Since I've had my V, I've noticed that on some types of roads, generally those that have the depressions ("ruts") from lots of traffic, that my car really seems to "wander" or "hunt" in the lane - for lack of a better term.
What I mean is it feels as if the car seems to wiggle or shake back and forth quickly, much like what happens whenever you drive over some pavement that has been shaved down in preparation for resurfacing. Everyone's heads that are in the car when this happens, including myself, shakes side-to-side almost as if I was making a series of quick, sharp steering wheel inputs. My wife hates it and often accuses me of doing it on purpose. It doesn't do it on basic rough roads etc., just on roads with wheel ruts, even very minor ones.
My steering is nice and tight, but it kind of feels much like driving a car in which there is a lot of play in the steering.
When I first experienced it, I attributed it to the wide, low profile tires and the fact that there was very little sidewall (which is quite stiff as well) for the tires to absorb these types of imperfections, but the other day I was booting on it pretty good on a major freeway, rounding a gentle curve, when the car started doing it to the point I became uncomfortable and let off the gas.
It's in at the dealer today for other other issues, so I asked them to check the tire rods, alignment, etc. Does anyone else's car do this, or am I alone?
Tks
