Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Steering sticks when hot, has become much worse than when first identified and reported to bmw. My first reports were during the free year 3 and year 4 services and in the warranty period. Now when driving down a straight road, the car will not go straight and swerves from side to side in its lane. My fear is that the steering will get so hard that it may side swipe an vehicle in the next lane. My bmw dealer has verified the problem but bmw refuses to fix it. |
