What owners wrote

At highway speeds, during a mild turn, the car unexpectedly pulls in the same direction as the turn. First occurred 3 weeks after purchase. Took car to dealer immediately. May be related to existing steering recall. Dealer cooperative so far. Checked VIN against existing recall, but it was not associated on the ntsb web site.

Reported at 1,100 miles, April 2019

I bought my car in mexico and have moved to north las vegas nevada. The dealer will not make the necessary safety repairs under the recalls. What do I do? Do I have an unsafe car?
