Two times we have been unable to disengage the steering wheel locked. We have had to get the car towed to dealer for service. We thought that the first time was a mistake, then it happened a second time. No matter how hard we tried, we could not get the steering wheel unlocked to drive the car, even though we had the key. The vehicle was in the parking position and we could not get the steering wheel to move. We have a automatic transmission with a key lock. We would park the car in the parking lot and when we returned, we would put the key in the ignition to start the car, but the steering wheel would not move. It was completely locked. The steering wheel would not turn either left or right. The car would be in park with everything off, and nothing would move.
As I have learned as I research what I though was an isolated dangerous steering issue is that there are many many BMW z4 dangerously driving on our public roads. My car steers in many directions just driving down the road, especially in hotter weather where as the temperature starts to get hotter it seems that my newly purchased used BMW z4 losses all power steering, its like driving a car that is turned off from the steering perspective. I live in the dallas metroplex so as it been getting hotter I have found out first hand that this car is extremely dangerous to drive with 100% full attention to work the steering. Please have BMW face up to what they know is a serious recall and a matter of life and death on our highways and byways. Sincerely [xxx] owner of a 2003 BMW z4 with less than 30k miles.

While applying brakes steering jerks side to side. As a result, vehicle crosses over to different lanes without warning. The dealer states that is a normal procedure of the vehicle.
