My car pulls hard and shudders when turning left or right or reversing at a very slow speed. Dangerous to drive shops have told me but they are having a hard time finding what issue is. My brother said it feels like the transfer case or all wheel drive not working. Shakes hard at every turn like wheel is dragging. My turbo's have been leaking since the day I got car and BMW never advised me after I have repeatedly told them my car isnt driving at max potential. Im always told a lot of white steam or smoke coming out of exhaust is normal. Have had my car at BMW service more than ive been able to drive it. Replaced car battery myself because car kept saying low power mode and BMW service charged me $800 saying it was negative battery cable.. it wasnt the issue. Car went into limp mode a week later. I couldnt drive it for 2 weeks then finally had it towed to a regular shop which said it was the spark plugs! now car transfer case has been bad for past 6 months.

Car is jumping forward when im coming to a stop at lights. Almost hit the car in front of me one time. It also shivers when turning slow or backing up and slowly acceleration. I can feel it in the steering so thought it might be a bad tire but realized upon research it could be drive train or power steering. Noticed smoke coming out of the front grill after arriving home from work a week ago. Lifted the hood and looked around. Saw fluid baked onto a nozzle but couldnt read what fluid compartment it was.. just researched issues im having online and saw it is the power steering nozzle, which actually had a recall back the year my car was made for power steering fluid leaking onto the engine and causing fires! scary stuff considering I had smoke coming out of engine grill last week.. my car has been at BMW service dept half of the time ive owned it because I notice it not feeling or driving correct for the engine I have and when I had warranty so many issue's were ignored and made worse by the horrible tech's they have. My turbo's have been leaking for a while causing my car to not perform 100%, they never advised me and always said car drove fine. My coolant was leaking badly and after dropping my car with them, they gave it back stating it was fixed. I drove for almost 2 weeks and realized the tech never put coolant back in and the list goes on..

Leak power steering fluid. If the flammable liquid sprays onto hot engine exhaust parts, an engine compartment fire may occur. According to NHTSA, the leaking power steering fluid is a result of a "machining error" in the steering gear surface during the production of the BMW X5 and BMW X6 "activity vehicles."
