Consumer Description

A WARNING THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILI TRAK" APPEARS AT THE SAME TIME IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTROL SCREEN WHERE THE RADIO IS BLACKS OUT COMPLETELY ALSO. IT LASTS FROM A SPLIT SECOND TO SEVERAL SECONDS BUT IT RENDERS THE DRIVER HELPLESS TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, TURNING, BRIGHTENING HEADLIGHTS, USING ELECTRONIC WINDOW BUTTONS...OR JUST WHILE DRIVING AND USING NOTHING ELSE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE UPDATED MODULES AND CHANGED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR BUT IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE NOT THAN BEFORE.
