While coming to the end of an on-ramp to 295 w, the vehicle suddenly began steering from left to right; I had absolutely no control; the brakes didn't appear to be helping at all, and I was only driving at a speed of aprox. 30 mph as always when I drive this on-ramp. I've "never ever" had a problem as this occur with any vehicle I've driven on this or other on/off-ramps. It was scary. Luckily I did not hit on-coming traffic but did, however, hit a guardrail. My 8 yr. Old was also terrified, but luckily we did not sustain injury.
