Description of the problem | In warm weather the steering on my bmw z4 is sticky and unresponsive at highway speeds. The steering becomes notchy and i am force to "unstick" the steering wheel by jerking the steering wheel to make minor lane corrections, this over steers the vehicle and i am then forced to unstick the wheel again and jerk the wheel in the opposite direction. This results in dangerously weaving through the lane close to oncoming and passing traffic. The vehicle is dangerous to drive in conditions warmer than 75 degrees fahrenheit. |
