The vehicle seems to want to cut off while at a traffic light! I simply do not understand why the engine seems to be so loud. I had both shocks and struts replaced after purchasing this vehicle. The entire frame seems to nose dive or "wander" while I am driving on the highway, totally uncomfortable feeling. Tires are basically new I just don't know what seems to be going on with this car!
