CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH ON A OFF RAMP AND STARTED TO DOWNSHIFT, APPLIED BRAKES WITH VEHICLE IN RIGHT LANE, AND IT DRIFTED OFF INTO LEFT. CONSUMER STARTED TO STEER, AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *AK CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, HE COULD NOT, THEN DOWN SHIFTED VEHICLE TO TRY AND SLOW IT DOWN WHICH DID NOT HELP, CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. *SLC
THERE IS A VERY FINE SOUND WHEN I DRIVE AT 55 MPH AND I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND HE SAID IT MAYBE THAT BECAUSE THE LICENSE PLATE IS NOT INSTALLED YET. MY OTHER CONCERN IS
BRAKE ARE REALLY BAD, LOCKS IF PUSHED MORE, IS LIKE THE BOOSTER HAS MORE POWER THAN YOU PUT ON THE PEDAL, THE TRUNK WILL NOT CLOSE WELL, NEED SLAMMING, AND THE STEERING NEED ALLIGNMENT MOST OF THE TIME (TIRESIZE: 14X5)
