Description of the problem | I traveled to pennsylvania from alabama to buy my z4 that i found on autotrader. Com. During my test drive i noticed nothing funny, but on the interstate on my way home i encountered what i can only describe as sticky steering. After research on the internet i found out that this is a very common problem in the 03,04, and 05 models. This is too expensive a car to have a problem like this! Hundreds of people and probably thousands of people have this problem as it is obviously a defect in the steering. We will not go away over this problem and something needs to be done before there are accidents and deaths and then lawsuits. You could force a recall and you should do this immediately!!! |
