| Description of the problem | Purchased mar 15 2012 and 1st highway driving was mar 22, 2012. At approx 50 mph and greater vehicle wanders enough from left to right to require constant correction to keep it from going over center line or off side of road. If i adjust steering to left vehicle continues to left requiring an immediate adjustment to right which causes vehicle to continue to right, etc, etc, etc. No accident so far. However, have gone over center line and off side of road periodically. Bottom line ... My wife and i are concerned about our safety driving this vehicle. Will email info to dealer.. *js |
