| Description of the problem | Car has 12xxx miles on it - 80% of which being freeway miles. Brought into the dealer today for a complaint of the car diving to the right when the brakes are applied aggressively at those speeds. Discs, pads, and calipers all found to be in perfect condition. Internet forums are crawling with the same complaint. Dealer test drove an identical model with only 83 miles on it and experienced the exact same issue. This is a performance car with a potentially dangerous safety defect in one of its most important systems. Dealer reported all they can do at the moment is send the information up the chain to their regional director. |
