Description of the problem | I was driving a 2014 ford mustang convertible from the long beach airport (rental) and lost steering on the freeway at about 60 mph. I was in the far right lane and as i approached full speed, the car began to veer into the lane to the left of me. As i tried to correct, there was a delayed response by the steering mechanism by about 3-4 seconds. The car then veered back right, and again, another delayed response. I was veering widely between the width of two lanes while this was occurring. This continued for about a minute until i was able to slow down and exit the freeway. |
