| Steering | 412.9%ODI 10556106 · 1 miWE OWN A 2011 INFINITY M37X THAT WE FEEL IS UNSAFE BECAUSE OF A STEERING DEFECT. THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY VEERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE UNLESS THE ROAD TRAVELLED IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITHOUT ANY IMPERFECTIONS. WE HAVE TO MAKE CONTINUAL COURSE CORRECTIONS AND IT IS VERY EASY TO OVERCOMPENSATE THE STEERING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO VEERING OFF THE ROAD ESPECIALLY IF THE ROAD IS A NARROW TRACK/COUNTRY ROAD. WHEN YOU ADD ICE RUTS, OR SNOW, OR LIGHTLY RUTTED ROADWAYS THE VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL MAKING IT UNSAFE. *TR Look up ODI 10556106 at NHTSA ↗ | 1032.3%ODI 10865525 · 66,068 miOPENED CAR WITH TOUCH KEY AND TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL MADE LOUD POPPING SOUND.
