| ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | |||
| 03/08/2011 | 2000 | ||
| While driving at 50mph or higher, normal highway speed, it feels the car is kindly floating on the road and does not has a firm contact with the surface, on a perfectly sunny dry day. the feeling is like having tail spin a little. i've been having this experience ever since it was new, and in addition, the alignment is off from new, 1000-2000 mile new, and i always have to pull to the left to compensate. i went to dealer and reported this around 10k/15k miles, and they recommended alignment, and we did. however, problem persist. just yesterday, the rear axle just gave up and broke. i took it to the dealer for warranty service, but they refused and accused that the car's been in collision. no, no accident/collision whatsoever! and no there's not any physical damage to the tire and rim. rather, i believe this is a defect from the manufacturer. | |||

| Driver side mirror shakes or vibrates at normal driving speeds (city and highway) on flat paved roads. the shake or vibration is excessive making the images of vehicles shaky. it is worse in the night time with shaky images of headlights. it can be considered as a safety issue as the vehicles in the mirror are not clearly visible leading to near collision during changing lanes. repeated attempts to replace the mirror with the dealer has not corrected the issue and the manufacturer claims that it is a characteristic of the mirror. passenger side mirror has absolutely no issues i.e.. no shakes or vibrations at any speed in city or highway. | |||
