What owners wrote
Vehicle pulls/drifts to the right at highway speed. Steering flutter conditions exist. Consequences include steering and suspension component wear and tear. Vehicle under went two wheel balances, two wheel alignments, a tire rotation, and inspection by a field specialist on 6 separate repair attempts. As of today, condition still exists. Manufacturer will not attempt to fix the problem. A TSB bulletin exists for the model year but manufacturer has said the fix/condition does not apply to my vehicle due to VIN.
The frame underneath the front bumper is totally rusted and crumbling. My mechanic showed me yesterday and said the radiator would fall out. Also the control arrms to the front two wheels are very badly rusted.
