I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP (SUBURBAN CHEVROLET IN ANN ARBOR, MI), WHERE MY TIRES WERE ROTATED, OIL CHANGED, AND A RECALL FIXED. AS I LEFT THE DEALER/SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT DAY I FELT MY CAR PULLING SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN TO WORK AND THE PULLING CONTINUED, WITH MY STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY WOBBLING. I LEFT WORK FOR AN APPOINTMENT A FEW HOURS LATER AND AS I WAS DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING MORE VIOLENTLY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT, WHICH WAS LUCKILY THE ONE FOR MY FATHER'S WORK. I DROVE TO HIS PLACE OF EMPLOYEMENT WHERE HE CAME OUT TO CHECK TO SEE IF MY WHEELS/TIRES WERE OK. HE FOUND THAT ALL LUG NUTS ON ALL FOUR TIRES HADN'T BEEN PROPERLY TIGHTENED AND WERE ONLY "FINGER TIGHTENED." ONCE HE WAS SURE TO PROPERLY TIGHTEN ALL LUG NUTS I LEFT AND RETURNED TO THE HIGHWAY TO GET TO MY APPOINTMENT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NO LONGER SHAKING, AND WHILE IT CONTINUED TO PULL SLIGHTLY, IT WAS NOWHERE AS SEVERE AS IT WAS PRIOR TO THE LUG NUTS BEING TIGHTENED. MAJORITY OF DRIVING WAS HIGHWAY.
