BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 17, 2010.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with STEERING . on june 28, 2010 i learnt that the nhtsa odi opened investigation pe10020 into safety issues with 2003 to 2005 bmw z4 power steering systems. the description of the problem exactly describes the characteristics of the recurring problem i have been experiencing with my 2005 z4, in that the steering wheel sticks, binds or locks up, and requires increased steering effort resulting in difficulty controlling the vehicle such as the potential to over-steer when making hard and abrupt steering wheel movements. the failures typically occur at higher vehicle speeds (45 mph or greater) and in warm/hot weather (75º f or higher). in my case, this has not resulted in an accident yet, but i) averts driver attention from focusing on the road and surroundings to consciously think about and physically overcome the steering mechanism resistance, and ii) having to over-correct sharply on turns to avoid other vehicles. i have correlated this mostly with driving in higher temperature, where on days over 85f the steering is very stiff, however i would say that as a five time bmw owner, it is stiff/notchy even at 68f. *tr.Mileage was 500 miles.

BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2008.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with STEERING . i have major problems with the steering wheel of my 2005 bmw z4 3i, purchased as a certified pre-owned car from a bmw dealer. it had about 11k miles on it. since then i have been experiencing this problem described below. i have not had any accident with it, but this is a complaint that there may me a safety issue with the steering wheel of the car. 1)it keeps pulling to the left, or to the right especially at lowers speeds say below 60 mi/hr. it requires constant adjustments so that i could keep the car aligned, or centered while driving. 2) the car pulls me to the left, or to the right suddenly when the road surface is slightingly uneven, especially in lower speeds. i can never predict which way the car pulls me. it can be very struggling to keep the steering under control when stopping at any red lights because of these sudden jerks in the steering, or pulls in the steering wheel. 3) sometimes, the steering feels like it is stuck, or locked in a way that i feel like i could not control it. this usually happens when the weather is hot, or at higher humidity. 4) i took the car to the dealer two years ago when i still had the warranty, and then they replaced the steering column and alignment was made after the replacement. however, the symptoms did not go away at all. i took the car to another dealer; i was told that it just required an alignment which was already done after the replacement of the steering column. so, there should not be an alignment relate problem. if the only problem was the alignment problem, the car should have pulled either to the left, or to the right, not to the both directions. 5) i believe if any elderly person, or someone with slower reflex, tries to drive this car with such problems may end up having a catastrophic crash. mainly because, the driver must pay lots of attention to keep the car centered, or the steering under control. otherwise, at any second you may find yourself somewhere off the road. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):4USBT535X5L.

BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 27, 2011.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with STEERING . i bought the z in july, during the dealer test drive it handled great. the test was about 20 minutes long. after we picked up the car on my first trip home , about 35 miles ,on a hot summer afternoon , i noticed the steering seamed to freeze up and would need extra effort to make a steering correction. once you turned off center it would feel ok until you needed to make another steering adjustment. we took it back to the dealer and they sent it down the street to a very reputable bmw dealer who test drove the z and reported back "no problem ". there is a steering problem and it is a very serious one. while driving the speed limit one must always anticipate the problem , if you forget, you could have an accident by over steering while using extra pressure on the steering wheel to correct your direction. *tr.Mileage was 75500 miles.

BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 02, 2011.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with STEERING . steering sticks while driving. i noticed this several times. i purchased the car used on 11/2/11, it has not been in any accidents. on driving home from purchase, noticed that the steering sticks while turning at times. initially thought this might just be trim parts rubbing on each other, but it takes some significant effort to get the wheel to turn when it is in a stuck position. when the steering sticks at highway speed, it is very dangerous as it requires significant turning effort to move past the sticking point which could result in oversteer at highway speeds. *tr.Mileage was 69000 miles.

BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on Mar 14, 2012.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with STEERING . my 2005 z4 3.0i has an intermittent steering problem. i never know when it will malfunction or when it will correct itself. it doesn`t seem to be effected by temperature or humidity. road surface or any certain speed,when it binds up it requires both hands on the steering wheel to keep the car under control. it is impossible to drive straight down a freeway, when it wanders to the left i must use excessive effort to turn to the right and it oversteers and i have to bring it back to the left so i just wiggle my way down the road. on a three hour trip, both on freeway and two lane roads, my shoulders and hands were so tired i had to pull off the road and rest and i was only twenty five miles from returning home. sometimes the problem doesn`t occur but i always must be vigilant because when it happens i had better be prepared, it could be so easy to lose control of this car. it is a really nice car if not for this problem. my wish is for bmw to remedy this situation voluntarily or have a nhtsa recall on all (and there are a lot of z4`s with this condition), these cars because this is a glaring safety issue, besides being a real pain to drive. i have tried everything i can think of, like pulling off the road and shutting off the ignition and restarting besides three inspections at a bmw dealership, two of which i paid the going service rate. also a four wheel alignment which didn't help at all. z4 owners need some help from somewhere! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 53457 miles.

BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 25, 2013.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with STEERING . first a description of the problem: my steering column turns similar to the fan control switch on the z4 ? from detent to detent and not smoothly like a volume control on a radio. if you reach forward to the fan control console and turn it you will note that it does not turn smoothly it goes from stop to stop to stop about every 5 degrees. each stop is called a detent. so as you turn the knob it starts in a detent then as you turn it clicks into the next detent and stops then you have to twist a bit harder till it clicks into the next detent. that is how my steering column acts when it is hot outside. it clicks into one detent and that position may not keep you driving straight down the road. you try to correct it and it will not turn unless you push extra hard then it goes past the point that would keep you going straight down the road into the next detent and you are progressively headed off the other side of the road. as you try to correct it by turning back, it will not smoothly turn back, it resists till you push extra hard then it goes past the point that would keep you going straight and stops in the next detent and now you are headed off the road in the other direction. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 78000 miles.

BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 18, 2014.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with STEERING . this steering in this vehicle is downright dangerous! i purchased the car used 6 months ago in the winter and only drive it a few times. as i've been driving more in the nicer weather, the steering started to "stick" causing me to oversteer. i am terrified to even drive this car on the highway because it gets worse as you increase speed and because of the unpredictability of the steering mechanism. the steering problem intensifies in hot weather. it nearly impossible to stay within your lane on a road with slight curves. i brought the car to bmw service center and was told the steering column needed to be replaced at a cost of $3500. i came online to do some research only to find hundreds of other people with the same exact problem. bmw must be aware of this potentially fatal flaw in their vehicle. i don't understand why there was not a recall issued. my fear it that one day the steering is going to lock completely. until we try to get a better estimate on the price of the steering column replacement we will not be driving this vehicle. please look into this, it is an accident waiting to happen. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 61000 miles.

BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on Mar 14, 2014.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with STEERING . steering started to seem stiff or sticky on occasion at various speeds, now occurring much more frequently. the car seems to drift back and forth and one must keep frequently correcting to keep car going straight. more so than you would normally expect and much more for a car of this caliber i would think. it sticks then there is a "dead space" until you catch it to correct it. i think this type of occurrence can be very dangerous. i was checking everything i could to find the issue, i.e. : tire pressure, balance, alignment, bearings etc. to no avail. even tried to locate the power steering fluid reservoir but obviously now i know there is none! one would think that bmw would correct this issue for generally honorable reasons. all it will take is for that steering to stick, the "dead space" to occur and at 70 mph on the freeway no time to correct until you hit the concrete divider and well you can guess the rest. how many could be killed ? especially in heavy traffic? and for a obviously faulty electric motor? i'm sure there are many more people who own these cars and may not know what to do about it. we need you to make this right before someone dies, perhaps this has already happened and its not known and is related to a poor driver or error? be cautious when near a z4 on the highway you or someone you love or know may be the next unwilling victim! just saying. help!!!.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55347 miles.

BMW Z4 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 12, 2013.BMW Z4 2005, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with STEERING . the electric power steering on the car is dangerous. the steering is erratic and very twitchy. the problem is noticeable at lower speeds but at highway speeds it is dangerous to drive the car. the steering wheel starts out stiff, like an old car without power steering, but then the electric motor suddenly provides too much power assistance. the electric assist results in a sharper turn than you need and therefore requires immediate correction. it consistently does this; it is not a one-time thing. it requires constant attention, with both hands on the wheel at all times. this makes the car both mentally and physically exhausting to drive on the highway. driving at lower speeds is annoying but at highway speeds it is dangerous. the correction and subsequent overcorrection problem makes the car drive down the highway like a snake. it is difficult to keep the car in the correct lane. the rougher the pavement the more difficult it is to drive the car. there have been a few times where the overcorrection has resulted in accidentally veering out of the correct lane. fortunately, no accident has occurred⿦yet. please feel free to contact me and come drive the car to see for yourself. it only has 55,000 miles on it and based on the other complaints this is a systemic problem with the 2005 bmw z4. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50000 miles.
