Consumer Description

THE CAR SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT HALF SHAFTS REPLACED TWICE AND NOW THE SHUDDER IS BACK AGAIN. THEY SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS, AS WELL AS THE NOISE THAT THE STEERING MECHANISM MAKES, AND THE FACT THAT THE MODEL X WIPERS DON'T WORK, BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO GET ALL THESE THINGS FIXED SINCE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY.
