What owners wrote
The car steering is unstable and can't go straight on the uneven pavement. It goes to right or left by itself. The alignment doesn't fix the problem. The new set of tire doesn't fix the problem. Totally, the driving feeling is unsafe.
I bought a used m35x and the car since I purchases has a problem with the steering tracking when on the highway. The car tracks to the bumps in the road and pulls you out of the lane. To counter you need to dramatically pull the wheel back to counter. Something isn't right with the car design or set-up. I have new tires and alignment and this still didn't correct the issue fully.
