Sudden wheel bearing failure - little or no symptoms before failure. Severe or total loss of control. Seems to be a common problem with sealed unit angular contact units on all bmw's this has happened 3 times on our vehicles - resulting in one crash. We know of other similar incidents. *jb
I have been sold a used car that has had the odometer rolled back. I have had the vehicle for under a year and need to know what is a good plan of action.
Abs brakes failed. The abs brakes failed to work. Indicator light now on. Brake relays ok. Bmw dealer unable to fix. They say they don't know what the problem is or where to begin. *nlm
