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. *TR
