“The car wanders wildly at speeds of 55mph + and you are in another lane if the wind blows. Have brought to dealer, had tires rotated, suspension checked tire PSI matching etc. It is design flaw with some component, whether it be the car is simply too light, or the suspension is too soft etc. This is a serious safety concern. I have actually been pulled over by state troopers for excessive weaving , when it was windy out.”
