Consumer Description
WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE 80F THE STEERING STICKS AND REQUIRES MORE INPUT TO OVERCOME THE RESISTANCE. ONCE IT OVERCOMES THE RESISTANCE IT OVER CORRECTS SO THAT YOU HAVE A ZIG ZAG DRIVING PATTERN. I WAS TOLD BMW IS AWARE BUT THERE IS NO FIX ALTHOUGH ONLINE MESSAGE BOARDS STATE MANY HAVE HAD THEIR CARS REPAIRED. *NM
