| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Lots of play in the steering driving at slower speeds in rural areas. On the highway the steering pulls in both left and right at different times, not like an alignment issue that it would pull to one side or the other. I called my dealership service dept and they say that they have not had any complaints regarding this issue. My tires have barely any tread on them from 18,000 mi to now which it has only 23,000 miles on it. I need new tires before it will pass inspection. There is definitely a problem! |
