Description of the problem | My 2005 bmw z4 has a steering issue that has affected thousands of similar vehicles. The steering column is faulty and results in loss of stability at speeds between 65-75 mph. The steering "drifts" and is difficult to control the vehicle. Steering also "sticks" and requires force to turn. There is much talk about a recall being forced onto bmw for their faulty steering column. Please move this forward for the thousands of drivers bmw has put at risk by not acknowledging and correcting this problem for their drivers. |
