problem #1

Optima SE 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 160,000 miles

The vehicle wanders to left and right with steering wheel held straight. On wet roads feels like you are going to skid off the road. On snow it is impossible to handle, I have to drive my Buick in the winter because I have almost wrecked the car several times, finally gave up and drive the Buick in bad weather.
