| Description of the problem | The 2011 lincoln mkz hybrid drifts to the left while driving. Lincoln says it is not a problem. I have owned over 75 cars and was a fleet manager for the gsa fleet. I never had a vehicle that had a drift that did not have a problem. This is 2011 and vehicles should not drift under any conditions. It can occur when both hands are on the whell. How is this not dangerous? |
