The consumer stated even with an alignment, new struts, shocks and good tires, the vehicle continually pulled to the right.

The contact stated the vehicle has too many blind spots on all sides of the vehicle. Also for seeing out the front window is difficult to see out of due to the windshield being lower and the seat higher than on other vehicles. Due to this visibility issue the contact feels unsafe driving the vehicle.
