| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Was driving down a 2-lane curvy road at night, dry weather, 75 f at 30 mph when car began to whine whenever steering wheel was turned. as i decelerated to 10-15 mph to make a 90 degree right turn around a curve, the steering wheel became suddenly extremely difficult to turn. almost t-boned a car traveling in the opposite direction around same curve. was able to get the car back in my lane, and get it home, but not without a lot of effort. called bmw service, they acknowledged they've serviced a few minis with the same problem, and was most likely a power steering pump failure. car will be towed today. *jb |
