2 PROBLEMS. FIRST. THE FOLLOWING MALFUNCTION LATER CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, DETAILED BELOW. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD DISENGAGE, SPEED WOULD DROP AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY SIDE TO SIDE FOR A MOMENT, STARTLING US AND POSSIBLY FORCING US INTO ANOTHER LANE. WE THOUGHT THE JERKING MAY BE DUE TO STRONG WINDS BUT WANTED TO GET THE CRUISE CONTROL CHECKED. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES IN THE 2H 30M DRIVE BEFORE ULTIMATELY ENDING IN AN ACCIDENT. THAT SAME TRIP, NEARING OUR DESTINATION, WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A SINGLE-LANE OFF-RAMP CONNECTING THE CURRENT HIGHWAY TO A PERPENDICULAR HIGHWAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS INSTANCES WHERE THERE WERE NO OBSTACLES AROUND, THIS TIME OUR CAR VIOLENTLY RICOCHET AGAINST BOTH SIDES OF GUARD RAILS. VISUALLY, THE BODY WAS BARELY DAMAGED BUT THE TIRES AND THE INNER ASSEMBLY WERE TOO DAMAGED TO DRIVE. SECOND. THESE SYMPTOMS PRECEDE THE ONE WRITTEN OF ABOVE THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. WHEN COMING CLOSE TO STOPPING, THE CAR WOULD JERK FORWARD. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM ZERO, THE CAR WOULD PAUSE AND SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD.A
