 Description of the problemCan not hold the car in a straight line at highway speeds . Car will drift left and right and needs constant corrections . These result of these corrections have a varying result in the car over correcting or under correcting . Main safety issue is the car wanders on its own with the steering wheel centered and results in drifting into other lanes . The drift seems to be more apparent on flat stretches of freeway as compared to roads with a bigger crown which you can hold the steering wheel into to stay centered . The feeling in the steering wheel is tight and hard while going straight then requires a good solid pull to correct the drift ,the steering will then correct or over correct mostly over correct. I actually feared taking this car on a trip last weekend due to the fact that we were going to be driving in snow ,luckily at 30 mph with chains on the drift was minimal.
