Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The steering in my car seems a little odd at speed. The car wants to sway back and forth when traveling in a straight line. I thought it my be the road conditions but i am not totally convinced that the steering should be bad enough that you many need to slow down in order to make the necessary steering corrections at speeds of 70 mph. I know for a fact that others are experiencing the same issues as me as o have read post after post to the problem while looking for solutions. I have tried buying new tires and that seems to cut it down some but it did not get rid of what some call tramlining. I am calling it swaying as i may not know the correct terminology. I hope that you investigate this issue so that we can truly find the issue so that a fix can be put into place so that these cars are more safe. |
