Consumer Description

NOTICED SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING. HAD ALIGNED 3 TIMES ONCE AT A DIFFERENT SHOP. HAS NEW TIRES. TIRES ARE NOW CUPPED AND WILL WEAR UNEVENLY. STEERING WHEEL STILL SHAKES AND CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING PUSHED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. HEATER CORE IS NOW BAD AND IT'S NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD. ALL WINDOWS FOGGED UP INCLUDING FRONT WINDSHIELD AND CAN SMELL COOLANT WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. WINDOWS BEGIN TO FOG UP DRIVING IN TOWN AND THEN COMPLETELY FOG UP HIGHWAY DRIVING.
