| Description of the problem | Started noticing this problem in the first week of purchase. Car needs to be constantly corrected to stay inside the lane even when driving straight, and the steering becomes to taut when i try to correct it, like its being pulled away from dead-centre. I almost ran into cars in the other lane, was honked at multiple times.. Now i am extremely careful and drive with both hands on the steering constantly adjusting to stay inside the lane. A friend who was following me last weekend said i was weaving so much that it looked like some drunk was driving the car!! The steering issue has to be fixed before it caused any fatalities. |
