| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle is unstable at highway speeds above 55+ mph. Vehicle has 3 steering modes (comfort, normal & sport) and regardless of which one, the vehicle requires constant course correction. At first i thought cross winds might have been the issue and it is not. Cross winds will actually make it worse. I've contact the dealer and i was informed the problem was a known issue. I have an infant child and another on the way. This is a serious concern as this vehicle shows signs to be unstable and causes fatigue. |
