What 23 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY IN THE CENTER LANE SWITCHED TO LEFT LANE AND CAR IMMEDIATELY AND VIOLENTLY JERKED LEFT AND I HAD TO USE STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM VEERING OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 4 SETS OF TIRES CAR HAS BEEN ALIGNED 5 TIMES AND IT WILL NOT STEER STRAIGHT AND REQUIRES IMMENSE EFFORT JUST TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD WHENEVER THE CROWN OF THE ROAD IS ON THE LEFT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL DATING BACK TO 2008 AND IT A SAFETY AND DEFECT HAZARD. UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR MAIMED THE MANUFACTURER WITH JUST DENY ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL VEHICLE. THANK YOU *TR
