: the contact stated while driving at various speeds, while letting go of the steering wheel, the vehicle drifted quickly from side to side. Additionally, there was a noise coming from the right front wheel well and the noise was more pronounced while driving across rough road conditions. Also, while placing the vehicle in reverse, there was a loud vibration from the driveshaft. The vehicle was seen by a dealer for the steering and driveshaft. The dealer performed a wheel alignment to correct the steering problem, but was unable to determine the cause of the vibration. The vehicle is currently at the dealership for further inspection.
