Consumer Description

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 9/2012. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER DRIVING, FOUND THE VEHICLE TO HAVE A STEERING PROBLEM. THE CAR CONSTANTLY WANDERS ACROSS THE ROAD, LEFT, SOMETIMES RIGHT. IT REQUIRES YOU TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS WITH A VERY TIGHT GRIP, OTHERWISE YOU WILL END UP IN THE NEXT LANE, OFF THE ROAD, OR POSSIBLY INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALSO NOTICE THE CAR PRACTICALLY LOSES CONTROL WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST WIND, AGAIN THIS REQUIRES YOU TO TIGHTLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE, IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I'VE RETURNED THE CAR 3 TIMES TO THE DEALER, WITH NO RESULTS. *TR
