“While driving on the highway at 60+ MPH the vehicle exhibits a severe sway or pull from side to side. The severity of the swaying increases with speed, the driver has to fight the steering wheel to keep the vehicle centered in its lane. The sway/pull has been present since the first highway trip at about 1000 miles, and is still present after dealer checks and realignments. The swaying can be so severe as to make the driver feel the car is uncontrollable at normal highway speeds. The swaying can be so severe as to cause the vehicle to depart from its lane. …”
