Consumer Description

VERY SEVERE UNCONTROLLABLE FRONT END SHIMMY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND NO TROUBLE WAS FOUND. SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED TIRE BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT. I PAID FOR THAT SERVICE OUT OF POCKET AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I THEM REPLACE THE TIRES OUT OF POCKET. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I THEN REPLACED THE SHOCKS AND STEERING STABILIZER OUT OF POCKET. PROBLEM IS 90 PERCENT BETTER BUT YOU MUST BE CAREFUL OF THE VEHICLE LIMITATIONS. IN MY OPINION THEIR IS A VEHICLE DESIGN FLAW. EXACT DATES CAN BE SUPPLIED IF NECESSARY. *TR
