Car will pull to the left or right without warning. Whenever you are driving at any speed. Especially when you have a low spot in the road or slightly uneven pavement. You have to hold the car on the road or it will not stay in lane. Highway or in town. Have returned to dealership for repair with no luck. Was told that the alignment on the vehicle was good.

Pulls to one side by model year
What owners say
Driving on city streets - car steering wheel pulls to right without warning - feeling of losing control of car by driver - also pulls to the left when changing lanes to the left -- speed 40 to 50 miles an hour - feels like steering wheel is "loose" or has come loose. Complained to dealer yesterday - they said it is a suspension problem and to bring it back - have an appointment monday morning at 8 am to have it fixed.
I took the car in for service because the car was pulling to the right, along with the regular oil change, and the dealer is telling me that the spindle is bent. They are telling me that this could only have occurred in an accident, but we have not had any accidents in the 11,800 since we purchased it new last december.
Above 50-60 miles an hour the steering began to wander (it felt like I had no control and the car wanted to steer itself) very dangerous! On an interstate where speed limit was 70mph.
Loose control of the steering wheel when driving faster than 50 MPH on highway, or turning on curves. The steering wheel tends to wander that the driver does not have the control of the steering wheel. The driver feels unsafe.
I took delivery of this new vehicle on 10 september 2018 after short test drive on urban streets. By the time I had driven on about 100 miles on rural and 4 lane roads I was really disturbed by the way the vehicle "wandered" from side to side and seemingly without any steering wheel input except enough to correct the drift to right or left. It seems when the wheels are centered the steering wheel appears to have "dead zone". I called the service manager and he said "we get a lot of complaints about that". Took it to dealer on 30 oct 2018 as(3341 miles) and said it was alright . I have not "gotten used to it" and is exhausting to drive. It is like driving in strong cross winds when there is no wind or hydroplaning on dry roads.
