This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Went to start car after a 5 minute drive. Steering wheel locked, no sound, ignition not working. Had to have car towed. BMW is saying it needs a new steering column, ignition switch, to the tune of $3300! the car is a 2004 BMW 525I. Sounds like this is a common problem.
