Dealer said the drive train was out of balance. On one occasion wheel began to vibrate badly, wheel felt like it was pulling wildly to both the left and right and the wheel itself was leaning toward the right. Continued to ride over a bridge and almost at the end the driver lost control and the car went careening into the last segment off the guard rail on right hand side, then veered to the left and went spinning across the median, briefly spinning into the east bound lane, eventually coming to a stop in the median.
The first problem I had was the 3rd gear shaft grinding, then transmission, heater didn't work, turn signals don't work half the time, and steering belt had to be replaced.
