| Description of the problem | Vehicle lurches to the right, dealership replaced all rims and tires, thus making the problem slightly better. Mechanic said it was a "design flaw" nothing could be done about it and to call the service manager, the service manager said "all vehicles in colorado drift to the right due to road crowns". My jgc still drifts to the right within 5-10 seconds on all types of roads. I bought this vehicle two weeks ago, it has 800+ miles on it.*ak |
