“Test drive before purchasing was stopped after a 1/4 of mile because of heavy front end shaking. Dealership changed tires saying that would fix the problem. Since then it has also fixed front end alignment twice, changed the driveshaft and two rear axles. Vehicle still shakes. Vehicle is perilous to drive on bumpy surfaces when driver has difficulty controlling front end.”
