We lost traction control and hit a car who took the red light and the air bags popped and the driver airbags emblem was marked on my forearm. May you please assist me
After acceleration the steering will randomly pull left and or right. This requires an unexpected force to control causing a safety concern. This can happen at any time or weather but normally at the beginning of a drive. Ongoing issue.
