2018 BMW X5 Steering Problems

I AM EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING ISSUE AS REPORTED IN NHTSA ID# 11196600. THE STEERING VERY SUDDENLY DEVELOPED VERY NOTICEABLE PLAY IN STEERING. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH OR SO, BECAUSE OF THE STEERING PLAY, THE VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO WANDER SOMETIMES TO THE LEFT AND SOMETIMES THE RIGHT AT WHICH POINT THE STEERING TAKES HOLD WHICH IS FELT AS A TWITCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE FRONT END BECOMES LIGHT AS IN CASES WHEN DRIVING OVER AN OVERPASS OR ON ROADS THAT UNDULATE SOME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE BMW DEALER IN LAFAYETTE, IN ON 23-DEC-19 TO HAVE THEM LOOK INTO IT. THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG, BUT UPON ROAD TESTING THE VEHICLE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THAT THE VEHICLE HANDLES AND DRIVES - THOUGHT TO PERHAPS...

WHILING DRIVING THE VEHICLE OVER 40 PLUS MILES THE STEERING WHEEL GETS ERRATIC AND TWITCHY. IT TRIES TO MAKES MICRO TURNS SOMETIMES TO LEFT AND SOMETIMES RIGHT MAKING YOU FEEL AS IF ITS WINDY OUTSIDE WHICH IS MAKING THE VEHICLE PULL TO ONE SIDE OR OTHER. IT BECOMES A CHALLENGE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN LANE.
