Description of the problem | While driving the steering on the bmw 2005, z4 became difficult to guide or turn. To maneuver the car in a road driving lane, it was often necessary to forcibly turn the steering wheel. When that was done, the car would jerk to the side where the turn was being attempted. This often cause the car to veer into other lanes. It was repaired to avoid an accident and bmw has not recognized this problem as a safety issue. Bmw needs to take responsibility for this problem and issue a safety recall and either pay for the repair or reimburse any z4 car owner who paid to fix the safety problem and avoid an accident. |
