I was driving down the highway and my car suddenly swerved/veered and I had to fight for control of the vehicle. I barely avoided having an accident. It had rained the night before but was not raining when this occurred. This is the third time that this has happened since I bought the car in january 2004. The second time this happened, it was a sunny day this summer. I was on a city street and again driving straight when the car suddenly swerved. I had a passenger in the car with me. The first time was in the spring of 2004, a couple of months after I bought the car. I was on the freeway. I had just completed a lane switch and was going straight when the car swerved/veered. I almost collided with the median. After this third occurrence, I knew there was something wrong with the car. I made an appointment with the dealership I bought the car from and brought it in. After a 5 minute road test, the dealer said that they couldn't replicate the problem I was describing. The dealer told me if I wanted to pay for an inspection, they can further inspect the car to see what was wrong with it. I asked them to go ahead because I didn't want to get into an accident as a result of this problem. The dealer just called and informed me that after a 15 minute inspection, they did not see anything out of the ordinary. My problem is similar to that in complaint #10127778. Please look into the problem.
