When the vehicle is in eco pro plus mood. While speed is above 56mph the vehicle will somtimes automatically break to 56 mph. When in cruise control this seems to happened when cruise control is disengaged every time. I feel this is a safty concern especially when I try to accelerate but the car will ignore my input and continue to deaccelerate to the economy pro plus 56 speed.

On multiple occasions, when pulling away from a parking sport or accelerating from low velocity, the power steering on left appears to lose power. The car begins to pull very heavily to the left. The issue continues the entire drive. The steering became hard. After turning the car off, the steering returned to normal
