Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The steering wheel of this car randomly takes over, for no obvious reason, at high speeds (over 45 mph). I have no control over the steering wheel when this happens. Driving this car has been terrifying! While passing a tractor trailer, the steering wheel pulled me towards the truck 3 times!!! I thought i would be killed! This is a loaner car from the dealership. I called the dealership, colonial subaru, in colonial heights, va, to tell them there is something wrong with this car. I was instructed to take it out of lane assist mode. This, however, did not solve the issue. The car randomly pulls to the right or to the left, when lane drifting isn't an issue. Why isn't something being done about this? I see there are already documented cases of this with the 2019 vehicle model. |
