“We bought a 1999 Mercury Tracer brand new on 03-09-99, 6 months later the steering wheel started vibrating badly, this vibration can be felt thru out the car. The car has been in for repair 4 times. The service manager pete solic now says that this vibration is normal. When we took it back the 3rd time pete sat in the car and said that he would not drive that car vibrating like that and he would not expect us to. Well 4 repair attempts and 5 months later he still expects us to drive it because he now says it is normal. I asked if it was safe to drive, he said he could not answer that. …”
