Wheel was slightly going back and forth and it felt like I was driving in a rut. The all of a sudden the wheel jumped over real fast and I hit my head hard on the driver window. I immediately jerk the wheel and pulled us back to our lane. The person with me asked if I went to sleep or something and I said, see the car is jumping in front of the truck, like before when just me driving. I had complained about the car and I could have a serious accident or worse, I could die after hitting the window hard enough that is took me a second to get us back in line because of my head hurting. The car usually feels like in a rut before It jumps me over and I have to come back to my lane. I was jumped into the big truck going the opposite way but was far enough away that I could get us back in our lane. It has happened to me a few days before when someone behind me was coming up just to the left and the wheel jumped over and I almost hit that car and had to fight the car back into my lane. People thought I was drinking to do the swerving like I had. The safety of others and myself is very dangerous. I don't like traveling anywhere with the car, When I drive it does this every now and again. I only drive now for 2 or 3 miles do the danger. It has happened several times even when driving with no one around. I got the vehicle according to the contract is 7-31-2023. I called Carvana to tell them to take the car back and it is a safety issue but Carvana said I am over the 7 day period and I had to take it to Silver Rock to do have maintenance. and they will try to find the issue. To make sure there is a major issue. No police, insurance or other represented except my friend has experienced it. The vehicle feels like you are stuck in a rut when it started acting it, sometimes it just stay in the lane and not send me over to the left but it has done it a few times. No other warnings were made.

The lane departure system is great though it moves the wheel quite a bit. My issue is, when the vehicle is passing an intersection with active lane departure on, it pulls the vehicle toward medians and forces the driver to pull it back into the center of the lane. Active forward collision assistance has not worked when vehicles have flown by directly in front of the car. I have manually stopped the vehicle every time. The lights on the 2020 model are low, and the “top lights” are actually only turn signal or hazard lights. This has caused other drivers to assume my lights are “off” and flash their high beams at me on numerous occasions, especially when driving at night. Which impairs my vision as a driver on a consistent basis. This vehicle should have top lights… I drive quite a bit so these are consistent issues I have observed over the past year of owning this vehicle from new. Thank you!
