Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I started the car last friday, 11/15/2019 and got a bunch of system errors popping up one right after the other. I drove the car to get to a safe parking spot and noticed the steering wheel totally off center about 70 degrees counter clockwise. I am not sure if the two (accident/calibration and the faults) connected or if this is just a coincidence. I did not take any notes of the faults at that time because I didn't have my phone or anything to write with. Now, today, I started to drive home from work and was doing about 60 MPH and the same thing happened. …”
