Hey,
Did anyone ever get this message on the i-drive. I received it this morning, and was wondering if it's a dealer issue.

I got the same message last week. I took it to the dealer and my SA told me this happens when power stearing fluid is low.

Yes not cheap though, special hydraulic fluid, and hard to find the fluid. Try a local napa. It is like $20-$30 a bottle.
