"Stabilizer bar failed" after programming

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
As I mentioned in another thread of mine, I have been having issues with my steering wheel squeaking. First they replaced the steering column... it happened again. Second time they find that it is the EPS (Electronic power steering) system. The got the part and replaced it.

Now they tell me that my Stabilizer bar failed after programming and it also needs to be replaced. Is this a thing? Can someone give me some insight about this? Thank god its only 2500 miles and under warranty but my patience is going to thin out soon.

Assuming you have DHP and there's an issue with the active roll stabilization? But if they're replacing the EPS unit - it shouldn't require decoupling ARS.

There are two types of EPS on X7, with (variable rack geometry) and without (conventional) IAS. Error could be from IAS and performing a wheel alignment. There are carrier plates on the rear axle slip angle control (HSR) that shouldn't be undone.

Just my opinion:

Cars are super f-ing complicated these days. As complications increase, so will difficulties with technology. As long as it eventually gets fixed and the dealership provides a loaner or some compensation, no big deal.

Don’t even ask me what happens when a new F-35 gets delivered from the factory.
