Description of the problem | I know i am repeating what many others have already said, but this sticky steering situation is very dangerous... I hadn't related it to temp sensitivity until reading other posts. This condition spoils all the fun that this brand should have. What ticks me off is the dealer acts like i am the first one to complain. Come on , you could get away with that years ago but not now. We must speak up and be heard. As far as i'm concerned this vehicle is a piece of junk the way it is. At highway speeds this car will wear you out trying to overcorrect the steering. My wife is afraid to drive it. This is the first and probably last bmw i'm going to own. First couple of years it was a dream to drive but the last 4 years we have hardly put any miles on it.. |
