Last night while driving I made a U-turn in front of my house and notice the indicator for the active roll stabilization malfunction was displayed in the instrument cluster. After 2 minutes the symbol went away made another turn and the symbol appeared in the cluster again, I also notice this only happens when I make a sharp left turn. After driving for about 5 minutes and checking the system information in the Idrive setting there's no errors in the service log. Have any members had the same problem.

possibly low in oil due to leakage. I didn't get any notification from the Idrive but there was some oil leakage and had to replace the unit under warranty before.

honestly I do not know that much about car talk but it's the unit right in the middle if you removed the underneath cover. I believe is called the active stabilizer. Had the car lifted up at my uncle's shop and saw oil was dripping slowly from it. I'm sure others here will chime in with more info for you.

more than likely your power steering fluid level is low. the active roll system runs off the power steering pump.
top off with pentosin chf11s
