Sometimes when it is windy specially on the bridges or highway, or when a semi comes from opposite direction, the car will sort of jerk & get a loud squealing noise and the force will make the car to be very unstable while driving like if the car would be pulled by a great force, I told the dealer on numerous occasions about the problem and even showed them a video recording I did while driving the vehicle and they never did anything about it. This vehicle has become a great risk for me and my family and im scared of even going on trips with this car.
