WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR, PULLS TO THE LEFT.
THE CAR VEERS RIGHT OR LEFT IRRADICALLY AS IF A GUST OF WIND PUSHED THE CAR OR LARGE TRUCK PASSED BY. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING SINCE IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AND HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO DRIFT OFF THE ROAD.
AT SPEEDS ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING HAS SUDDENLY, ERRATICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING PULLED THE CAR TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AS IF HIT BY A LARGE GUST OF WIND (WHEN THERE IS NO WIND OR PASSING TRUCK). IT IS AS IF THE STEERING IS OUT OF CONTROL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THE CAR HAS 3,000 MILES AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5-8 TIMES. I NOTICE THERE IS ALSO AN IDENTICAL COMPLAINT FOR 2018 SUBARU OUTBACKS. THIS LAST HAPPENED TODAY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING.
