NHTSA Complaint #10633245 — 2009 SUBARU FORESTER

CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN NORTH ON I 83 WHEN THE CAR (SUBARU FORESTER 2009) STARTED SWAYING BETWEEN TWO LANES. I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL TO STOP THE SWAYING UNTIL THE CAR SPEED LOWERED CONSIDERABLY. OTHER CARS ALONG SIDE AND BEHIND MY CAR TOOK EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID HITTING MY CAR. I DROVE THE CAR HOME SAFELY AFTER I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS EXAMINED BY A COLLISION CENTER AND THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THE INCIDENCE. THE COLLISION CENTER SUGGESTED REALIGNMENT AND ROTATION OF THE WHEELS. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF A BUSHING AT THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM. THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE CAR DIDN'T AGREE THAT THE BUSHING REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE AUTO. *TR
