While driving my car "gliches" the lights go on and off, the power steering stops the locks go up and down and all electronics in the dashboard go on and off. Last week, it shut down in the middle of the road and I could not start it for about 5 minutes or so. Got it home and it did it again the next day while it was parked. This started years ago. Brought it to dealer they said "well it's not doing it now". I was not educated at the time to push for anything to be done. The stopping completely while driving that happened last week.

I was driving a 2015 Sonic dealership car because my car was in the shop for the weekend, a car was about to hit me and all did was I stepped on brakes and the steering wheel locked and ran me into a pole. I had just turned the corner, the weather was great, I was only going 15 miles.

When going around a corner to right you fight steering and then car goes to left hard and it crosses center line. I feel for the safety of the owner and others on the highway this needs addressed and fixed
