Description of the problem | I being having problems with the steering is sticking while driving over 35 miles and specially in the evening in hot days. I always have to hold the wheel with two hands because the steering sticks and is harder to turn and it becomes very dangerous. I went to the mechanic and he recommend to replace the steering: electric power assist system. We tried to ordered via bmw and we were told that is back order and it may take a month or more to get it because many similar cars are having the same problem. It that is the case why there is not a recall? |
