Consumer Description

STEERING WHEEL PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT WHEN STEERING THROUGH A CURVE. IT IS A VERY SUDDEN MOVEMENT AND LASTS FROM 1-3 SECONDS AND CAN HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES GOING THROUGH A CURVE. I WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND WAS PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD TRAVELING AT 55 MPH NEARLY MISSING A TREE. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS AT ANY SPEED AND AT ANY TIME.
