What owners wrote
I have owned the car since it was new now has 88k miles I have put literally 4 set of tires on this and have had a rear alignment kit done to it .this car sways really bad at speeds of over 65 MPH and when there is hardly any wind at all . Very dangerous to drive in the snow or rain . The car caused me to have a accident that cost my insurance company over 2000 to repair due to the swaying of speeds over 65 MPH .
Vehicle constantly "bottoms out" over minor pot holes in road or over speed bumps...if dip in freeway at freeway speeds the jolt will knock your teeth out. Been to dealer and independent mechanics and all say that suspension system is intact and nothing bent or broken. It is horrible however to have to experience. The shocks must be horrible and not well built for the car. Have had constant tire wear from poor alignment and again, it's the front suspension that does not hold.
