What owners wrote
This car cannot keep a straight line on any road. I have had all four tires replaced, all four wheels replaced, five tire alignments/balances done to no avail. This has caused severe danger when driving on both one and two lane roads, as the car will suddenly move into other lanes. Has caused another car to go off the road to avoid my car hitting theirs causing damage and injury to that person.
Steering rod became detached from coupling that is connected to steering rack. Car was traveling 70 MPH on interstate road and was safely stopped even though the steering wheel was completely unresponsive. Upon lifting the automobile on the tow truck, the detached steering rod and coupling were visible. Incident occurred without warning or indication of problem.
