TSB applied for vibration issues. Afterwards, car no longer tracks straight on the highway. Car drifts and pulls to the side at highway speeds.
Noisy front on street bumps. Stabilizer links and some rubber parts had to be replaced. Would be simple and cheap if not for the GT model. For this one, only OEM (expensive) parts are available...
Steering wheel had a slight shimmy at highway speeds. Dealer balanced tires, and this improved, but did not totally elmiinate the problem.
