| Description of the problem | Steering wanders at all speeds, worse at highway speeds. Noticed after purchase and took it back to dealer 3 separate times, and they tried to adjust, change tires, checked tires and alignment and the issue still wasn't resolved. Took the car to florida, 1600 miles, on oct. 2012 and the steering was still bad. Took car to dealer in florida and they said that is the way it is and denied that there was any problem with the steering. I now have 20000 miles and the wandering steering is terrible and i am very unsatisfied with the car. |
