Consumer Description

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WANDERS LT AND RT ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS FROM 65-75 MPH. IT IS EVEN MORE NOTICEABLE WITH WINDS 10+ MPH. YOU HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WANDER INTO OTHER LANES OR OFF THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM IS EVEN MULTIPLIED WHEN IT IS RAINING, IF FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS HYDRO-PLANING. IT IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON GOOGLE I FOUND MULTIPLE SITES WHERE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. I ONLY HAVE 9,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND FEEL LIKE IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY ARE LOOKING INTO IT, WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ADMIT TO ANYTHING. WHAT SHOULD MY NEXT STEP BE? *JS
