GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL, WITH OUT WARNING, AUTOMATICALLY TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. IT'S THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. IT GOT ALOT WORSE. NOW IT WILL TURN THE STEERING WHEN I START THE CAR. THERE IS NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIKE CHECK ENGINE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. TURNING ALSO WAS HARD.
