Description of the problem	I was almost in a rollover accident on oct 7, 2019. I was travelling on state highways from auburn, pa to hershey, pa at apprx 930am. Roads were damp/wet but rain had stopped. Since i purchased my vehicle, i had always engaged all safety features including lane keep assist (lka), collision alerts, etc. This was main reason i upgraded from my 2014 equinox. On rt 183, heading up a winding mountain road, i almost lost control several times, despite driving well under speed limit. **note: my bf and i had previously complained to dealer, and even had it in for service, bc we both felt car pulled to the right on its own. We are both extremely safe, experienced, non-distracted drivers and thought something was quite odd/off. Dealer found nothing. Closer to hershey, i was coming around a bend in the road on i believe rt 743 when suddenly my car pulled me severely to the right and almost over an embankment, which would have led to a rollover crash and potential serious injury or death. By the grace of god, and great driving, i just missed a stone wall, and my ? 1/4 mile swerving skid back and forth ping-ponged me all over the roadway, barely avoiding mailboxes, fences, and a house. Luckily oncoming traffic did not appear until i straightened out of my skid. I called the dealer and said "my car just tried to kill me." after research, they called me back and said to turn off the lka. I have, and car no longer pulls to the right, ever. I read the manual, and buried around page 254 is a small black box warning that says to disengage lka on wet, curving roads or collisions may occur. Really???? People can die, and the warning is buried on page 254??? I have talked to other newer car owners who have had similar experiences in other cars/brands. I think these "safety features" are a double edge sword and need further research. I almost died.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
