Consumer Description

THIS CAR IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRAJECTORY UNDER PERFECT ROAD CONDITIONS OR ANY OTHER ROAD CONDITIONS. IT TENDS TO GO TO THE RIGHT, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT TOO MUCH "PLAY" IN THE STEERING. THE PLAY PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT ANGLE OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRAJECTORY. *TR
