Consumer Description

PURCHASED THIS CAR USED LAST JAN. NO INCIDENTS YET, BUT CAN NOT DRIVE (WITH PASSENGERS IN THE BACK OR WEIGHT IN THE CARGO AREA) OVER 35 MPH IN CERTAIN ROAD CONDITIONS, MAINLY WHEN THERE IS ICE AND DRY PAVEMENT TOGETHER. HAS DANGEROUS REAR STEER PROBLEM IN THOSE CONDITIONS. I HAVE DRIVEN EVERY TYPE OF VEHICLE FROM SEMI'S TO OLDER SUBARU OUTBACKS AND WAS BORN AND RAISED IN MICHIGAN. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY FAMILY OR OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE CAR! HAVE TRIED TIRES, STIFFER SPRINGS AND STRUTS AND ALIGNMENT. THE CAR IS 90% BETTER WHEN I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR. NOTE** I AM NOT AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER AND NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH BECAUSE IT'S AWD. *TR
