Default Losing Control Due to Wind Gusts, GC'15, AVP.

When I drive at speeds faster than 65 mph, wind gusts lock my steering for anywhere between .1 to 3 seconds and shift direction, left or right, by a couple of degrees. Depending on the strength of the wind, it can be a slight inconvenience, like driving with a flat tire, but it may also take me to another lane, up to a 1/2 of width of the vehicle. It is accompanied by a whistling noise coming from the far corner of the dash panel, left side when it's pushing me left and right side when pushing right. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

The dealership hooked it up to a computer and did not find anything.

Hi Maksim Milovidov,

Sorry to hear about this! If you decide to revisit your local dealership I'd recommend going for a test drive with a technician or service advisor. This can be helpful in duplicating and diagnosing the issue. I'd be happy to follow up with them for you if needed, just PM our page with your VIN and let me know!

Because of this I had to purchase a dash cam for the vehicle. Last trip, about ten days ago, I was able to capture some of it on video.
