2000 MITSUBISHI GALANT Steering Problems

THE SUSPENSION/STEERING FOUNDATION HAS A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT LOCATE. AN ALIGNMENT IS NEEDED EVERY 2/3 MONTHS(NOT ALWAYS RIDING ON ROUGH ROADS). STEERING FEELS OUT OF CONTROL, HAD 4 ALIGNMENTS DONE, 2 SETS OF 4 BRAND NEW TIRES PLACED ON THE CAR IN A 2YR. PERIOD- THE STEERING & SUSPENSION FEELS OUT OF CONTROL(ALMOST CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS) AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG...ALSO NOISE COMING FROM FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THAT THEY CANNOT FIND EITHER...........I SEEN A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS SENT ALREADY!

Mileage: 34,000
