| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle's steering requires constant correction. Vehicle will not track straight. Very difficult to keep vehicle in a lane, sometimes almost impossible. Not a problem for in-town driving, but a major problem on highways. Problem gets exponentially worse as speeds increase, especially on i-45 and i-130 in central texas where speeds are 80+. Windy conditions magnify the problem. Vehicle is essentially weaving down the road. Very dangerous since vehicle is always heading toward centerline or shoulder. There is something seriously wrong with the design of the steering on this vehicle. |
