Description of the problem | Steering: around one week prior to the incident, i had my 2012 chevy cruze under panel modified due to a potential engine fire. The following week, while driving home from work, i experienced a "wandering" in my vehicle. I noticed it again driving home the next day. Now, whenever this is wind, i experience my vehicle "wandering." when this occurs, my car drifts left and right much more and the front end feels lighter and far too responsive. Fuel: after the modification to my under panel, i have noticed a drop in my fuel mileage. I have seen around 2 mpg or more of reduced fuel economy. |
