Reported at 12,500 miles, December 2013 CrashInjury

Vehicle is ok at approximately <50MPH but at highway speeds it requires 100% concentration to not veer out of the driving lane. It wanders all over the road on its own. It behaves like you are driving in a severe cross wind though there is no wind present. Many such complaints all over the internet. Completely unsafe and I have forbidden my family from driving it and am in the process of selling it.
