Consumer Description

ON ONE OCCASION, MY VEHICLE SWERVED WITHOUT WARNING INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE, LIKE BEING BLOWN BY A STRONG GUST OF WIND. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED PULLING AND MY WIFE HAD TO FIGHT IT TO GET IT TO PULL SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN I ARRIVED I TRIED IT AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING & STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM HAD IMPROPERLY SENSED THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION AND HAD BEEN TRYING TO COMPENSATE. WHILE REPLACEMENT OF THE SAID PARTS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM, MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE VEHICLE SWERVED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. *TR
