Consumer Description

BOUGHT USED 2004 BMW Z4 IN AUG 2012, STEERING SEEMED FINE, IT HAD 39K MILES ON IT. NOW AT 44K MILES THE STEERING HAS BECOME NOTCHY, WOBBLY FEELING AND THE CAR DARTS AROUND. HAD ALIGNMENT DONE IN JAN 2013 BUT STILL A PROBLEM. LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED ALREADY, I AM NOT ALONE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PAY OUT A SMALL AMOUNT TO FIX THIS BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A 3K-4K FIX FROM WHAT I'VE READ. BMW NEEDS TO RECALL OR ELSE COME UP WITH A FIX THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE REPLACING THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. WHAT DO YOU SAY BMW? *TR
