Car suddenly went into limp mode and airbag failure warning, collision warning, and seatbelt warnings went off. Car slowed to 1 mph on a busy highway almost instantly.

These errors are directly tied to the ADAS/ADCU systems currently under NHTSA Recall 25V559, which identifies a defect where the system provides "sudden steering inputs that a
