The steering makes a thumping noise. The car also veers off to the left or right while driving. I had a front-end alignment performed by the dealer. It still does the same thing. I did take it to the Dealer, twice and they claimed there was no issue. I've never heard a thumping noise in any other car that I've owned. I have not had an accident but there is something going on with the steering of the car. I'm not sure if the steering column was broken or attempted to be stolen. There are scratches around the ignition switch that were there when I bought the car.

Drive assist occasionally swerves out of lanes at parked vehicles, pedestrians, and even cars in on coming lanes. Happens inconsistently and is unpredictable. When the car is perfectly centered with drive assist on, you begin to let your gaurd down. Which is when you least expect your car to forcibly turn the steering wheel at an unsuspected bicyclist.
