Car Pulling to Right After Service

acdagc · 03-08-2012, 11:53 PM

I just took my 09 Z4 35 in for service. When I picked up the car, it pulled to the right. I checked the tires which were all OK and I couldn't see anything bent underneath the car. I continued driving and the DSC failure light came on and the cruise control dropped off. The dealer had installed new rear brake pads and rotors. They also installed "the latest program and code control units (number 0028010100). I'll take the car back in this weekend. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

wow, pads and rotors? I've 24K until mine on an 09!!

I don't have the same issue. Talk to the dealership?

The car has 29K. I was surprised it needed rear pads/rotors but the light came on and the dealer measured the pads at 4mm.

To follow up, I took the car back in and they found the steering angle sensor was faulty. They performed a "steering angle calibraton." Seemed to fix the problem. Just a few more days on the loaner 550i. Not too bad.
