“I have noticed that while traveling on the highway, the vehicle sways mostly towards the left. At first I thought it was just me, getting used to the new car. Now I notice it happens all the time. I am constantly correcting the vehicle to remain centered in my lane of travel.”
NHTSA complaint #10544465, filed 2013-09, 300 miles“As I was driving on the highway with speed of 60mph, I find it very difficult to keep the car going in a straight lane without it being sways to the left. (almost hit another the car on the left lane side.) another problem is when raining, the windshield wiper constantly made click click sound, and sometimes it wouldn't wipe. (making it very hard to see.) the last one is the loud wind noise when driving on the highway. On the side of the window, a very loud noise somehow slip through and hurting my ear. (all windows are closed.)”

It keeps on wandering and at times it feel like it will run into other cars. This wasn't really concerning until today at approximately 55 MPH on highway 76 towards heading towards north east philly, the car decided to steer to the right. I had no control over the wheel. I tried moving the wheel to the left but it wouldn't I was lucky to pull over and check for tire pressure loss. The tires appeared fine and inflated at 35 PSI so I restarted the car and it kept wandering for a little while. …”
NHTSA complaint #10532564, filed 2013-07, 1,400 miles“At highway speeds (greater than 50 MPH) it is very difficult to keep the car going straight in my lane. It's very tiring due to the need to constantly correct the random side to side drifting and also extremely dangerous. The problem is exacerbated with wind, turbulence when behind a large truck, and on wet roads.”
