Description of the problem | The steering on my 05 bmw z4 gets choppy or sticks or very hard to steer when running at highway speeds and city speeds. This problem occurs every time i drive the car. This is a safety hazard . If steering locks bad news nothing has been done to correct the problem because of the cost the dealer wants to repair it. I don't drive the vehicle much because of fear of steering locking up and causing an accident, vehicle only has 25,833 miles on it. |
