Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since day one this car has had a shake in the steering wheel at the speed of 55 - 65 mph. this car has been back to the dealer 4 times for this problem.the dealer has told me that they don't know what it is. i requested a representative come and check the car.the response that i got was, "what your feeling in your steering wheel is commercialy acceptable to the industry." as a techinian myself, i believe that no new car should shake in the steering wheel. the manufacturer has declined my request to buy back my car. i need some help. all of the same cars that i drove from the dealer had the same problem. something is not right. my wife and two small children drive in this car and i can't help but think, what if something went wrong. i would have never purchased this car had i known that it would have been this much trouble. i would like the car to be repurchased .
