MY 2005 BMW Z4 STEERING SEEMS TO DRIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN THE LANE. WHEN YOU ADJUST FOR THIS ( WHICH IS CONSTANT) THE STEER WHEEL FIGHTS YOU AND IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK, THEN BREAKS LOSE. THEN YOU GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LANE. IT'S WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND I BELIEVE THIS IS DANGEROUS DUE TO CONSTANT ATTENTION REQUIRED TO KEEP THE CAR TRACKING DOWN ROAD. IN TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN TO A CENTER POSITION AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO RETURN TO CENTER POSITION. THIS IS CONSTANT ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE HAVE THE CAR ALIGN BY BMW AND THE TIRE ROTATED WITH NO CHANGE. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM.

STEERING WHEEL FEELS JERKY WHEN TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT AND REACHES A POINT WHERE ADDED FORCE IS NEEDED TO TURN THE WHEEL RESULTING IN SUDDEN MOVES OF THE CAR TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT RESPECTIVELY. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE APPEARS TO AFFECT WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT WAS 94F TODAY AND CAR WAS PARKED IN THE SUN FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS. CONDITION IS LIFE THREATENING AND WILL CHANGE HOW OFTEN I WILL DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED IN ONLINE FORUMS BUT I HAVE OT FOUND A RECALL NOTICE FOR IT YET. MY VEHICLE SHOWS NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS BUT I CANNOT VERIFY IF A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND IF MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO ADDRESS IT.

WHEN THAT WAS DONE, THE CAR WOULD JERK TO THE SIDE WHERE THE TURN WAS BEING ATTEMPTED. THIS OFTEN CAUSE THE CAR TO VEER INTO OTHER LANES. IT WAS REPAIRED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND BMW HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THIS PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE. BMW NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL AND EITHER PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR REIMBURSE ANY Z4 CAR OWNER WHO PAID TO FIX THE SAFETY PROBLEM AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT.

STEERING BINDS IN CENTER POSITION WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED. SMALL CORRECTIONS ARE HARD TO MAKE AS STEERING RESISTS & THEN OVER CORRECTS. PROBLEM IS MOST NOTICEABLE DURING HOT WEATHER AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOME WORSE OVERTIME .

THE RESULT IS AN OVER CORRECTION CAUSING ERRATIC STEERING. THIS CONDITION IS TEMPERATURE RELATED AND IS MADE WORSE WHEN HOT. IT IS PRESENT AT ALL TIMES...WHILE TURNING OR DRIVING OR STRAIGHT AHEAD. ANY LOSS OF STEERING IS A SAFETY ISSUE OF IMPORTANCE. THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2003 - 2005 BMW Z4'S.

I CAN PULL IT OUT OF THE GARAGE AND IT'S FINE, BUT ONCE I GET TO WHERE I'M GOING AND IT SITS IN THE SUN FOR A FEW HOURS, THEN IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. IT USED TO JUST STICK WHILE ON TURNS, BUT NOW IT IS STARTING TO STICK WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL BACK & FORTH TO STAY STRAIGHT AND IN THE LINES. I'M AFRAID ONE OF THESE DAYS IT'S GOING TO STICK AND TAKE ME RIGHT OFF THE ROAD. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THESE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS

ODI has evaluated the sticky steering condition, which included reviews of complaints and warranty claims, interviews and surveys of owners of complaint vehicles, road tests of complaint vehicles, and a review of BMW's engineering and test data.ODI found the sticky steering condition does not result in a significant steering effort, thus the impact on the driver's ability to control the vehicle does not appear to be significant.A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that no safety-related defect exists.The agency will monitor the issue and reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.See the attached report for additional information.In addition, during this investigation, ODI became aware of allegations of failure or loss of electric power-assisted steering on the subject vehicles.As a result, ODI is separately reviewing this issue to determine whether additional agency action is needed.
