“First, we will start with every time I turn my car to the left the steering wheel box and the brakes skid then the ABS sensor comes on Then we will start with the car every time I put it into a gear. It automatically goes back to park, and I cannot move the car in any direction. When the issue first started, I could reverse then when I put the car and drive in the middle of the street it would automatically go back to park which could cause a crash I only have video proof of this.”
