| Description of the problem | My wife came out to start the vehicle and noticed the car was leaning severely to one side. The driver front and rear was tilted, something i never witnessed before on any vehicle i once owned. I took it to the dealer and they told me it was a sensor that controlled the balance of the vehicle. The sensor was changed and a few days later it started leaning again. I noticed when the vehicle sits it will begin to lean, but once it is driven for 10 miles it begins to balance itself. I have been trying to contact you all about this situation, however to no , so now i will begin taking further procedures to correct this situation, and not have to continue paying for a default that`s inconceivable. |
