THE CAR WAS TOKEN THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT, SINCE THEY HAD TOLD US THEY HAD SOME REPAIRING TO DO BUT THE CAR STAYED THE SAME. THE ENGINE MAKES A VERY UNPLEASANT NOISE, EVERY TIME. WITH THE STEERING WHEEL, WHILE TURNING LEFT, IT SEMI GETS STUCK. IN ORDER FOR THAT TO NOT HAPPEN, YOU BASICALLY HAVE TURN IT RIGHT AWAY. IT IS AT VERY HIGH RISK DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF IT WOULD MANAGE TO GET STUCK, IT MAY CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT. WHEN IT COMES TO THE WHEELS, EVERY TIME IT TURNS LEFT OR RIGHT IT MAKES A VERY ROCKY NOISE. WE HAVE CALLED TIME AND TIME FOR A REPARATION OR TO AT LEAST HAVE SOMETHING DONE. NO ONE HAS SEEMED TO REALLY CARE NOR CATCH THEIR ATTENTION.

HAD A NEAR DEATH INCIDENT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN THE CAR LOST TOTAL CONTROL, HYDRO-PLANED FROM THE 2ND TO LEFT LANE AND HIT THE CEMENT BARRICADE ON THE LEFT AND IN THE PROCESS THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED ALONG WITH THE BRAKES AND WITH THAT IMPACT, RICOCHETED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER OF A 4-LANE FREEWAY BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. FREEWAY IS 280 S (SAN FRANCISCO TO SAN JOSE). LOCATION WAS PALO ALTO, JUST A FEW MILES AFTER SAND HILL RD EXIT (MENLO PARK) WHERE THE FREEWAY IS JUST STRAIGHT FOR MILES WITHOUT ANY STEEP CURVES. HAVE DRIVEN SO MANY OTHER BRANDS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS IN HEAVY RAIN ON THE SAME FREEWAY WITHOUT AN INCIDENT. THE CAR CANNOT HANDLE FREEWAY SPEEDS AND BECAME VERY UNSTABLE. COULD BE DEFECTIVE TIRES, THEIR TECHNOLOGY CONTROLLING THE WET TRACTION WHICH CAUSED HYDROPLANING ETC FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN PROXIMITY ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER ACCIDENT.
