Consumer Description

THE CAR EXPERIENCES STICKY STEERING ALMOST ALL THE TIME NOW. IT IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE HIGHER. THERE IS DIFFICULTY KEEPING THE CAR IN IT'S OWN LANE. IT HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT REQUIRES AN INORDINATE AMOUNT THE FOCUS AND CONTROL TO KEEP THE CAR MOVING IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION. THERE IS ONLY 47,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND I DO NOT THINK SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD BE LEFT UNREPAIRED BY BMW. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES ON.
