What owners wrote
I was driving down the freeway when the back-end of the car became very loose and out of control. The car was swerving back and forth violently. I was able to gain control avoiding the cars to the left of me and the ditch to the right. I was able to get the car under control and I slowed the speed way down. I pulled off the highway and into a driveway to inspect.
Paws rear wheel steering abruptly turns rear wheels when car is going straight. Usually after a turn. This has happened multiple times when driving at moderate speeds over the last year or so. Dealer unable to diagnose problem but installed new steering software that did not fix problem. Car is out of warranty and only dealer solution is to replace the rear steering actuators for approx. $4k but can't be sure this will fix the issue. Since car is out of warranty, I would have to pay.
