Steering problem

Test drove a used 1999 Mitsubishi Diamante VIN # 6mmap47poxt003764 at the wayzata auto center bargain lot 1805 east wayzata blvd. , wayzata, mn 55391on or about 12/26/02. The car was showing approx 57,000 miles. While my wife was driving at highway speed she made a lane change and the car entered into an oscillation which caused me to question her driving and then drive the car myself. I repeated the exercise and noticed the vehicle had a tendency to enter into a pronounced oscillation any time a turn was attempted at cruise speed. We immediately returned to the dealer and pointed out what I considered to be a serious safety issue to the salesman (denny hopkins). I later wrote an email to noah joseph at the village chevolet dealership who originally advertised the car in traderonline. I have yet to get a response stating they looked into the issue. By the way, I'm a qa auditor, mechanic and pilot, comfortable with the personality quirks of most vehicles. While bothersome and a deal killer for us, I feel this issue would be a serious problem for inexperience drivers in less than ideal road conditions. I have yet to get a response from the dealership saying they either investigated or took action on the problem.
