Description of the problem	the steering becomes difficult to control when temps are above 90 degrees. There is a significant difference when driving at any speed. When trying to turn the steering wheel to either side there is a quick over steer at the slightest movement causing the driver to try and correct which then causes a reverse over steer. This problem has been well documented by other owners to nhtsa and bmwna but ignored or viewed as not a safety issue. I beg to differ. I've experienced first hand the cause and affect of this steering issue when trying to avoid an object on the highway that only required a relatively easy turn of the steering wheel. However, because of the "sticky steering" the minor maneuver became a major control issue to bring the car back to a normal steering path. This problem is known throughout bmw z model owners as "sticky steering". I will not let my wife drive this vehicle because of the problem. It is just too dangerous. Why is this issue not being addressed. It is so wide spread and it is a safety issue.
