Description of the problem | i was traveling to memphis, tn. The rear end of the car would constantly jerk out tot the left when i would hit bumps. I have taken it to the dealer several times, and was told this was a normal reaction for this kind of suspension. The problem has been constant, and during the winter, it tried to spin out of control. On several occasions i have almost lost control, and it is scary because i never know if or when it's gonna crash. I have read several other people having the same problem, including those who have had an accident. This will eventually kill someone unless something is done to fix the problem. |
