WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR I HAVE FELT AS IF I WAS GOING TO BE SLUNG INTO TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE ,HIGHWAYS, CITY ROADS , COUNTRY ROADS, AND DEFINITELY IN MOST CURVES. IT'S LIKE THE CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN GOING WHERE IT WANTS AT LOW SPEEDS YOU CAN'T FEEL OR SEE IT TO MUCH BUT AFTER AROUND 35 TO 40 IS WHEN IT'S MOST NOTICEABLE I FEEL THAT I GOT I WILL TRADE FOR SOME THIS HAS RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE TO BE TOTALED OUT. AS I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN ONE DAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLED HARDER INTO THE TURN SO I TRIED TO ADJUST BUT IT SENT ME INTO A FISHTAIL AND BEFORE I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD I IMPACTED WITH ANOTHER CAR WHICH DEPLOYED SEVEN AIRBAGS.
