NHTSA complaint #10566465, filed 2014-02, 27,363 miles“At sustained highways speeds of 70-75mph, with the outdoor temperature above 87 deg. F, vehicle wheels intermittently veered, taking the vehicle out of the lane rapidly, and without any feedback on the steering wheel. This occurred on both freshly paved interstate highways and older pavement, with no wind present. It occurred several hundred times during a 2-3 hour road trip, forcing a speed of 50mph for safety, despite the much higher speed limit. At higher speeds it would occur every 1-2 seconds, requiring extreme focus and insanely rapid reflexes to prevent a crash. …”
