    Suspension

    Since new this car has been extremely hazardous to drive on slick roads. The rear end routinely steps out or slides out unexpectedly even when driving in a straight line. Even on dry pavement the rear end has a sensation of stepping out when cornering. The vehicle has been re-aligned by the dealer twice but the problem remains. The problem occurred with the oem tires as well as replacement pirelli tires. This has…
