“Steering/straight line tracking on this Nissan Maxima sv (purchased 06/28/2016) is horribly unpredictable from it's date of purchase. Driver required to be hypersensitive to correcting tracking/line direction of aforementioned vehicle. Natural tendency of front wheels are to careen to left and right abruptly and dangerously with the result being to move into oncoming traffic lane or drift quickly outside of painted lane lines. Constant and inordinate attention is needed to drive this vehicle at speeds of 50 MPH or higher. In motion, highway, straight paths.”
