Consumer Description
JOURNEY WILL DRIVE AND TURN JUST FINE, THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN OR WILL NOT TURN AT ALL, ESPECIALLY ON A RIGHT TURN. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN GOING 20MPH OR LESS (EVEN MORE OFTEN WHEN BACKING UP). I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE SATURDAY BECAUSE IT LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I TOOK IT TO DEALER BEFORE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THEY SAID. I DROPPED IT OFF AGAIN TODAY AND TOLD THEM TO TRY DRIVING IT ON PARKING LOT SLOW AND TO BACK UP AND DRIVE FORWARD A FEW TIMES BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN IT DOES IT MOST, BUT THEY JUST PULLED IT IN SHOP, SO DOUBT THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TODAY EITHER. IT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT NOW AND THEY SAY IF THEY DON'T FIND IT BEFORE IT HITS 36,000 THEN IT WON'T BE COVERED. IT HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS RESOLVING. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS LAST NIGHT WHEN I PARKED IT IN FRONT OF THE DEALER, BUT IT HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR A LONG TIME AND BECOMING MUCH MORE FREQUENT. THANK YOU. *TR
