2011 X5M steering wheel malfunction

All,

I just picked up an x5M yesterday. Very happy with it although it a big change (literally) from what I was driving before.

Anyways was on the highway Doing about 80 and all of a sudden steering wheel malfunction pops up!! Have no control of the steering wheel and seems like EDC shut off.

Pull over and shut car off and restart and goes away.

Needless to say that was quite scary and considering I only have put 50 miles of my own on it that's seems off.

Anyone have this happen? Perhaps steering fluid is off?

happened to me a few times. Lost power steering. Just drive it a little. pull over. Shut it off and restart and all is well.

You will get this and the reduced power every once in a while. The reduced power doesn't seem to effect the vehicle much. But the steering does cause it to become like manual steering. Dealer had no idea.
