Total brake and steering loss at 60mph ..I can send you the screen shots tomorrow/ november 23rd (prom the photos taken on my son's phone of the dashboard notice...plus a virtual ghost-like abrupt take over of lane assistance despite my having turned that off!
While driving on straight highway, the vehicle's lane keep assist feature which was turned off (the default position) activated automatically without driver input or warning and caused the steering wheel to turn and abruptly moved the vehicle from side to side. This required the driver to take corrective action to force the vehicle to remain straight. A considerable amount of force was required to override the automatic steering action.
