Malibu LT 1.5L

Car has been doing it since I have had it but would blame it on the wind or the road and now it’s jerking so much so it’s going to cause me to crash going high speeds while in the highway. I still owe money on this vehicle and have no other transportation but am scared for my safety and the safety of others on the road and the possibility of cashing into someone. I don’t want to have to live with killing someone that was void of my control and due to this very dangerous issue.

How has this not been dealt to prevent injury from this issue most certainly causing a crash involving me and possibly another driver or someone in my vehicle and surely will result in an accident with how abruptly the steering jerks to the left the times it’s accounted to me and it’s noticeably gotten worse and now there is no mistaking that it’s the car and steering wheel is jerking to almost cause me to lose control and the steering wheel out of my hands in a motion that’s so quick you can’t stop it in time to prevent an accident. Luckily I have not been next to another vehicle to date when it’s happened. Over correction could be easily something a driver would do and could cause the car to flip going the speed I’ve been driving times it’s happened! Once had my car since 2020.

This had happened since I’ve had to and now is very obvious it’s the steering wheel jerking and not the road or the wind! I’m very scared to drive and don’t know what this will do reporting it other then being a paper trail if and it’s only a matter of time that an accident occurs and with nothing being done to prevent the possibilities and many dangerous issues and concerns if not handled before me or someone else is hurt I will file suit as this clearly has been completely ignored when reported by others as though lives are not as important as saline these unsafe and dangerous vehicles like the one I’ve been sold 2018 Chevy Malibu LT 1.5 turbo
