I purchased a 2007 infiniti m45 sport and feel that I have an incredibly dangerous safety issue due to the steering and/or wheels and tires. The problem, known as "tramlining", is that on slightly uneven or lightly damaged roads the car's steering decides to aggressively follow a path that it chooses itself and if the driver has the slightest lapse in attention, the car will abruptly veer completely into a different lane or off the road. "white-knuckled" driving has become all too familiar to me as a result.
