 Description of the problemI just bought a 2005 bmw z4 on 5/31/16 as a gift for my daughter for her accomplishments of setting multiple athletic records at her high school while maintaining a 6. 0 gpa. I test drove the car in the city streets and it drove excellent. I liked the car very much and purchased in the city of st. Petersburg florida. Since i live in tampa, florida i had my wife follow me back while i drove the z4 back. The car function perfectly until i got onto the interstate. The second i got up to around 50 miles per hour. I found myself terrified as the steering began to stick at almost dead center, causing the car to shift dangerously as i overcompensate to keep the car in the lane. My daugher is a bit disappointed, because of my fear to let her drive the car. It seemed so strange that i felt duped by the dealership. I got suspiscious, pulled a carfax and it was clean. I then researched the issue on the internet and found that many people have been experiencing the exact situation. It's an obvious mechanical defect that can contribute to a fatal accident. So why has there not been a recall for this issue? It's puzzling.
