Hello, I purchased my 17 year old daughter an 03 X5 and she has not complained about the issue I'm writing about. During the holidays I drove it to visit relatives about 300 miles from our home. The vehicle seems prone to oversteer at highway speeds. Can you (anyone) tell me if this vehicle has active steering and if it does where might I begin to look for problem causing the oversteer? Thanks
My best guess, at least at first, is to check the tire pressures and make sure they're set based on the numbers printed on a sticker located on the driver's door jamb. If the pressures are okay, have a dealer check the alignment of all four wheels and make sure everything is up to specification...
