Took vehicle to dealer in April 1999 for steering problem. Vehicle would just drift off course. Typically happened at speeds between 35-45 mph. Dealer could not find any problems, but did rotate tires. Read article in paper which noted investigation into problem with same exact symptoms that I experienced. Wanted to file report to lend further emphasis to your investigation.
