The vehicle went over 2 parking curbs and shrubbery and was headed into traffic. Vehicle was moving at about 20-25 mph so I was able to steer it and avoided traffic by turning right, staying on parking lot grass & rock barrier. Car went into gully and eventually stopped on its own. Dealership was unable to find problem. Contacted corporate office who had vehicle inspected by auto engineering firm and no problem detected.
