Description of the problem | The steering on my bmw z4 2005 model sticks to the point of being unsafe on warm days. It is very sluggish to respond followed by erratic overcompensation. If the temperature is cool (<80-85 degrees) there is no detected problem. We can leave in the morning after the car being garage and it handles like a dream- 2 hours later after being driven in or sitting in the hot sun the steering is like its in mud. Whether taking an exit or simply changing lanes on the interstate. It is unsafe and should require immediate investigation. |
