AT 60 MPH, THE WANDERING INCREASED AND CONSTANT CORRECTIONS HAD TO BE MADE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO HIGH AND TOO FAR FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS FOOT DID NOT COME TO REST EVENLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, RATHER HIS FOOT CAME TO REST UNEVENLY ON THE PEDAL. THE STEERING WAS INADEQUATE. WHEN THE RATIO BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT DRIVING SUSPENSION WAS TOO LARGE, SO AT TIMES OF AN EMERGENCY WHEN A QUICK TURN OF THE WHEEL IS NECESSARY TO AVOID A COLLISION, SUCH RESPONSE IS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE RESPONSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SLUGGISH. THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN WITH EASE, BUT REQUIRED EXCESSIVE TURNING AND EXCESSIVE STRENGTH. THE SUNVISOR EXTENDED TOO FAR DOWN WHICH IMPAIRED THE CONSUMERS VISIBILITY. *JB | |
