Description of the problem | When are you going to issue a full recall for the bmw sticky steering issue! For years people have been complaining on socials media and the nhtsa that this is a very real issue and yet no recall! I have the issue. I can say at times in hot weather my car is almost uncontrollable. It is all i can do to keep my steering to go the way it is supposed to go without jerking and over correcting. I have had the car since 2013. I am the second owner. Everytime the temp gets above 80 the steering starts getting jerky and sticks. Just go to facebook. Bimmer forums. Everyone who owns a z4 is having these same issues. It is extremely expensive to fix. Bmw dealerships want to charge nearly 2000 for my 2005 bmw when this is a known issue. Unless you force bmw to be accountable people are going to get killed. |
