| Description of the problem | The steering in this car is faulty and it's becoming dangerous. I don't have the issue every time i drive it, but it's happening more often as of late. When making a right or left turn the car will over turn (quickly jerk) towards the curve or towards oncoming traffic even when switching lanes on the highway it does this at times. I'll have to regain control in order to not hit the car next to me. This has been going on since i brought the car which was two summers ago. I will put the day it happened last below. |
