| Description of the problem | I recently took my wife's car to a beta club convention, with 4 teenage children. When i hit the interstate it was vary hard to keep the car in my lane at 70 mph. The steering would catch and jerk me one way or the other. It was exhausting just trying to concentrate on staying in my lane. This is a major safety issue, and it makes me wonder how many people have to get hurt before this obvious design flaw gets a recall? |
