“I have a Toyota Corolla. I was pulled over one time by the nashua police in 2007 alleging that my vehicle was swerving. I couldn't feel if it does..but couple weeks ago I observed it very closely.and yes it does swerved. I would like to add to the list of my previous complaint that the second time that my car accelerated in reverse motion could also be attributed to steering mechanism. Why ? I was engaged in reverse , while cutting the wheel to make a 90 degrees angle backing but my car went into a donut spin. As a woman what do I know about cars. …”
