Consumer Description

THE STEERING OF THIS CAR NEEDS CONSTANT CORRECTION. IT'S LIKE IT CANNOT DRIVE A STRAIGHT 1 MILE LINE. IF THE CAR DRIFTS TO THE LEFT, I TURN BRIEFLY AND SLIGHTLY RIGHT BUT THE CAR WILL THEN GO RIGHT. I THEN TURN SLIGHTLY LEFT BUT THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO GO LEFT UNTIL I CORRECT IT AGAIN. IT'S LIKE IT CANNOT KEEP A STRAIGHT LINE. IT IS DANGEROUSLY SENSITIVE TO THE SHAPE OF THE ROAD. I NEED TO MAKE CORRECTIONS EVERY FEW SECONDS. THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM DEPENDS ON THE ROAD, MOSTLY OBSERVABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I BELIEVE THAT 5-7 SECONDS OF NO CORRECTION WOULD BE ENOUGH TO CROSS INTO ANOTHER LANE CAUSING A CRASH. *TR
