Consumer Description

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES HARD, VEHICLE SWERVES LEFT OR RIGHT MAKING CONTROL VERY DIFFICULT. ON TWO OCCASIONS COULD NOT STAY IN LANE. HAVE HAD IT IN DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST 5 TIMES. DEALER HAS CHANGED DISCS, ROTORS, PADS, CALIPERS, AND HAVE SWAPPED PARTS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THEY HAVE ALSO CHANGED TIE ROD. I HAVE ALSO CHANGED SHOCKS AND TIRES. DEALER SAYS THEY ALL DO THIS. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, AND HAD THERE BEEN CARS IN NEXT LANE I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. TO MAKE IT WORSE TWO PEOPLE HAVE JUST DIED IN AN EXCURSION WHEN SHE LOST CONTROL ON HIGHWAY IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES.*AK
