MY VEHICLE IS WONDERING ON THE ROAD SO BAD THAT IT HAS BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I CANN'T GET THE DEALER TO DO ANY THING ABOUT IT. MY VEHICLE IS DRIFTING ON THE ROAD SOME TIME TO THE RIGHT AND SOME TIME TO THE LEFT. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 15 MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN 15 TIMES, I HAVE SPENT MY MONEY AND TIME AND I'M GETTING NO WHERE. PLEASE HELP ME! I WILL PORVIDE THIS VEHICLE FOR ANY KIND OF TESTING. I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS PORBLEM HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST WITH INJURIES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT HAD ONLY 15K MILES. IT WAS A PROGRAM CAR FROM MITSUBISHI. PLEASE CONTACT ME DAY OR NIGHT AFTER JANUARY 5TH, 1999, I WILL PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENT THAT YOU WOULD NEED. THANKS, MIRWAIS RAHIN

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
