Consumer Description

I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR DUE TO STEERING. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS WOBBLY AND HAD NO TRACTION. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE OUT OF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. IT HAS BEEN BALANCED AND ALIGNED 4 TIMES, NEW BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS TURNED. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE STEERING OR THE TIRE. IT BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAVE HAD IT RE-BALANCE AND EACH TIME NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY IT KEEPS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS MOTOR RELATED, STEERING OR THE TRANSMISSION. SO FRUSTRATED. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO.
