Only 2 months ago and P/S fail
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Went to work this morning. 'Steering' alert fired off and my power steering isn't present as my steering just became stiff. 3,104 miles on my car thus far. Anyone else have power steering fail? |

A lot of people complain about EPS having poor road feel. They're right it is poor. So yow is the road feel with no power steering at all? Is it possible to drive a car without power steering or it's just too stiff?
I really hope you'll get you car fixed soon. |

This happened to me about 2 weeks after I got my car. The warning light came on and the wheel stiffened up. I turned the car off and back on and it was still there. Turned it off and on one more time and the warning was gone and it was back to normal. When it happened I probably had less than 200 miles on the car. It hasn't happened since. I have about 2,100 miles on it now.
I'm thinking there is some sort of glitch in the steering system that causes it to fail randomly...

No offense but that is a silly guess. Of course there is a "glitch" and I'm 100% sure it's not random. It needs to be brought to the dealer ASAP.
