This car has so many problems they cant all be listed.the battery melted, the tires wont stay inflated properly, the A/C broke, the cruise control broke, just to name a few. The car shakes if you go over 60 and the dealer charged me to align the front end, told me it needed to be done every 6 months.also said I should have known the battery would melt, its Korean.
While driving at 30 mph front end support system on passenger's side of vehicle started to vibrate very hard and pulling to the right. Bolts came out of support system, and nuts came off drivers side.

Driving on highway travelling 75mph from ft lauderdale to brooksville, had problems with steering and keeping vehicle on the road. Lost control of steering and swerved off of the road. Was able to get back on the road and continue. Got vehicle back from dealership for an alignment and 4 new tires and still the vehicle was shaking. Will take the vehicle back to the dealer.
