About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The car will not stay aligned. Every 1,000 miles or so, the steering gets wildly out of adjustment and causes the car to drift all over the road. It is frightening to drive, especially in dense traffic at highway speed. It is impossible to maintain a straight line with the car. At times, the steering wheel must be aimed far to the left to go straight. Moments later, with no warning, the car dives to the left and the wheel must be held to the right. 'straight' on the steering wheel is never straight on the road. This condition is highly inconsistent and seems irreparable. The vehicle has been aligned 8+ times by different shops and it continues to 'reset itself' back to this nearly undriceable condition. The first instance was at 4,100 miles. The vehicle now has 51,000 miles. The condition is the same regardless of the speed, road surface, road type, or crown in the roadway. You can hear many creaks and sounds and feel the body of the vehicle flexing significantly as you drive. It is my belief that there is a structural defect making the car unsafe to operate both for the steering and suspension symptoms and also regarding its crashworthiness.
