Was driving in good weather conditions and 2007 ford focus began to veer to the left and right out of control - I had no control over the steering or brakes is was as if the car went on auto pilot and started driving itself. After about twenty seconds of rocking left and right in the road the car made a sharp right and left the highway hit and flipped twice with my daughter and myself inside - fortunately we are both still alive the 2007 ford focus is totaled.
