| Description of the problem | We purchases this vehicle in 2012. We noticed that when driving we have to hold the steering wheel really tight to stay in highway lanes. When driving on the highway the steering pulls right and left causing us to wander really close to others lanes. We have brought the car back several times during the last year and the dealer is unable to fix it. We feel very unsafe when driving on highways and fear an accident is waiting to happen. |
