| Steering problems |
I was driving on freeway in the center lane switched to left lane and car immediately and violently jerked left and I had to use struggle to keep the car from veering off the road. I have gone through 4 sets of tires car has been aligned 5 times and it will not steer straight and requires immense effort just to keep it on the road whenever the crown of the road is on the left. This is a known issue with this model dating back to 2008 and it a safety and defect hazard. Until someone gets killed or maimed the manufacturer with just deny anything is wrong with this particular model vehicle. Thank you.
