STEERING
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. I JUST RETURNED FROM A 3000 MILE TRIP AND I BECAME VERY EXHAUSTED WITH HAVING TO CONSTANTLY BE. *JB ON THE ALERT AND CORRECTING THE STEERING. IT IS WAY TOO SENSITIVE AND DOES NOT TRACK DOWN THE ROAD AS IT SHOULD. I TOOK IT TOO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT , TOOK IT TO A SERVICE STATION TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY BROUGHT ME IN TO SEE THAT THE WHOLE FRAME UNDER THE CAR IS RUSTED. THE BOLTS THAT HOLD UP THE AXLE AND SUSPENSION WERE COMPLETELY GONE AND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE UNDER CARRIAGE. THE WHEEL WAS TILTED AND THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WAS WORN ALL THE WAY DOWN . THERE WAS NOTHING THERE TO SUPPORT THE WHEEL. *TR
