The problem occurred about 100,000 miles. The vehicle is no longer under warranty, and i have noticed there are lots of other cars out there with the same problem. Also, when travelling at a high rate of speed and the brakes are applied the steering wheel shakes violently. No, it doesn't need an alignment. |
