11-23-16, driving on interstate at 65 mph in a 70mph, suddenly steering wheel began to pull by itself left to right repeatedly for about 3-4 seconds, I nearly lost control, braked gently and steering returned to normal, ,battery saver mode came on a short before this happened, 2 hours later on a 40 mph city street I was making a normal low speed left turn on a green light, car seemed to not go where I steered it and we hit a traffic control pole, deploying all airbags, there was a light drizzle in both instances, but this was not a hydroplane, battery saver mode was on for over 4 hours during our entire trip until our accident.
