“I was driving power steering message came on drive with care super scary wheel got stiffed and shut down turned back on drove stiff again luckily I did not hit car or car hit me and at the end it shut down super scary thank god im alive and my water pump broke”

NHTSA complaint #11770799, filed 2026-10

“While driving at highway speed approximately 70 mph), the vehicle suddenly veered into an adjacent lane without any steering input and began swerving back and forth uncontrollably. I did not make any steering corrections that caused this behavior. After approximately 10 seconds of back-and-forth swerving, the vehicle straightened out on its own. No collision occurred, but the incident felt life-threatening. I’m grateful no vehicle was driving next to me, or I would have likely died or been severely injured in a car crash. It was terrifying. Note: this was a rental car through Avis”

NHTSA complaint #11706870, filed 2025-12

“Was making right hand turn which causes vehicle to straddle shoulder for a brief period of time because of how lines are painted. Auto steering resisted the manual steering to get into the lane properly and pulled vehicle onto shoulder further which lead vehicle to be pulled into the ditch.”
