Today it happened at 70 MPH on the freeway. It has happened as slow as 40 my in the past. I had to pull over very quickly on the freeway today in a very dangerous scenario with semi trucks coming up behind me. Twice I have taken it to mechanics that have replaced the track bar and the steering damper. It is a recurring problem even when you take preventative measures. I am afraid to drive the vehicle. …”
