Consumer Description

AFTER THE FIRST YEARS MAINTENANCE TIRES WERE ROTATED. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS STEERING PROBLEMS. I DO NOT FEEL I HAVE SAFE CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE AS DONE AGAIN FOR FREE. DEALERSHIP STATED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED. THIS STILL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE STEERING PROBLEMS AND IT FEELS UNSAFE AT TIMES I AM NERVOUS DURING TURNS. AT ONE POINT WHEN I'M AT A LIGHT AND PRESS GAS WHEELS STEER OFF WITHOUT CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES. AT ONE POINT ANOTHER DRIVER TOLD ME SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY WHEEL I LOOKED AND SAW NO PROBLEM SINCE IT HASN'T OCCURRED BUT STEERING IS STILL AN ISSUE. DATE BELOW IS MOST RECENT ISSUE. I AM NOTIFYING BEFORE A ACCIDENT OCCURS. DEALERSHIP TESTED AND STATED THERE IS NO MORE PROBLEM BUT YET I FEEL UNSAFE SINCE FIRST MAINTENANCE AT DEALERSHIP. BEFORE THEN CAR WAS EXCELLENT. DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED ROTATION MAY TAKE A WHILE TO ADJUST. IT HAS NOT YET. THEY WOULD LIKE TO JUST ROTATE TIRES BACK TO ORIGINAL I DON'T WANT THAT. DEALERSHIP STATED IT HELPS WEAR ON TIRES BY ROTATING. *LA
