Consumer Description

I BEING HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING IS STICKING WHILE DRIVING OVER 35 MILES AND SPECIALLY IN THE EVENING IN HOT DAYS. I ALWAYS HAVE TO HOLD THE WHEEL WITH TWO HANDS BECAUSE THE STEERING STICKS AND IS HARDER TO TURN AND IT BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS. I WENT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE RECOMMEND TO REPLACE THE STEERING: ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. WE TRIED TO ORDERED VIA BMW AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IS BACK ORDER AND IT MAY TAKE A MONTH OR MORE TO GET IT BECAUSE MANY SIMILAR CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT THAT IS THE CASE WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL?
