Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | At least 10 times in the past week we have almost crashed due to the steering. We went off the road twice. The car is seriously veering off to the right, almost like you are hydroplaning on dry land. You can't even steer the car back into the lane. It just goes by itself. I did take it to the dealer today. They are saying that it is the lane assist being on and to turn it off. We've had the car for 5 months and now all of a sudden this is happening. It is not right and someone is going to be killed. Please investigate these complaints and please do a recall before innocent people are killed. This is happening on the highway as well as smaller streets |
