Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The suv deviates to the right at any speed with in a few seconds. it is extremely notiaceable at speeds above 40 mph. constant pressure must be held on the steering wheel to the left. the suv also deviated to the left when the brakes are applied hard, such as for sudden halting. the suv would end on the shoulder if the brakes were applied hard. the suv has been at the nissan repair shop four times. there was some adjustments the last two times. now the suv still deviates to the right (like tring to run off the road) at cruising speeds. there has been a change with the behavior with sudden braking. the suv now ends on the left lane or incomming lane when the brakes are applied suddenly. the above problems were not noted during the first two weeks of driving, but since them it seems to be getting worse. the dealer has not been able to fix the problem. i do worry about the behavior of the truck on the road under rain, snow, or ice conditions. i find it difficult to predict what the truck will do under an emergency. are you interested in looking at this problem?. *ak
