Description of the problem | Vehicle demands constant correcting of the steering wheel in order to safely remain inside a lane. Small corrections to one side will result in the vehicle overturning to the other side and vice versa. It is physically exhausting to maintain the vehicle safely especially on longer drives. Dealership denies there is any problem with the vehicle when there clearly is. Could possibly be that they know the problem exists but do want to lose sales by admitting to it. Please address this issue as there are many other complaints on other websites such as carcomplaints. Com about the same issues and it is a very dangerous problem that should be prevented. *js |
