Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While driving steering is hard to turn lots of resistance then moves and is loose . This comes and goes however seams to get worse with higher temperature . Other times it's just loose other times fine. Many examples if you look it up, most call it sticky steering. Car has had front end alignment checked several times including checking for wear { have life time alignment} . No codes. As i said this is a bmw problem that they have chosen to ignore. Fun car to drive but i'm scared to drive it. I can see where this problem could easily cause you to end up in an accident. Defiantly not an ultimate driving machine now. |
