The vehicle fish tailed when driving on a windy day or when an 18 wheeler passes or if a sudden lane change is made. This started occurring only when speed was at 55 mph, but has progressed. Currently, it's occurring at 50 mph and slower. The dealership replaced all four tires, the control bushing, and the rear struts in an attempt to correct the problem. But problem recurred.
