls do not function. If I turn the steering wheel to one side then the horn and electrical components work. I am also afraid that the airbag may not function properly because of this.

The "Secure from Rolling" alert pops up on screen and car is prevented from moving. Engine must be shut off and ignition turned back on to work. Gears/spring probably need replaced per error message.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 bmw 528i. While driving various speeds, the brake warning indicator illuminated. The contact also stated that the right and left turn signal indicators failed to operate and the rear brake lights failed to illuminate. In addition, the instrument panel lighting failed to illuminate. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing of the failures. The contact, a certified independent mechanic, stated that the brake light module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in any recalls; therefore, no assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

My vehicle suddenly stops. I've already replace the sparkplugs, coils, & fuel filter, but the problem does not go away. The sudden stopping happens when I'm driving or when I'm idle at either a stop sign or a light. The vehicle sputters until it completely turns off from I'm idle and there is no warning for when I'm actually driving, it just stops.

I received a displayed message there was a malfunction with the rear lamp. When checking the tail light assembly and wiring, I noticed the connector on the tail lamp assembly was melted (plastic) where the brown ground wire connected. The male/female connector parts got so hot that the plastic connector was melted where the ground wire connects. This was on the drivers side, but it is likely the passenger side would have the same problem. The heat generated to melt the plastic connector could cause the ground wire to burn and the brake/rear lights to fail. With a failure of the rear lights, an accident could happen.
