When I purchased this car this car new I noticed that the steering was very easy to turn. I had a discussion with a management person at the dealership and was not satisfied. I then wrote a letter to your president and I don't remember getting a reply. The problem with the steering is that it turns way too easily and does so at all speeds. I have on several occasions run off the road because of the light steering.
